It took about 4 months of hard work, spread out through about a year and a half. And we're going to be updating soonish, so we're still putting time in!
can you add a way to cancel crafts? the only way to not go through with a craft that would work once you place down the materials is to swap one of the materials with something that wont work or just hit play without crafting which is kinda annoying. could you add something like a cancel button at the bottom that only becomes pressable when theres a possible craft and when you press it it just sends the materials out of the crafting circle back to the top or the left
Can't you drag and drop the items off of the crafting board? It's probably not something worth adding a button for though, the fewer buttons the better.
if there's a way to download the game can someone tell me how and if there's not can you add one because I get the occasional error and I lose some progress
on an unrelated note can you change the air sound effect from someone saying air to a whooshing or blowing noise
the most overpowered item is probably ice spear(air+water=ice,air+wood=stick,stick+stone=spear,spear+ice=ice spear) and i also use fireball(fire+electricity=plasma,plasma+fire=fireball) because its good for moving around and has decent damage and i use fire lily(wind or water+stone=sand,sand+water=clay,wood+stone=dirt,clay+dirt=planter,planter+water=flower,flower+fire=fire lily) because it has insane damage output in closed spaces and pretty good damage in general along with not too much cooldown time
Can you make a tab in the compendium that categorizes the object by type? Maybe the title would be defense and it would have stone, tree, concrete, etc. Another would be random and it would have a wand and a bottle of smoke under it.
Hey there. Are you still having this problem? The game can take up to a minute to load in depending on your internet, and once it's loaded it might take a bit longer to start. Let me know if you need help getting the game working!
I think paper airplane should craftable with all of the basic elements; PA + Fire = PA that trails fire, PA + Wind = PA with a faster use time and higher damage, and so on. It would make PA move fun and chaotic.
No, add more - gunpowder, you will throw it and then after a couple of seconds it will explode with fire, then gun- attack basically like a spear but bigger range,bullet model and faster firerate which you can make with gunpowder and iron, then glass + wood will give you spyglass- attack similar with fire element but slightly stronger and bigger, then when you combine pistol and spyglass you will get rifle which will shoot a fast,small bullet which will deal good damage and has a good range, also with gunpowder you can make explosives - combine gunpowder and bottle with fire, you can throw it and it will explode and erupt 3 waves of fire around it. Aslo maybe a galaxy sword which will look like lightsaber you can make it by combining plasma and sword.
Also sorry if i have some mistakes im russian and still learning english
Yeah no worries! To get to a sword, you need to first find a forge which is crucible + coal. Crucible is clay + stone. Then sword is forge + steel. Good luck!
I have a feeling something is up with itch. Every once in a while someone seems to have a bug for a day or so before it goes away. Hard to know though, my code could be shoddy.
I only noticed that after reading your comment. I thought all this time that the reward for completing it was just Kraft claiming to be a better artificer than Toko.
Though it is hilarious for sure, wouldn't it impact the ratings?
I got a really bad and weird glitch. I used the Hint system to discover the Vine recipe. I now have the item unlocked in the item list... But it doesn't show any recipes, and Hints won't give me a hint for the Vine recipe. All there is is Grape Juice (needs vines) and tea, which I can make. What is the recipe for Vines? I can't figure it out.
Yeah sorry about that, the current hint system breaks down once all items are "discovered" (but not all recipes are). Vines are stick + plant or wire + plant.
I haven't played the game in a while, and the new update seems to have a lot of good and bad. (sorry in advance for writing a comment longer than a TedTalk)
Bad
Whenever I use that item list, the audio goes totally wack.
If I click off the game, and scroll down here, the audio keeps repeating itself, like how Team Fortress 2 used to crash for me. Also clicking off the game just stops the audio when it didn't use to, and I personally like the soundtrack of the game.
The level titles feel a bit intrusive. Maybe instead of covering the entire screen for a while then disappearing, it could appear on the bottom left for a while and then go away.
I don't like the shopping cart animation for getting items, and also it sorta snaps out of existence once it's done. Plus if you get a lot of items it takes ages to finish. Maybe it could fade out too.
