Mintmark

Take charge of a mountain-city royal mint and restore the marks of eight guilds, one finished coin at a time. Drag a silver die across a gold coin blank with one finger and align it with the engraved target slot. A live relief projection, protective rim, and broken hazard outline show what the strike will do before you commit. Press the die when the placement is ready. Each playable stage allows one committed hammer strike, and the lifted die reveals the actual impression, rim condition, and finished relief directly on the same coin. Metallic sweep light, a certification stamp, and workshop sound make the result immediate and satisfying.

The opening commission teaches through three playable steps: move the glowing die, watch the broken outer ring close into a safe shield, and press the single highlighted Press control. The guide is designed so the coin blank, die, target, and intended movement remain understandable in a still frame, while the first drag happens inside real play. Reduced Motion removes sustained pulses, sweep movement, and strong hit-stop while preserving die height, outlines, static relief, damage symbols, and the final certified state.

The launch build contains exactly eight authored commissions. Centered Crest introduces translation and centering. Raised Collar makes rim clearance part of every decision. Inlay Window adds enamel areas that cannot be struck. Split Seal locks two half-dies in sequence while protecting their seam. Oval Cameo introduces die rotation. Double Register aligns a final strike with a pre-existing shallow impression. Twin Blank links two blanks under one beam and asks for balanced shared pressure in its final strike. Jubilee Proof is a three-stage examination of the center crest, outer arms, and edge legend, carrying earlier registration quality into the final review. These are distinct rule combinations, not one puzzle with a different emblem, color, tolerance, or random seed.

Successful stages award run-local Tool Chits and open a workshop tool choice. Every offer pairs an advantage with a drawback that changes later positioning, rotation, pressure, footprint, registration, or rim decisions. Completing a commission awards its persistent Commission Stamp. Alignment error, pressure uniformity, and clean rim clearance contribute to Master Proof goals and best records. Qualified coins, stamps, proofs, and complete stage records are stored in the Coin Cabinet. When a strike fails, the Strike Report preserves a rubbing-style comparison between the target and actual mark, identifies the main error, and gives a correction direction before a fresh-blank retry. Permanent results already earned are not removed by failure.

Mintmark uses a fixed portrait 2.5D presentation. Precise 2D target outlines, state patterns, and interface feedback are combined with 3D coin blanks, dies, press movement, relief depth, shadows, and metallic lighting. It is a readable precision puzzle, not a claim of real metal deformation, a freely controlled camera, infinite or randomly generated levels, network trading, or multiplayer play.

Advertising is optional and never substitutes for play. Rewarded ads may provide one extra practice blank, redraw a set of tool offers, or double the Tool Chits from the current result. Low-frequency interstitial requests are limited to suitable returns from non-gameplay screens. Ads cannot align the die, change a rating, save a coin, award a Commission Stamp or Master Proof, or unlock a commission. If an ad is unavailable, the core flow continues. This first release ships eight playable commissions and eight obtainable finished coins. The Coin Cabinet has thirty-two display slots for a long-term collection route; it does not mean that thirty-two commissions or thirty-two collectible coins are included in this build.
