This game has been influenced by Minecraft, but plays differently. Graphics are decent, but too blocky. Controls are wanky as it, you should add a way to remap them. Instead of just forging weapons, you should be able to forge armor so you take less damage from enemies.

Hehey, and interesting little game you have over here. It's like a weird combination between a side-scrolling combat game with a bit of minecraft thrown in. It does seem that it doesn't work on all browsers though. At least it doesn't work on Internet exporer, and I had no indication what was the problem so it took me some time to figure out that I had to change the browser in order for it to work. The game also fits the theme as you start from nothing but rocks and bones and you go all the way to making the first sword, the most basic ancient weapon. Still the laser enemies I feel did not really fit in here. But all in all the game goes on rather smoothly and intuitively, so I will give it a decent rating. I have featured as the third game in my ludum dare let's play video: https://youtu.be/UP29iaz8pTs . Good luck and make even better games.

Awesome, I just watched your video. Its really helpful to see someone play through the game without knowing what to do. I've looked into the internet explorer problems and it turns out that the sound was causing the game to crash. I have fixed this for now as well as stopped it from antialiasing (which made all the images fuzzy) but sound just doesn't play at all on internet explorer now because it doesn't support wav files. In the meantime, I have suggested people use chrome in the description.
Thanks for the review and the video
The mechanics are great; it's kinda like Minecraft, only I don't have to browse a wiki for 35 minutes to find what to do; it all comes naturally through experimentation. Also, was that final boss suposed to be Herobrine?
Not too bad, I like the side scroll survival and smithing tactics. But when you make a sword it is nearly impossible to survive, You should fix this a bit...

Thanks for your input, I have made the wave after the sword a little easier now, and I changed the AI of the final boss.
