About this game Read the full description

Unique Crafting Mechanics: Build, upgrade, and optimize your crafting stations to maximize efficiency. From simple woodwork to complex metal forging, everything is created by hand, one piece at a time.

High-Stakes Survival: Fail to meet your daily emerald quota, and it's game over! Each day the quota will increase, so you need to craft more complex items to keep up.

Resource Management: Raw materials drop from above, leaving you to sort through the chaos and figure out the most profitable crafting combinations. Think fast and make every resource count.

Dynamic Crafting Recipes: Discover and unlock new crafting paths as you progress—wood, stone, iron, and beyond. Invest wisely in your crafting skills to survive the ever-increasing demands.

Roguelike Progression: Each run is unique, with permanent upgrades that carry over. Spend earned diamonds on essential bonuses like starting with a furnace or access to better materials from the start.

Real-Time Manual Smelting: Control your smelter by feeding it fuel to manage the heat. Too cold, and nothing cooks—too hot, and you risk wasting precious resources. Everything is done in real-time and you can't look away for a second!

Intense Pressure: With time ticking and a looming deadline, every second counts. Boost machines manually or risk falling behind—each decision can mean survival or doom.

Hectic, Physics-Based Chaos: Toss resources, scramble to build new stations, and handle crafting in a confined space while trying to keep up with increasingly complex recipes. Every action has real-time consequences.

Steven's Demands Increase: Steven will ask for more Gems each time he visits. Stay ahead of his greed by crafting high-value items and trading up to survive.