I HEAVILY disagree with the ability to get buffs in the store by using stars.
Wasn't there a game over music? Now it's just silent.
The funk with throwing items like Clay Pot is still present. Also the Bow's aim is off, the center projectile it fires is not
Good
I really love the new title screen music. Such a jam.
New sound effects for picking materials up feels very right.
Map preview is VERY VERY GOOD. I love it!
Hints are nice, they feel like they could help.
I REALLY REALLY LIKE the cosmetics.
New sound effects too, like throwing Thunderspear, or using Motor. That's really cool!
And apparently, if you throw Thunderspear into an obstacle and it bounces to move another way, the projectiles it splits into still travel in the same direction. Funky, but in a very good way.
Is it just me, or is there some sort of change to the art? I'm not sure, but if it is there I like it.
Test Zone is a great addition.
How the bad could be improved / Suggestions
Not sure how the item list could be fixed.
Again, don't know.
As I said, the level titles could be smaller and on the bottom left, appearing for a while then disappearing.
Shopping cart animation could either have all the items collected sorta splash out at once,
The star system, instead of being used for only cosmetics, hints, and items, could instead maybe be used towards just cosmetics and hints, with more cosmetics available, perhaps. That, or the stars could be used to purchase 1 of an extra material you need out of Electricity, Fire, Water, Air, Wood, and Stone, at a decent cost. Like, 5-18 stars.
The game over music could be brought back, or maybe just a small game over sound effect.
Just have the Clay Pot and other items like it travel in an arch still, and land at a set distance away from Kraft.
Dirt + Wood = Mulch, maybe? It would throw up a whole bunch of low-damage dirt and sawdust projectiles to keep Kraft from moving in the direction it's thrown, and to block enemies from moving, with a 15-20 second cooldown, maybe?
Shovel + Electricity, Lightning, magnet maybe? = Drill, it would deploy a large column of dirt projectiles for a somewhat short time.
Not sure + Steel = Shield (if its not already there), it would fire 3 large shield projectiles that excel at reflecting enemy projectiles, cannot be moved at all and have a pretty good ability to knock enemies back.
Also, this is not an insult or attack, but just constructive criticism.
P.S. how the heck do you make the Sword? I've gotten a whole bunch of recipes that USE it from Hints, but I've never been able to make it. Also, does Sawdust even have a use?
edit: nevermind, the star system is actually pretty cool but i feel the element buying thing would be awesome
Hey, thanks for taking the time to write about the game. It's very helpful to get a bunch of feedback.
Lemme respond to your feedback as best I can :)
"Bad

- The audio issues are unfortunately due to my using FMOD. Since browser games run single threaded, audio stutters can happen if too much is going on at once. And yeah, the music not working/stuttering when you leave the web page is another unfortunate side effect of using fmod, so sorry about that. Unfortunately I can't really do anything about it.
"The level titles feel a bit intrusive. Maybe instead of covering the entire screen for a while then disappearing, it could appear on the bottom left for a while and then go away."
- Fully agree with you on this one. I'll make a note to change that for the next update.
" I don't like the shopping cart animation for getting items, and also it sorta snaps out of existence once it's done. Plus if you get a lot of items it takes ages to finish. Maybe it could fade out too."
- I guess I could make it go faster if you have more items? I think it adds a lot of clarity for newer players, and I don't really want to take it out.
" I HEAVILY disagree with the ability to get buffs in the store by using stars."
- Why's that? I think it's nice to have some roguelite progression run-after-run.
"Wasn't there a game over music? Now it's just silent."
- I don't think there ever was, but I'll add something there.
"The funk with throwing items like Clay Pot is still present. Also the Bow's aim is off, the center projectile it fires is not"
- Ehhh yeah they're a little whack but honestly it's a fair bit of work to fix that, and I'm kinda short on time. I'll consider it. As for bow, thanks for the tip, I'll fix that.
Good
"I really love the new title screen music. Such a jam."
- Thank you! I'm super happy with how it turned out too.
"Map preview is VERY VERY GOOD. I love it!"
- Been meaning to do this one for a while, glad it works for ya.
