Iron Forge
Iron Forge is a smithing game about heat management. You forge legendary weapons by keeping the hammer's heat where it needs to be, working up through the ranks — level one is a sword, and what follows gets harder to hold. The difficulty tiers change two things that pull against each other: how fast the ball moves and how quickly the metal cools. Easy is a slow ball and slow cooling; Hard is a fast ball and quick cooling, so you have less time to act and less margin when you act late. Move with the arrow keys or touch, pause with P, mute with M. Free in the browser, no download, no signup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What am I managing in Iron Forge?▾
Heat. The hammer heat meter is the resource the whole game runs on, and letting the metal cool costs you.
What do the difficulty tiers change?▾
Ball speed and cooling rate together. Easy is a slow ball with slow cooling; Hard is a fast ball with quick cooling, so both your reaction time and your margin shrink at once.
What do I forge?▾
Weapons in sequence — the first level is a sword, and the ranks continue from there.
How do I control it?▾
Arrow keys or touch to move. P pauses, M mutes.
Why do I keep failing on Hard?▾
Because quick cooling punishes hesitation specifically. On Hard, deciding late is worse than deciding wrong.
Is Iron Forge free?▾
Yes, free in the browser with no download and no signup.
