Fun game! I think having a second level where there's two hammers could be fun and challenging!

Fun little arcade game with good presentation, nice job! Controls are easy to learn and the animations look pretty polished, too.

You created a good foundation for the full game, that's for sure!

I think based on suggestions from others, I might make this into a rhythm game!

Took a second to understand what was happening, Otherwise good game!

It really feels like finished game! I like it. Only update I can think off, maybe add a few more holes to hide in but then to balance it, the game would speed up as you go

The game graphics are amazing the game is polished and fun to play, the music and sounds fit the game and even if it is simple it was a lot of fun to play. Idk if its already done but you should add dificueltie as the game progrsses, something that I didnt noticed. Overall the game is reeally worked congrats! Edit: I got 3000 points :D

Nice game, I love the vibrant colors!

Awesome little game!  It's simple, but the reactive controls make it feel great to get better at, and the graphics are quite charming  :)  I got exactly 1000 points on my best run!

Pretty fun game, very polished, it feels really satisfactory when you dodge a punch!

Submitted(+1)

This was really fun, and harder than I expected---I could only get about 800 points. It's very addictive. Like someone else pointed out, it's quite hard to see when the hole you're under is targeted, which got me a few times. The art is really nice and definitely adds to the game. I agree that this could be made into a great rhythm game; it seems well-suited to that. Nice work!

I hope there was a co-op mode :D

Sound, idea - great. Well done!

A friend of mine told me it seems like it would be a fun game to play with another beside you! Might make that an option one day hahahaha
Thank you for your feedback!

Great game love graphics and simple buss sound go together with other sounds.
A bit laggy, but overall I enjoy it

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! Much appreciated! For the lag, try lowering the resolution in the settings, that has helped some folk :)

Very fun game, simple and great presentation.

Props for making 3D assets with so little time. I really really like the sound design. Adds a lot to the experience. This could almost be a rhythm game. I was kinda changing holes to the beat.

Small nitpick, it's a bit hard to see when the hole you're currently in is about to be targeted. I think the blue and red highlight get in the way of each other. Otherwise fun and surprisingly relaxing.

Developer

Mmm, I see what you mean! It's quite easy to get hit in that scenario! The solution would likely be to make the blue ring start flashing red as well. Thank you for the feedback! It's much appreciated :D

Submitted(+1)

Not a problem. :)

I think I got a score of around 1000 by just switching holes constantly along with the beat, and then quickly running away if I thought my hole was targeted. You unintentionally made a good rhythm game. :D

Developer(+1)

Second comment saying it could work as a rhythm game, sounds like I might be onto a gem here hahahaha

Submitted(+1)

Cool game! I really liked the music theme, it gets you into the right mood 🎧

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you like it! It's the first ever track I have made :D

Really nice work! Especially for a first try!
