I have something to say jaja! I think it’s great. The animations and sound effects are perfect. Great job! xD

The animations are really great!

Really charming entry! Love the visual direction and the retro vibes, fits the theme like a glove. Solid work for a jam, left full ratings! Best of luck!

I really like the animations on the player, they feel really nice.

The games nice and simple without being too simple, I like the gameplay too

The one feedback I'd have is some way to reset the level if you mess up (maybe there is one I missed?) cuz that was the only thing that sometimes got frustrating in the game for me. I'd might misclick on the first nail and I really didn't like that (even if it was not too bad a mess up)

I left full reviews good luck!

I like the animations, but the hitboxes is weird, i literally need to pixelhunt that shi

@thanatosisanoob thanks! that's a great note. I added a pause menu where you can restart from there for that reason... but in testing it on browser, it's a bit clunky i realize. 🀦 (Since it uses the Esc key, that also takes you out of fullscreen). You can also use B button on a controller... but that's also not easy. Maybe I should have included it on a hotkey. Or given you the ability to pull out or reset a nail? πŸ€” πŸ˜…

I should have made that way easier. But if you restart the level, it should skip the dialogue and stuff so you can try a better score etc.

@smerdyaisaurus ha! yeah...... I think I skewed the build a tad too hard... 😬 😰 I wanted it to be funny, but it's so finicky. You have to be stupid accurate to get it straight. And have no easy way to tell how close you'll be.

I think the hitboxes are just off slightly on bent nails too 😒

Ralph leaning into that huge hammer in the GIF has a lot of character haha. I like the difference between a quick tap and committing to a heavy swing. A little visual change when a nail is fully down would help make the objective easier to read.

If you have a moment, I'd appreciate a rating on my latest game, [Robot Workshop](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/60/trashfight).

Beautiful graphics and hilarious animations! I absolutely loved it. I may have hammered in WAY fewer nails than I would've liked, but every single miss made me laugh hahaha! Had a great time playing this. Really fun game, amazing job!

This is so addictive! I can really feel like I’m hammering nails!

The animation and movement are pretty nice, and the idea is simple, fits LD scope and plays quite nice. The only problem, which was already mentioned, is the hitboxes. I couldn't really tell if I'm going to consistently hit the nail or not, and I couldn't "fix" the ones that bent. I also didn't fully get if holding the mouse button actually helps or only allows to reduce hammer taps.

My score, and that really is the best I could do: [link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gVLxSTq07HRvxy6LAOS7YJ-nLfBYAq5a/view?usp=sharing)

Either way, the entry fits the theme and I enjoyed playing it. Thanks and congrats!

Nice art and animation! Get A+ is a little tricky, but overall game looks great!

ivankapcov 2026-10-23 20:12 ♥ 1

I played it for a bit, but my perfectionist streak just wouldn't let me get past it. I basically got stuck on Level 2 because I didn't realize the game had a double jump and couldn't get where I needed to go. I had my girlfriend give it a try; she figured out the double jump, and I watched as she played on.

scrapmetal 2026-10-23 21:21 ♥ 1

Ha! Thanks @ivankapcov ! I should adjust the controls above to mention that 😬 πŸ˜…

I also like to include the controls in-game somehow... but didn't do it this time 🀦

That's great feedback! Thanks!

I thought i was good at hammering nails, or not has bad, the best i got was a B one time, the rest i got Ds or F-s. -J

The hammer thud is fantastic! How did you make that? I also like the air sucking before the whack.

transkuja 2026-10-24 14:54 ♥ 0

Can't say I nailed it (I suck at it xD). Great job!

boxofcuriosity 2026-10-24 17:25 ♥ 0

Quite difficult to get the hammer centered (and you know this) but it's kind of funny in a frustrating kind of way πŸ˜† couldn't get a hang of it until the end. I even gave the last level a second try and did even worse! I did like when the level required me to jump and hammer at the same time.

The animations are very satisfying, the jumps, swings and swooshes feel good.

I like the art and sound effects. Hammering the nails is satisfying! Hope we all can keep hammering nails and not get replaced by Chad Gee Pee Tee 🀣

Whooaaa?! This is a gem! So many *subtle* messages. Oh man... all this "nailing a nail" is .. not that easy suggestion XD (being too hard implies funny things actually - like the inability of programmers to retain a job "that should have been retainable" :/ ). Although this is bitter-funny, especially when it hits one (not me but friends)! :S And then the "being replaced by the robots" messages hahaha and .. the *depressed* elephant... you got something VERY special here XD πŸ˜„

**This was hilarious due to the fact it's so VERY true**... 5/5 on humour from me, oh boy..

Such a relevant game...

And you have beautiful professional level pixel art / animations !! Damn I only wish I could drew like this myself haha! Cheers and enjoy the jam! One of the most cohesive entries here!

Maybe the only feedback is that.. I wished to smash the robots. Also the crates haha. That all would have been cool.
