Now this is an awesome combination with cool interactions! Great work. Looks nice too.
However, I personally feel it is a bit "slow", and I had a hard time getting used to the swinging mechanic.
Yeah I have to agree, the game is tought to play, but it is quite fun and original! Great idea and well executed!
So, there I was, casually enjoying this cool building game where you can swing on nails and build a tower, and then BOOM, there's ANOTHER game where you have to help a giant robot fight a giant lizard. Both games were lots of fun to play, even though I could never keep my job.
Great art, great music, and an original idea. Well done Dr. Squirtz!
Wow, that is really awesome game! Please add web version at future!
Will do, coming next week!
Such a unique and polished game! I really like this. The bendy hammer mechanic and watching the fight rage in the background were probably my favorite things. The art also is very nicely polished, both in-game and in your cover art.
I really appreciate the freedom of thought and creativity put into this game. Well done!
A very unusual concept of the game. But cool and atmospheric. Nails are very fun to hammer.
Really cool art and the hammering felt really satisfying! The monster/robot appearing startled the heck out of me but it soon became clear what I had to do. Good job! :D
Amazing! Great concept! Controls where a little tough to master but other then that it was great :D
Whoa, this was a really ambitious game jam game! Really creative take on the theme. I wish I wasn't so bad at playing it, lol. Good job!
Absolutely loved it! Really creative use of the theme, well executed (but you're right its a touch hard :P )
That means a lot, thank you!
high stress gameplay i came here for! probably the most creative interpretation of the theme that i've seen. it felt like an old arcade game but with spectacular art. seriously incredible. i agree that the controls were a little wonky but honestly i didn't care; when the battle music started i was super jazzed. the hammer hitting the nail sound was also super satisfying. I loved feeling like if Bob the Builder became a Power Ranger 5 stars!
Glad you liked it so much, I appreciate it!