"Hints are nice, they feel like they could help."
- Definitely some work still to make them better, but they're a start.
"I REALLY REALLY LIKE the cosmetics."
- Thanks! We'll slowly add more.
"New sound effects too, like throwing Thunderspear, or using Motor. That's really cool!"
- Thanks! Sound effects took a lot of work, but they really bring life to the game right?
"Is it just me, or is there some sort of change to the art? I'm not sure, but if it is there I like it."
- We cleaned up a lot of stuff, so it's probably subtly better.
"Test Zone is a great addition."
- Could probably also use some adjustments, but yeah I think it helps :)
Anyways thanks for the feedback! The next update won't be coming for a while tbh (probably like 2 months), but when it does you'll see a lot of these changes in the game :)
"I HEAVILY disagree with the ability to get buffs in the store by using stars."
After playing with it a bit more, I realized that it was actually a pretty good addition, and pretty balanced too. The item that adds 1 of each of the base elements at the start of a run is a massive convenience. Also, Nekonomicon seems to make the Concentrator a bit useless. Maybe there could be an item that significantly decreases cooldown time, but also decreases damage?
Or there could be items that could buff certain classes of weapon, i.e. Flowers might have less cooldown, for instance.
"I guess I could make it go faster if you have more items? I think it adds a lot of clarity for newer players, and I don't really want to take it out. "
Yeah, that makes sense. It is a bit annoying, but it provides a whole lot of clarity.
huh didn't realise that the bow & clay pot items section of what I wrote was cut off.
"Definitely some work still to make them better, but they're a start. "
Perhaps there could be more valuable hints for more stars?
I.E. 1 star hint would give you a recipe for Sword (forge + steel) but 2 star hint wound give you a recipe for Sword like this:
(forge + steel)
(forge = Crucible + ?)
(steel = Iron + ?)
Anyway, thanks for responding to my comment! I hope stuff goes well for all of you at Pure Jam Games! : )
a fun combo for this game is fire lily or etheryllis with a javelin and obsidian spear, the fire lily is flower + fire, the ethyrillys is flower + plasma, the javelin is spear + wind and the obsidian spear is spear + obsidian. have fun with this combo! and try to change it and make it unique in your own way!
Hi, i have a problem with the recipe for crucible.
it says gravel + clay. but it gives you whetstone if you do that, also i have made crucible many times but somehow forgot how to please tell me the recipe.
Hey, sorry about that! There are some overlapped recipes, I'm trying to fix them as they come up. You should be able to do crucible with stone + clay though
Huh... Which browser are you using? I'll look into this, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
If nothing else, I haven't received any other issues about playing the game in Chrome. It's possible that older browsers like Internet Explorer, are unsupported by the current Unity version :( I'm planning to make a Windows build for the game which should hopefully circumvent these issues.
Ah, actually on second look, it seems like there was an issue with Itch's servers yesterday that cause this bug. Sorry about that! If it persists, let me know and I'll contact Itch staff.
also what are the recipes for the planter, sword and motor? ive been trying for a while now and i cant figure them out. also the courier kraft is awesome.
i love this game, ive been playing it nonstop since i found it a few days ago, i do however find it a bit annoying that drops can get knocked into places you cant get. will you fix that?
Thanks for enjoying the game! I can't really give an ETA on the next update right now in all honesty. We're aiming to have one in a month or so probably, but it could be a bit longer than that depending what our scope is.
Theres 2 main elements you need: A movement element (short cooldown) and an attack element. My personal choices for these are the terrarium and the thunder storm or sand storm. Keep these in mind in your runs, they can be a life saver.
A great attack element is the Thunderspear, and I still haven't found a great movement element yet. Thunderspear is seriously the MVP in most of my runs, though, and it's semi-cheap.
Thanks for the attack element man, and for movement here's my rule: when in doubt, use fire or lightning. Those two elements in my comment are some you can get on the literal first round. Terrarium is short cool down, medium knock back, and strong. The storms are good because they strong and once your on the second round you can upgrade them to tornadoes if you wait to get more elements.
