The weapon crafting mechanic really had me enticed for ages to try out different combinations. At one point I wasn't worried about killing things, was just trying to make cool looking weapons. Very well done!

Nice idea, it's hard to understand what effect the different sword parts have though.

Also, I think I triggered a bug at one point: The blue ogre got caught in a loop and just whacked me over and over even after I had no HP left...

@Gaeel Did this happen after you created a fairly long weapon? I could see the game judging you too slow to move for a long time, so that might've caused the bug.

@all, thanks for the feedback!

This is a pretty neat concept, +1 for libgdx also. The pixel art when the character appears and disappears is pretty great too.

Great entry! It's a very original idea, and it's fun to make and try lots of different combinations. I really like the music, as well!

At first I was actually thinking on doing something along these lines. Nice to see it greatly executed :)

Very interesting and original idea! I also hit the issue where I got whacked over and over by the ogre -- and yeah, it was right after I made a very long weapon. Some more prompts about the weapon parts would be really helpful.

VERY cool idea! Would love to see more of an expansion on this

That was pretty cool. Like everyone else was saying I spent quite a lot of time trying out all the different combinations. Awesome idea :)

Innovative idea! It was very interesting experimenting with different combinations of the weapon (and seeing the changes graphically is a really neat concept).

8===D would be a weapon of choice :)
