About

OrbitForgeAtelier

Features
Read full description

Orbit Forge Atelier is an offline single-player forging game where every shift is a 60-second race against the clock. You take orders from cosmic clients — Moon Guard, Orbit Courier, Forge Deity, the Wyrm Queen — for weapons like Iron Comet Blade, Galaxy Captain Sabre, Stardust War Lance, and Omega Dragon Greatsword. Each order has a fixed material count, a heat target, a quench target, a tolerance, and a coin reward. Load the right ore, then start the forge. The forge runs in four phases. In Heat, a marker slides across a gauge — stop it inside the pulsing yellow window that matches the order's heat target. In Hammer, a 3-second strike window opens; tap to land the blow. In Quench, the marker moves 1.25x faster; catch it again at the right moment. In Ready, the weapon auto-delivers and the next order loads. A single tap decides each phase, so every second of the 60-second day matters. Features: - 50 forge days across 5 difficulty tiers - 4 unique orders per day, deterministically seeded - 60-second level timer, 10-second per-order timer - Heat / Hammer / Quench / Ready forge cycle - 6 materials: Iron, Silver, Stardust, Crystal, Darksteel, Dragonbone - 8 weapon types: Sword, Dagger, Hammer, Axe, Bow, Spear, Sabre, Lance - 50 unique weapons with named cosmic clients - 5-star rating per order based on miss count - Coin rewards from 70 to 630 per order, with streak bonus - Best day, lifetime orders, perfect-strike, and lifetime coin stats - Level grid with 4×4 pages and per-day stars - Music and Sound FX toggles in Settings - Fully offline single-player - No ads, no accounts, no in-app purchases - No tracking, no analytics, no personal data collection
