If ye are wondering about the star I only have one comment: A wizard did it

yikes

this is really challenging

Pretty neat arcade game! For the most part, I had a pretty good experience with this: the graphics are neat, and the gameplay is quite addictive and strategic in how there are so many obstacles and hazards to contend with as you build higher and higher.

It definitely had some rough edges that got in the way of the fun, however, such as the incredibly awkward targeting you need to do with the hammer, which might be one of the most un-fun and ass-backwards design decisions I've encountered. Also I was a bit disappointed with how short it was: was really hoping that it would have more features, like maybe an endless mode, as well as at least having a high score leaderboard that tracks the fastest times for getting up to the 100m goal.

All in all, I think it was a pretty good game jam result: while it is rough and a little unsatisfying, I think the core design is fun and worthy of expansion!

I beat the whole game without realizing I could change the target position. It was like hard mode
