idea  is god

Cool idea for the game, but a little inconvenient control.

Great idea, but the control of the hammer just doesn't feel good. Maybe if instead of - or in addition to - LMB acceleration, the hammer rotated towards the normal vector of the arch you're moving it along.

EDIT: grammar.

gameplay is very difficult

I love the idea, but the implementation feels a little lacking. Despite itself, the hammer feels like it has no weight to it and carries very little momentum. Just trying to swing it around was pretty challenging, so I resorted to just getting the head above my cursor and letting it fall down onto objects and enemies. I think this game can really get somewhere with some extra polish though, keep at it!
