47 minutes at time of writing. This game makes exercise fun! I spent almost my entire 47 minutes in one go, and I came out of it with my face and armpits sweaty. Once you get good at the game, you have to move faster and faster. I would have to put 4 blocks in the fire at once, and pound them one at a time on the anvil. This doesn't seem like it would be very tiring, but it was after half an hour.
It's like the pacer test. If you enjoyed that or blacksmithing, buy this game!

In my currently short amount of time with the game I've had lots of fun struggling to satisfy the old man who wants 3 axes and a shield in 30 seconds.
Its simple, cheap and does what it wants perfectly. Recommendation from me.

i enjoyed the game tremendously. however, the fact that you lose money when someone leaves, is incredibly frustrating. the fact that you loose money when you've made half of someones order, and they walk away with the part you made, is even more annoying. please either have them give a little money, or return the items. i hope this is helpful to the developers. the game you made is a lot of fun, and an enjoyable challenge.

Hello,
I would like to say that I truly enjoyed this game. The game had a good tutorial that showed/told you what you needed to do to make the different weapons and afterwards sends you on your way. While the game is simple to learn it adds difficulty as the volume of customers increases and the time to make the required items decreases causing you to move and prioritize at a much faster pace. All this combined can really make you break into a sweat. Overall I would completely recommend this game. Here's hoping for more Items!! :):)

Has a chance to be really fun but needs some work, it still has quite the number of bugs. I'd pick it up if you like these types of "Public Service" games because it's currently not bad, and hopefully the dev adds more to it to make it better.

I really enjoyed this game on HTC vive and valve index, but unfortunately it doesn't work on Oculus at all. Which is a shame.
Edit:
It's on quest 2 now, and I enjoy it a lot. There are still some bugs though, like how you have to switch hands to hammer because it doesn't work sometimes in your right hand, which can be annoying.

I have only played this game for a short period of time, and for five dollars, it was definitely more than worth it.
I only had a few problems with the game, on top of it being very exhausting to play.
-Cons-
The games large space requirement was a tight squeeze for my small room, making me spend about 10 - 15 minutes trying to get the guardian just right.
Sometime the AI ask for almost impossible requests unless you have already made the item and have it lying around.
AI do not really have any voices, would be nice to hear some banter or some small talk. (not a problem, more of a recommendation).
-Pros-
Great for exercise.
Really nice art style.
Great atmosphere.
Tutorial was short and extremely thorough.
Runs can last for a pretty long time.
Literally five dollars.
No In-Game Purchases.
A re-skin for each item after making 30 of each, as well as a golden hammer and anvil.
-Conclusion-
I would 100% recommend this game to a friend, and definitely worth the five dollars. After the almost hour and a half playing it, the cons listed were the only issues I found. Hopefully this game gets the recognition it deserves.

Well hey, doesn’t work on quest... wait
Yes it does.
You just need to spend the little extra money on a software named Riftcat. A Third Party software that allows you to play from your computer, completely wireless. All you need is a strong internet connection, and some spare money. It’s better than spending $700+ on a new headset than just using Riftcat
YOU WILL SPAWN IN THE GROUND
to fix this problem, I recommend getting a piece of scotch tape or just being fast and putting your headset on the ground and resetting your view to make it so that is ground level. Alternatively you can just lay on the ground flat and reset your view
THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION TO LINK
don’t bother trying to do this with link, it will not work.

I sadly own the Oculus Rift S not the HTC Vive, so I can not play this game but I can tell it would be a game I'd spend many hours in.
please add support for the Rift soon!
