Fun concept, with a solid presentation to boot. I wish it didn't take so long to eat the fruits, but it was still fun to try and intentionally mislead the hammer.
Yo. I made a top 10 video of the best games I played from the jam.
(Spoiler alert, this game is in it)
Check it out!

Thank you so much for the shout out! Awesome video!
Really nice art, well put together!
I think maybe better indication that you are eating the fruit is in order, it took me some time to realize I needed to get the healthbar down by repeatedly popping up
Very high quality! If Cuphead had an arcade game this would be it! It took me a while to learn how to play but after reading the description I quickly learned! GG!
If you have time could you rate my game?
Really well made game! Great graphics and really nice idea! I apreciate whackmole games since I made a mini game once about them :). Nice and lovely game! Good job!
Really nice! Love the idea. It's well put together - the music, font, character. The table and holes could be better but I get it - you get 48h you put in the most important bits, the characters! The only thing that was bothersome was that the hammer had no real telegraphed movement it felt. I there would be some information about attacks, at least some, like with bosses, but it felt like I just had to kinda go on reflexes which is cool but I'd love to see some mix ups. Very solid entry! I love how clear and concise it is!
Very solid start. I hope you keep working on it or incorporate it as a mini game in a larger project.
The inspiration for the art and music is clear, and well executed.
Great entry!
JUST BRIMMING WITH STYLE! Love the rubberhose stylings of the characters. Great work!
nailed the artstyle very fun little concept
Got random game over?
It has a timer on the uper left corner.
ah
I love your characters!
wonderful presentation and simple but fun gameplay, I like how the camera shifts to show how close you are to getting smashed, the presentation especially has a lot of potential kudos
Very fun and beautiful!
It's amazing! It's a fun game, like Cuphead!
Very simple but fun game with a great presentation! I believe the game could be improved if it were endless and without a time limit, and perhaps the difficulty increasing over time. Otherwise, great job!
The art and presentation is amazing. Really nice!
It looks very good. The presentation is a 10/10. Very nice idea and clever concept. It is something simple, easy to make in under 48 hours, but still enjoyable and well made. Congrats!
Really creative idea! The art and music had a big Cuphead feeling to it.
this was really cool
Caracas, muito bacana o jogo, curti!