That's an interesting strategy. I love the Terrarium too, but personally I won't touch any of the storms because they either last too short for their long recharge duration, and so giving small damage while leaving you vulnerable, or pull enemies closer to you, which is not something you would like.
My #1 combo is Clay, Light Bulb, and Water Lily. Alternatively I used to go with Harpoon instead of Light Bulb, but the purple dudes on later maps are a lot harder to defeat with it, so I mostly use the latter now. Fire Lily is a good replacement for Water Lily when I'm focusing on damage because it recharges much faster, hence giving more frequent widespread damage, compensating its lack of protection.
The downside of this style is, of course, it costs lots of Stone.
Hi, just checking in to say (you probably have known this) that if you do Kraft & Slash a google search, you will get results other than the official itch.io page and the Play Store app page. I don't know whether those sites has your permission or not, if they do, then I'll try playing it there too just to see if there's an unknown bug or anything. If they don't, I can try reporting them. :)

noo my progress
Oh no, your save progress got wiped? Some people have been having trouble with that recently, ill try to do some troubleshooting this weekend.
i cant claim the carier craft
i used code and did speical combination and still cant click claim
nvm
i died then it says my favorite is pot but idk how to make and i have not used
and i cant click anything
i just found out how to make pot!
how long did this take to make?
It took about 4 months of hard work, spread out through about a year and a half. And we're going to be updating soonish, so we're still putting time in!
fun and hard game simple story all in 4 months. sounds like success!
why is cherry blossom apart of botany and not flowers?
Oh is it not? That's a mistake then, we'll fix it up
can you add a way to cancel crafts? the only way to not go through with a craft that would work once you place down the materials is to swap one of the materials with something that wont work or just hit play without crafting which is kinda annoying. could you add something like a cancel button at the bottom that only becomes pressable when theres a possible craft and when you press it it just sends the materials out of the crafting circle back to the top or the left
Can't you drag and drop the items off of the crafting board? It's probably not something worth adding a button for though, the fewer buttons the better.
oh sorry you can, i didn't realize the hitboxes on the items was so big
if there's a way to download the game can someone tell me how and if there's not can you add one because I get the occasional error and I lose some progress
on an unrelated note can you change the air sound effect from someone saying air to a whooshing or blowing noise
I'm considering adding a downloadable version for the next update. Still undecided at the moment, but I give it an 80% chance of happening!
And hey, I spent like 2 minutes making that sound 2 years ago, I can't possibly fix it now...
(Just kidding, I've been meaning to find another sound for air. Thanks for bringing it up.)
also, how do you craft the fridge?
fire+stone=iron
iron+electricity=wire
wire+electricity=magnet
magnet+electricity=motor
motor+air=fan
water+air=ice
ice+fan=fridge
Jam do you know how to craft a sickle?
fire+stone=iron
iron+fire=steel
fire+wood=charcoal
sand+water=clay
clay+stone=crucible
crucible+charcoal=forge
forge+steel=sword
stone+wood=dirt
dirt+water=plast
plant+sword=sickle
P
spaer +lightning = O
Does anyone know the best items?
Depends greatly on the player imo
Yea I guess
i perfer light bulb to start
light bulbs are cool cause of their range but i prefer javelin since it has a lot of damage too
yea i use light bulb and lightning javelin cuz i just noticed dat was a thing
the most overpowered item is probably ice spear(air+water=ice,air+wood=stick,stick+stone=spear,spear+ice=ice spear) and i also use fireball(fire+electricity=plasma,plasma+fire=fireball) because its good for moving around and has decent damage and i use fire lily(wind or water+stone=sand,sand+water=clay,wood+stone=dirt,clay+dirt=planter,planter+water=flower,flower+fire=fire lily) because it has insane damage output in closed spaces and pretty good damage in general along with not too much cooldown time
Dude I use the same exact items mainly! What a coincidence.
Yes it's meta in this game.
My personal favorite is the Fire lily, it does amazing damage, and is great for small rooms with many enemies.
Very cool concept and game
How do i code a game on a chromebook? I dont care if it is pong, or something, I just need to know.
