About the Game

IS SOMEONE THERE?

Alnico Smithery is a hand drawn physics based forging simulator. Mine for ore, smelt ingots, discover alloys, forge tools, and rebuild the smithery your grandfather left behind.

PROVE YOUR METTLE, FORGE THAT METAL

Alnico features 12 base metals to mine and smelt, and over 100 named alloys to discover, some real, some fantastical. Transform your ingots into valuable tools and items, with over 40 different crafting recipes to learn. Each alloy has a unique composition and set of properties, keep them in mind to make the best use of your metal.

WORKING HARD OR HARDLY WORKING?

Alnico features physics based mechanics: turn cranks, pull levers, pump bellows, and more. Each tool and object can be clicked and dragged around, stacked, thrown, it’s up to you. Keep your forge neat and tidy, or embrace the chaos and pile your junk wherever it lands.

NOWHERE TO GO BUT UP

Your smithery starts with everything you need to succeed, but there’s plenty of room to grow. Sell your handicrafts and purchase new tools, stations, and upgrades to further improve your forge. As you progress, you’ll find you’re able to find and create even more than you could before.
