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!