Heyo, I haven't used any in-browser game engines before, but you should check out Construct! https://www.construct.net/en
My co-worker used it to create our company's most recent game, so it seems like it has a full feature set. Good luck!
Thank you!
Let me know how it goes, I'm curious!
Going well so far. I have also been keeping an eye out for other browser coding sites.
Can you add ice storm please, Storm+ice?
Why can't I save the game. When I open always time, it starts with level 0 with no favorite weapon and no compendatum
I have the same problem. I don't think there is a fix online.
same,i dont know why?
yep it seems like the game resets everything when you restart the page which is annoying since i get errors pretty often that force me to restart
Where is the movement button??????Or can I move only by the recoil of the objects that I shoot?
you can move with the recoil of objects you shoot.
I forgot this existed after not playing this for a while, but this happened a lot, though I always missed the chance to take a screenshot.
A big Storm animation randomly covers the screen when I use Bottled Storm in the test zone.
I mean the complete anim, with a dark cloud in the middle and the small sparks afterwards
I might be missing something obvious, but... how do you move?!?!
Is it just shooting to move?
Yes, all you can do is use knockback to move around.
Can you make a tab in the compendium that categorizes the object by type? Maybe the title would be defense and it would have stone, tree, concrete, etc. Another would be random and it would have a wand and a bottle of smoke under it.
the game for some reason will not load in
Hey there. Are you still having this problem? The game can take up to a minute to load in depending on your internet, and once it's loaded it might take a bit longer to start. Let me know if you need help getting the game working!
i am no longer having the problem but the problem did go on for a few days but its all good now
I think paper airplane should craftable with all of the basic elements; PA + Fire = PA that trails fire, PA + Wind = PA with a faster use time and higher damage, and so on. It would make PA move fun and chaotic.
If you scroll down a bit you'll find that some of the devs' replies are hinting about it already being on their list.
👀 <- look for the ones with this emoji
add a rifle please
No, add more - gunpowder, you will throw it and then after a couple of seconds it will explode with fire, then gun- attack basically like a spear but bigger range,bullet model and faster firerate which you can make with gunpowder and iron, then glass + wood will give you spyglass- attack similar with fire element but slightly stronger and bigger, then when you combine pistol and spyglass you will get rifle which will shoot a fast,small bullet which will deal good damage and has a good range, also with gunpowder you can make explosives - combine gunpowder and bottle with fire, you can throw it and it will explode and erupt 3 waves of fire around it. Aslo maybe a galaxy sword which will look like lightsaber you can make it by combining plasma and sword.
Also sorry if i have some mistakes im russian and still learning english
Hey! Actually we'll probably avoid adding anything with guns to avoid raising the ratings :P
The plasma sword is a good idea though! Noted.
Im sorry if im posting too much, but could i have some help on crafting a sword
Yeah no worries! To get to a sword, you need to first find a forge which is crucible + coal. Crucible is clay + stone. Then sword is forge + steel. Good luck!
What are coal and steel?
It is *Charcoal, which is made by burning woods. Steel is mentioned a few times already in the comments below.
How do you craft clay?
sand(which you get by doing wind+stone or water+stone)and water
hey, it wont let me buy items even though i have enough stars
Man, seems like you're finding bugs in all my games :( which browser are you playing on? I haven't heard of these issues til now.
im playing in chrome
It works now, thx man
I have a feeling something is up with itch. Every once in a while someone seems to have a bug for a day or so before it goes away. Hard to know though, my code could be shoddy.
How do you make the tempered sword? I love to use it and wish to craft it.
Heyo, you can make a tempered sword by quenching a fire sword in water!
By the way, are you still having save issues?
Can you make it so that if you reboot the game it doesn't reset your progress?
oh no! Is that happening to you? That definitely should not be happening.
Sometimes it won't reset it, but I don't know why.
Two questions, 1, how many levels are there, and two, how do you get unlock/ donat codes.
Hey, just happened to check itch right when you posted haha.
1) There are 7 levels currently, including tutorial
2) You can get unlock codes by donating through the "Tip jar" in the top right corner of the main menu.
