Fun and funny game. in this style of play I miss a little more feedback from the progression of hits, especially for combos.

Super fun to play!! I don't know if this is on purpose, but there seems to be a small bug that lets the nail rest perfectly in the middle until the hammer hits it. This game looks so nice and has very smooth controls; overall, great game!!!

Developer

Thanks for feedback :)
There is small "perfect" area. If you hit it right, the nail stand still ) Was it hard to you to get there?

Oh, okay!! Yes I like the difficulty to get it perfect, so that is a good feature! Just wondering if that was on purpose or not, but now I know, so thank you!

Cool concept, and I really liked the art style. Oddly, to me, the rusty nails were the easier ones to get in the middle (I realized there is a way to align the nail perfectly but I couldn't understand how it got there so I'd always switch directions trying to make it closer to the green area when the hammer was about to hit). I'd also recommend smoothly speeding up the hammer time, so it makes the gameplay more difficult as time goes on, and it could make it even more challenging to master the game. But, for really, I really enjoyed this game, great job, it's really fun to play

Cool idea! It felt like an actual nail and was satisfying to see get hammered in.

Not bad. The game and graphics is super polished, and the setting is creative. But the gameplay in itself is just a colored bar, abd does not quite reflect that. Still, cool and fun little game!
