The idea is soooooo good, and the mechanics make me want to master it! Unfortunately some of the levels felt over punishing and felt like there was hardly any room for error before the hammer got too big. Giving the player a bit more time or adding more shrinking stations would go along way, but overall absolute genius idea. Incredible work!
The penalty so clever! I love this game!
This mechanic becomes very interesting thanks to the way you choose to utilize it. It really seems to have potential, very well done!
What an awesome idea, fantastic for speedrunning.
It's difficult at first, but once you learn to "vault" it gets incredibly satisfying to fly around :)
Also, I loved the little things like those green banners that help navigating the level and the fact that there are teleporters rather than some spikes or other similar stuff so you're immediately brought back to a "checkpoint" without losing any time/restarting/etc. Just great design allaround.
That amazing!! and I wanna save this game for leaderboard
man! this game is so funny. thank you!
Awesome game, leaderboards are an incredible idea because I beat the tonik guys below me, 10/10
this game is so ridiculously fun. I'm absolutely addicted to the gamefeel and I beat it like four times in one sitting. 10/10 all around.
OHHH MY GOD WE BOTH HAVE SILLY HAMMER GAMES!!! AND A BEN ON YOUR TEAM!!! I LOVE THE EXECUTION AND GAME FEEL OMGGGGG SO COOL!!!!
Silly hammers are the best!!!
Brilliant work! I had a ton of fun trying to beat the leaderboard. The moment feels extremely good. The best game I’ve played on this jam so far. A must-play game for anyone who wants a challenge
Nice art work, hammer feels good👌
Super fun, really cool idea, was not cool with the handling of the hammer, loading up to gain more power i was somehow missing in the onboarding. After all, an amazing game! 28th so far ^^ at least I made it
Really cool concept. The controls where a little hard to understand and get used to at first but that is probably just me. Overall pretty cool!
Greetings from the stream! Thank you for participating!
This is a great game with great mechanics and gameplay. I bet this could be a great speedrun game. So go ahead and expand this game and put it on steam :P
Great art style, music, and great fluid gameplay. Sometimes I missed the grindstones, maybe they could have been more highlighted? The hammer is basically a timer and movement tool in one! Great combo! Keep it up!
This game remember me of the dragon and scaling sword game of a previous game jam. It was really great to make the jump succeded (when it was the case xD). Great job !
I think that without the scale up mechanic of the hammer, this concept could be a unique game, something between Blasphemus and Shovel Knight. It was really satisfying but the urge to run all the time exhaust me a litle, not gonna lie ^^'
But I really liked it!
Absolutely wild game. It is very fleshed out and the hammer is such a fun case of size versus function where as it gets bigger it can be handy in terms of range but also is playing into your upcoming downfall. I had a lot of fun but sadly I did encounter a bug where I would just fall through the map and have to restart. (Though annoying, it did not damper the fun i was having. )
Really fantastic work, using the hammer to launch the player was such a cool choice
Great game for speedrunning! You achieved a realy nice control that feels really great when you learn how to do it well. It took me a while to get used to it but then I reach the 6th highscore hehehe. Nice job!
Controls are so good! I can really “feel” the weight of the hammer, and the hammer-jump mechanic is brilliant! Great job!
Such a pain to move, yet I love it anyways x)
The ideas are really cool and speedrunning could be very fun here!