Oh, and you can also get an unlock code by signing up for our newsletter.
where is the unlock code i subscribed but can not find it in my email
Yay, I beat the game for the first time!
Somehow the second-to-last level is harder than the last to me, however.
OHMYGOD
the reward for completing the Compendium is hilarious, absolutely incredible, amazing job Pure Jam Games
I only noticed that after reading your comment. I thought all this time that the reward for completing it was just Kraft claiming to be a better artificer than Toko.
Though it is hilarious for sure, wouldn't it impact the ratings?
But animals are always nude anyways... lol. I'd remove it if an app store called us out on it, but I think it's tame enough to be okay.
hold on noticed what? i just found all the items and im not noticing anything
I'm playing Arificer right now and though I'm not sure if it's in this game, how do you make reed?
Please help I'm desperate
I got a really bad and weird glitch. I used the Hint system to discover the Vine recipe. I now have the item unlocked in the item list... But it doesn't show any recipes, and Hints won't give me a hint for the Vine recipe. All there is is Grape Juice (needs vines) and tea, which I can make. What is the recipe for Vines? I can't figure it out.
Yeah sorry about that, the current hint system breaks down once all items are "discovered" (but not all recipes are). Vines are stick + plant or wire + plant.
Thanks!
Oh, and just so you know, wire + plant doesn't work.
I haven't played the game in a while, and the new update seems to have a lot of good and bad. (sorry in advance for writing a comment longer than a TedTalk)
Bad

The level titles feel a bit intrusive. Maybe instead of covering the entire screen for a while then disappearing, it could appear on the bottom left for a while and then go away.
I don't like the shopping cart animation for getting items, and also it sorta snaps out of existence once it's done. Plus if you get a lot of items it takes ages to finish. Maybe it could fade out too.
I HEAVILY disagree with the ability to get buffs in the store by using stars.
Wasn't there a game over music? Now it's just silent.
The funk with throwing items like Clay Pot is still present. Also the Bow's aim is off, the center projectile it fires is not
Good

Just have the Clay Pot and other items like it travel in an arch still, and land at a set distance away from Kraft.

Oh, and a Used In section for items in the item list would be nice. I remembered something with lava but I didn't remember the other ingredient.
Edit: nevermind. lava + air = obsidian

"Is it just me, or is there some sort of change to the art? I'm not sure, but if it is there I like it."
- We cleaned up a lot of stuff, so it's probably subtly better.
"Test Zone is a great addition."
- Could probably also use some adjustments, but yeah I think it helps :)
Anyways thanks for the feedback! The next update won't be coming for a while tbh (probably like 2 months), but when it does you'll see a lot of these changes in the game :)

"I HEAVILY disagree with the ability to get buffs in the store by using stars."
After playing with it a bit more, I realized that it was actually a pretty good addition, and pretty balanced too. The item that adds 1 of each of the base elements at the start of a run is a massive convenience. Also, Nekonomicon seems to make the Concentrator a bit useless. Maybe there could be an item that significantly decreases cooldown time, but also decreases damage?
Or there could be items that could buff certain classes of weapon, i.e. Flowers might have less cooldown, for instance.
"I guess I could make it go faster if you have more items? I think it adds a lot of clarity for newer players, and I don't really want to take it out. "
Yeah, that makes sense. It is a bit annoying, but it provides a whole lot of clarity.
huh didn't realise that the bow & clay pot items section of what I wrote was cut off.
"Definitely some work still to make them better, but they're a start. "
Perhaps there could be more valuable hints for more stars?
I.E. 1 star hint would give you a recipe for Sword (forge + steel) but 2 star hint wound give you a recipe for Sword like this:
(forge + steel)
(forge = Crucible + ?)
(steel = Iron + ?)
Anyway, thanks for responding to my comment! I hope stuff goes well for all of you at Pure Jam Games! : )
a fun combo for this game is fire lily or etheryllis with a javelin and obsidian spear, the fire lily is flower + fire, the ethyrillys is flower + plasma, the javelin is spear + wind and the obsidian spear is spear + obsidian. have fun with this combo! and try to change it and make it unique in your own way!
how do you make flower
Planter + Water.
