That was pretty neat :) I love that you can throw stuff at the customers xD

So to throw items to customers precisely is also ancient tech?XD

Keep throwing! :P
It's fun, but it really lags a lot on my computer, going 3 to 7 FPS while in game (even on fastest). Other than that, nice work!

Very cute and fun. Some sort of scoring / levelling would be good and make it more exciting. Also loved throwing stuff at customers.

i really enjoy this game, love the goofy nature of the game

a bit complain about the mechanic tho, the prize box that you get after completing an order shouldn't be openable only on crafting bench, it just make the crafting bench too crowded

instead let it break when you throw it, it should be much more fun

but its just a nitpicking really, very solid entry, awesome work!

O. Mah. Gewdness. This is amazing! I had a blast playing this. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a few Youtubers make an episode with this game. Really fun and a lot of potential. Great job!

@Spinach_Chicken I was thinking of porting it to VR in the future ;P (That price tag though)

Nice idea and concept. Also fitting the theme nicely. The feature we liked the most was throwing stuff at our customers and hearing the Wilhelm scream :) The music as well as the game were kind of hectic, which we enjoyed! We even managed to create a sword without reading the instructions! Good job!

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

Haha, this was quite amusing. My shop just kept filling up with spare supplies though, so I eventually started playing blacksmith basketball, in which I tried to do all the crafting by throwing the items across the room. :D

Very nice game, it was really fun to play it, even without instructions (I didn't notice them)

@PlanetHoward VR would be absolutely incredible! I've really been intrigued by everything with VR that I've seen so far, and I think this game would be a perfect fit for it! It is kind of expensive, though.

Really fun, great music. Sometimes it was a little difficult to control but overall was a great and entertaining game. Btw, I riped apart the "stove" lid, was that on purpose?

I didn't even complete a sword (mainly because I got to a certain point and couldn't figure it out) but I still had an amazing amount of fun just breaking everything apart and bouncing around the place.

It has a very Job Simulator vibe to it, and if given more to do and put on VR I think it could be a brilliant addition to that category of games.

also the music was perfect.

We played your game on stream, which you can view in this block: https://www.twitch.tv/cantgetourname/v/87134400
