@neowhoru Yeah there was supposed to be a lot more in the middle, There was a squeaky hammer, and a foam finger, and a frying pan, a brick, all kinds of stuff. So it was supposed to ramp up a bit more but balance and game jam as usual XD
Well, i see that you took the reference from "Kick The Buddy", BUT isnt a bad thing, i still found this game really fun, wish there were more weapons to destroy, but still very good
@smerdyaisaurus Yeah there was supposed to be a bunch more, I had to cut like at least half if not more for time. I don't think I actually know "Kick the Buddy" hahaha I looked it up and it seems like a sequel or spiritual successor to "Interactive Buddy" an old flash game, I played that DECADES ago on Newgrounds haha! That was like middle school or high school for me haha. In fact I plan to publish the web version to Newgrounds eventually once there's more content.
But yeah very much in that sort of vein, after the jam is over I will have an update with more stuff at the least. I mentioned earlier but there's at least a squeaky hammer, and a foam finger, a frying pan, and a brick to add. I also want to add the sun, maybe a bat, and a chainsaw.

fun idea! :) thanks for sharing
@dblazer63 Blast that phone! Blast it to bits!
I think you found a really good idea also really suitable with the concept. I just didn't get the 2nd and 3rd ways to destroy the phone cause first one was easier and effective more.
Very fun
A missile aimed at a phone that still has Snake on the screen is a pretty good summary of the idea haha. Going from punching it to military hardware fits the old indestructible-phone joke well. The extra tools you mentioned in the comments sound like they'd make that escalation even funnier.
If you have a moment, I'd appreciate a rating on my latest game, [Robot Workshop](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/60/trashfight).
@yarakdemir Yeah I noticed that haha, there was like scalar values in there to help make them more effective but I didn't have time to iron out the values so like the grab did more damage/money than the fist and so on. I also think there's a bug with how the fist works that makes it more effective than it should be but yeah no time for a balance pass due to jam constraints.
@nikorych Thank you for playing!
@youpz Yeah exactly haha, that was the idea, I just ran out of time so we ended with what we got. And yeah I'll check it out for sure! That's usually how I find games to play and rate hahaha
That's a yes from me! I couldn't find much gameplay beyond the gratuitous destruction of my old Nokia, but what a primal pleasure it is to throw anything and everything at that old phone. The execution is flawless, and the effects perfectly suit the main objective. I took a guilty pleasure in destroying it. Thanks for letting me blow off some steam, and for your comment on my own project. I wish you all the best! ++
@geckoo1337 Thanks for playing! I wanted to get more variety in the content in but it didn't end up making it into the game, so I totally get that! The comments have been pushing me to actually continue on it and finish the rest of the planned items that didn't make it, so there's a post jam version planned for SURE!
I love the simplicity of this one. "Oh... A rock won't do it? I got something for you... 😏" then you get the grenade.
