How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
You play as a nail file who is trying to reach the hand. I took not what you expect as a file in the tool sense instead of a file on a computer or file cabinet.

Super fun and unique! The levels have a really good difficulty curve and the gameplay is addictive. The controls are super simple but there's a lot you can do with those controls, and it's satisfying to learn new tricks.
you can do sick flips in this game, and I found some sweet speedrunning strats.
sound design is awesome, lots of accessibility options and settings.
10/10 would nail again
I'm happy to see someone go with this interpretation for "File". The controls were different and fun and I especially loved the particles and sound effect when sliding on the ground. Good job!
Yeah, this interpretation is unique. I'm from Ukraine so in my native language I immediately thought about office or computer files and workeded around that. I should look for more translation options :D
I am happy that you guys appreciate my interpretation of 'file'! I do manual labor as a full time job so when I saw the word file my mind went immediately to tools and the like. Thank you for playing!
This is so awesome!! Hilarious :D
All the times I heard the file go "Oh nooo" made me feel so bad for the lil guy XD
The Nail Files has interesting but fitting music, not hard but little challenging way of moving, and many levels + even level selector. It was noted that the red parts in the level are not to harm the player, yet I felt little alarmed everytime because of the color, BUT I can see why it was used since red and blue both were the main colors used in this game. The character design of player was little creepy but I felt sympathy for the nail file, who was just trying to get back to the hand.
