this game is my favorite game that i play in my browser, I am a fan of this, I enjoy the fact that anything and everything is a weapon, one of my favorites is the javelin (stick+air) it is good for mobility, hits like a truck, insane range, and doesn't take five years to reload. great job on this game, kinda sad tho when i have to restart the whole game you could add checkpoint levels every now and then.

*edit* new favorite weapon is lightbulbs, they scare me a little and i'm the one using them
Hi! Is there a way to make the electric fan thing, or is it only an enemy drop? I don't even know it's name, I saw it once but it was gone before I acquired it because I was too busy fighting other monsters.
Hello! Every item you get from enemies is attainable from crafting as well :)
In the next update of the game, we'll have features to help you find out how to make items discovered from enemy drops. But for now, you can make the electric fan by using a motor and air (and motor you get from magnet + wire)
Thanks for answering :) I'm stuck on 108/192 now, can't figure out the rest 84 items. Could you suggest some.. really complex item for a crafting goal? And about the favorite in the menu, is it actually intended to show Kraft's, not the player's, favorite item?
The favourite item feature actually isnt working haha, I meant to take it out before this build but i forgot.
Truthfully, the max item count is lower than the one shown because I didn't finish making all the items in time for this release, so a number of items didn't make it in. The actual number for this build is (i believe) 140. I don't have the exact number cause we've done work since then, but there are some cool features coming in the next version to help out with that.
A few items that might help you out for now:
There are 5 sword variants, 7 spear variants, 8 types of flowers (cherry blossom, cactus, fire lily, etc), some weird items like a refrigerator, shaved ice, bowl and spoon, bowl and chopsticks, luminous tube, magic wand, bottled axe, bottle of firewater, terrarium...
Hopefully these suggestions lead you in the right direction!
Well, i had got the swords (fire, lightning, ice, tempered, and broad sword), 3 of the spears (fire, lightning, and obsidian spear), 5 of the flowers (water and fire lily, etherillys, goldenrod, cherry blossom).
I found that clay + stick doesn't always make bowl and chopsticks. It makes spear instead in some browsers, disabling me from getting b&c..
That's strange. We've done a lot of work on the combo charts since the current released update, so it could be the case, but in our current charts stick + stone and stick + iron are the only ways to make a spear.
In any case, stick + clay pot should be a surefire way to get bowl & chopsticks. Hope that works!
Of the flowers, you're still missing reed, cactus, rose, and orchid.
The anvil is the "forge" item. You can get it by crafting a crucible with coal. It's what we call a permanent item - once you make the forge, you can use it as many times as you want for the rest of your run. It's used with metals to make swords and other items like that.
You can drag and drop items on top of the book to get more information about them. The functionality isn't finished in this version, and we're making a tutorial for the crafting screen in the next update.
Yeah, the whole not moving thing is still a design choice that we're on the fence about. I think the game would feel better if you were able to use 3-4 weapons per round, that way you have a variety of movement options, but we might eventually just go with straight up proper arrow key movement.
Sword is pretty tough to get to: You've gotta make a crucible, add charcoal to it to get a forge, use the forge with some iron to make steel, use steel + forge to make a sword.
Unfortunately Kraft&Slash has been on the back-burner for us cause I've been swamped with school and Artificer, and I'm pretty much the only dev. With the bugs and missing features, it'd still take a pretty big amount of work to shape up this game. Once my other dev (Mark) comes back in January from his work term in LA, we might get back to work on this game.
so....my game is...well.. not full i guess?i mean maybe my screen is too small(im on comp btw) but i cant go in and play...i cant see the buttons too...all i can do is craft my weapon... pls fix this...im really looking foward to this game!!!!!!!!
If I craft only items and not weapons (that happens often for me) what can I do? To continue I can only delete and download again the game. I would love mabye an undo button? The art style is great, i really wanna see this game fully release!
Hey! You can actually use elements as weapons as well. There are definitely tons of quality of life fixes that need to be implemented though, so thanks for your feedback :)
Hey again Sara, fire spear should be working! We haven't finished making a lot of the items work yet though, so some items like thunder spear aren't usable for now.
Hey all! We've decided to remove the Kraft & Slash from the GMTK Jam since we felt it didn't fit the creative spirit of the jam or its theme. A good portion of the game design was from our main game, Artificer, and that didn't seem fair to all the entries that were built from the ground up.
We're glad we participated and, to all you GMTK devs, keep making awesome games!

