Love it. Really addicting.

Managed to get this after a few minutes messing about. chrome_2021-04-25_16-51-02.png

Really fun. Feels like a complete product -- similar to all of those piano tiles mobile games, but more thought out.

Nice game for 48 hours!

Graphicly this is very solid, gameplay wise its very snappy which is good, though loosing is a bit abrupt.

somestufz 2021-04-26 05:45

Nice Graphics, they look great.

Good job! I agree with Ayreck it definitely is addicting! Its so simple but well executed!

owca 2021-04-26 07:05

Thanks guys for all the comments. This is my first game jam ever, so I wanted to keep the core mechanics simple and polish the game as much I could.

@jamr I played this game for more than a "few minutes" and I wasn't even close to your highscore :P

Really nice game! :smile: So much done with so little :stuck_out_tongue: Couple the nail layout with some music sheet and tempo and you would play some serious tunes as long as you would keep the tempo :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

This game is easy to play and the 3d graphics are amazing, it feels great!

Good game! The hammer has a nice snap to it

prodigalson 2021-04-27 04:45

Very, very cool. I kept trying to find a rhythm to see if I could hear a song like "hammer time" but, if that is part of the game, I missed it. Lol I live how simple yet engaging and fun this idea and its execution is. I really do wish there was music accompanied with each hit to emphasize the hit and, who knows, maybe a creative player could play a song but going fast, slow, and/or stopping at sections. Great work!

This game made me turn my keyboard sideways)) Simple and yet very fun!

gastoon 2021-04-27 10:26

I would really love your game if I had some skill ! Great job !

jasuse 2021-04-27 15:22

Good job! Feels like a complete and polished game. However, I would change(or add another one as option) layout to be arrow up/down not left/right as it is kinda frustrating at first time.

judgeclark 2021-04-27 18:08

Well this is pretty addictive :) erm ... my score score.jpg

owca 2021-04-27 18:25

@judgeclark haha :D that's why I didn't use the default font (anti-cheat system :wink: )

@jasuse thanks, actually I did left/right arrows on purpose so it's not that easy. Sorry I was frustrating to you. You can also use A/D key or even A and right arrow if you prefer using both hands.

@runuchok that's cheating :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

anaferus 2021-04-27 21:19

14695! Addictive game! Thank you for it =) Of course, I wanted it to happen with some beat (drum and bass or something similar)

edur 2021-04-29 16:17

Its simple but addictive. Goes well with the theme. I think if you add different hammers to unlock, more backgrounds and music it could be a great mobile game. :cool:

eharp 2021-04-30 00:41

Looks really nice and fun simple gameplay. I didn't understand how combos worked, seemed like they would randomly pop up then disappear.

owca 2021-04-30 07:03

@eharp Thanks for your feedback! You're right. I didn't explain it anywhere. The combo starts (and continues) when you hit a nail before cartain amount of time passes from the previous hit. I think I set it to 300ms. So if you hit 1 nail per 300ms (or faster) then you build up the combo meter. After exceeding this 300ms time the combo counter resets.

Love this game! It's really addictive and relaxing. And the art and sound is very polished. I'm trying to hit the nails in a rhythm as if I'm beating a drum! : D

jacobrutter 2021-04-30 20:02

Really enjoyed this game, the sounds were so satisfying, especially the large nails. The graphics are well polished for a jam. You've created a simple game that is fun and has a great flow to it. Well done all around.

harmadillo 2021-04-30 20:05

Nice game. Good graphics and audio.

slowfrog-again 2021-04-30 20:10

RAaaaaaaahhh!!! TAKE THAT, NAILS!!!!

Not so sure about the *relaxing* aspect, but definitely addictive. May I guess that you voted for the "You have one tool" theme? :smile:

slowfrog-again 2021-04-30 21:10

I CAN'T STOP HITTING!

@slowfrog-again Holy sh*t! Nice score! My record is only ~ 105k.

Actually I didn't vote for anything, and I didn't have any idea for a game until the theme was announced. But you're right that this game would fit perfectly for "You have one tool" :smile:

I tried to look at the theme from different perspectives. The obvious one is word "Deeper" (because nails go deeper when you hit them). The less obvious interpretation is that "Deeper and deeper" phrase contains a *repetition*. So the game is about a *repetitive* action.
