Love the inspiration from "There Is No Game." Also I have developed a new hatred for hammers now. (I spent 20 minutes trying to beat that damn hammer game)
Overall it was a super game to play, but I did end up glitching hammerman out of the screen accidentally when I was moving the hammer game window around. I got the hammerman out of the hammer game window and got him out of the desktop and then moved the hammer game window but it collided with the hammerman while he was outside the desktop and then he disappeared.

Glad you enjoyed, thanks so much for playing!
Yeah HammerMan is definitely a buggy little guy at the moment. I ended up implementing that part of the game pretty late in development and I think it shows 😂 In the post-jam version I'll be working on fixing him (and the rest of the desktop) a lot more and tightening up the environment interactions. I'll also be improving the actual HammerMan.exe game since the controls could definitely be improved. Should make it a bit more fun and less frustrating to play.
If anyone else has trouble with HammerMan glitching off the screen: Closing the HammerMan.exe window and reopening it should reset him, although you'll have to play through his game again to get him back outside of the game window sorry ;)
Also, I mentioned this in another comment reply, but really bizarrely, I've never actually played "There is No Game". I looked it up after they mentioned it and I definitely recognised it as a game that I must have watched a letsplay of back in the day. It's 100% a core piece of inspiration for my game, but the inspiration seems to have occurred entirely within my subconscious 😂 I'm definitely going to be playing it over Christmas though :)