Planter is made with Clay Pot and Dirt.
Clay Pot is made with Clay and Fire, Dirt is made with Wood and Stone.
Clay is made with Sand and Water.
Sand is made with Stone and Water OR Air.
or you could put dirt in a bottle and give it water.
o h m y g o s h
THANK YOU SO MUCH I COULDNT FIND DIRT XD
Another fun combo would be reed and magnet. I also used bottle for it too
Hi, i have a problem with the recipe for crucible.
it says gravel + clay. but it gives you whetstone if you do that, also i have made crucible many times but somehow forgot how to please tell me the recipe.
Thanks!
Hey, sorry about that! There are some overlapped recipes, I'm trying to fix them as they come up. You should be able to do crucible with stone + clay though
I just updated kraft & slash and whenever I try to open it it just says something along the lines of "abort"
Huh... Which browser are you using? I'll look into this, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
If nothing else, I haven't received any other issues about playing the game in Chrome. It's possible that older browsers like Internet Explorer, are unsupported by the current Unity version :( I'm planning to make a Windows build for the game which should hopefully circumvent these issues.
I was trying to log in using the itch.io desktop app, it worked fine when i used chrome though.
Ah, actually on second look, it seems like there was an issue with Itch's servers yesterday that cause this bug. Sorry about that! If it persists, let me know and I'll contact Itch staff.
also what are the recipes for the planter, sword and motor? ive been trying for a while now and i cant figure them out. also the courier kraft is awesome.
I don't know for Sword, but Planter is clay and dirt, for what I remember, and Motor is magnet and electricity, I think? Not sure about Motor.
ty!
Ok, i got it now.
Sword is Forge + Steel.
Forge = Crucible + Charcoal, I believe?
Crucible I don't remember the recipe for.
Planter is Clay Pot + Dirt.
Clay Pot = Clay + Air or Fire.
Motor is correct, for what I remember.
Clay + Dirt does it too. It is more efficient.
i love this game, ive been playing it nonstop since i found it a few days ago, i do however find it a bit annoying that drops can get knocked into places you cant get. will you fix that?
Yep, that fix will be coming in the next update for sure :)
thank you, when can i expect the next update?? (sorry it took so long for me to reply, ive been too busy grinding the game tryna beat it)
Thanks for enjoying the game! I can't really give an ETA on the next update right now in all honesty. We're aiming to have one in a month or so probably, but it could be a bit longer than that depending what our scope is.
Theres 2 main elements you need: A movement element (short cooldown) and an attack element. My personal choices for these are the terrarium and the thunder storm or sand storm. Keep these in mind in your runs, they can be a life saver.
A great attack element is the Thunderspear, and I still haven't found a great movement element yet. Thunderspear is seriously the MVP in most of my runs, though, and it's semi-cheap.
Thanks for the attack element man, and for movement here's my rule: when in doubt, use fire or lightning. Those two elements in my comment are some you can get on the literal first round. Terrarium is short cool down, medium knock back, and strong. The storms are good because they strong and once your on the second round you can upgrade them to tornadoes if you wait to get more elements.
That's an interesting strategy. I love the Terrarium too, but personally I won't touch any of the storms because they either last too short for their long recharge duration, and so giving small damage while leaving you vulnerable, or pull enemies closer to you, which is not something you would like.
My #1 combo is Clay, Light Bulb, and Water Lily. Alternatively I used to go with Harpoon instead of Light Bulb, but the purple dudes on later maps are a lot harder to defeat with it, so I mostly use the latter now. Fire Lily is a good replacement for Water Lily when I'm focusing on damage because it recharges much faster, hence giving more frequent widespread damage, compensating its lack of protection.
The downside of this style is, of course, it costs lots of Stone.
How do you get the terrarium?
Hi, just checking in to say (you probably have known this) that if you do Kraft & Slash a google search, you will get results other than the official itch.io page and the Play Store app page. I don't know whether those sites has your permission or not, if they do, then I'll try playing it there too just to see if there's an unknown bug or anything. If they don't, I can try reporting them. :)
and again