We're working on it! I have some heavy classes this semester and as the primary programmer on two projects, it can feel like things are coming along slowly. I'll talk to my other programmer on this project, Mark, and see what if he's up to continuing to work on this game.
I'm getting back into the swing of working on the two games weekly, and things are coming along nicely! I'll try to at least get a few new weapons out each week for this game, and fix a few bugs. Also some nice music. And some new ways of tracking progress. And maybe some new levels.
I feel like it would have been really fun had I actually been able to craft a cool weapon, but it just couldn't keep me interested enough to do so, I ended up crafting 20+ items that weren't weapons, and due to that combat quickly became repetitive and kind of boring. Great potential for the future tho!
Can we get a crafting guide or some hints or something? I made about 20 items that weren't weapons :|
Also how the hell do I use the crucible? Also the fire urn. Uuugh. I do love the crafting part though. Fighting is a bit buggy, I have 0 waves remaining and -9 enemies remaining (I think I killed them too quickly maybe?)
Hi John! There are definitely a few bugs in this version, we only had about 20 hours to make the game. Also we didn't finish as much content as we wanted to, since my other programmer and I were finishing the core game until about 2 hours before the deadline of the GMTK game jam. Our intention is that every item is a weapon, so we'll be making more types of weapons and more interesting effects in the future :)
why cant I use tomahawks as a weapon? also pls implement a mute function. no offense. also cant move in battle? feel like this could be a great Steam game in the future, if it were fleshed out more. movement in battle, maybe perhaps let us use anything for battle that we create? so like Dirt, itll do very little damage but it could be funny.
and do you guys perhaps have a twitter/discord, so we can keep in touch with updates?
Yeah I can use a log, lightning or a magnet as a weapon but not a storm, lava, fire sword or lightning sword? Also I got a snowcone which is neat but does that serve any purpose? Feels like a waste of time when the goal is to get weapons and you get a clay urn and a snowcone.
Hi lazyskull! Your feedback is all appreciated. This is the very first version of the game, and we only had 20 hours to get this one out the door so there's lots of missing content. Our intention is that everything can be used as a weapon, you'll be able to take 3 or 4 weapons into each fight, and you'll be able to control volume (of course).
You've got any recorded gameplay? I'm not sure if it is running way to slow on my device (Redmi Note 7) or is just like that. Also, I can't seem to get the inventory arrows working.
The rest is nice, but I can't continue and see what I can create due to the inventory problem
I'm sorry to hear that! For the inventory arrows you can try dragging up and down wherever the menu's empty (that may be hard to do on mobile). Alternatively, if you're on PC, you can use the mouse scroll wheel.
We'll be looking into getting recordings and screenshots ASAP to help anyone else with bugs!
Hi! One of the devs here. I noticed that the game ran pretty slow on my phone as well (Samsung note 5). We'll definitely have to do some optimization to get the game running faster, sorry about that! As the for the inventory arrows, I never actually hooked them up so they don't work... But you can scroll the box by placing an item on the crafting board and swiping on that spot (haha). We'll get this all fixed soon!

What is your other kraft game called
clay is the part im having trouble with, is it just from enimies or what?
Clay is Sand + Water, I believe.
how do you make a crucible?
Clay + Stone works! There are a few different ways as well
in the screen says my favorite iten is a fire botle, but i never used it
what the anvil button does and why i cant use it
Hi again,
The anvil is the "forge" item. You can get it by crafting a crucible with coal. It's what we call a permanent item - once you make the forge, you can use it as many times as you want for the rest of your run. It's used with metals to make swords and other items like that.
This game is more complex the i though
I ´played the game in the erlier days and now i see how awsome it is
Thanks so much for your feedback! It really helps to hear that people enjoy the game :)

what is the book in crafting for
Hi there,
You can drag and drop items on top of the book to get more information about them. The functionality isn't finished in this version, and we're making a tutorial for the crafting screen in the next update.
- Dpodz
i hate that you cant move
But it's fun
edit: how to craft a sword, i have tried mostly everything and cant figure it out
edit 2: this game really needs a recipe book that shows you the recipes that you already have
Yeah, the whole not moving thing is still a design choice that we're on the fence about. I think the game would feel better if you were able to use 3-4 weapons per round, that way you have a variety of movement options, but we might eventually just go with straight up proper arrow key movement.

Is there a reason I can't use a weapon like a lightning or fire spear and just a regular spear? Thanks!

This store page is so cuteee! I wanna play the game but I have to wait. >.<
Thank you!! Cute plants are my jive. We'll also be updating and ironing bugs out when we're not dead from crunch : )
