Very cute game! I love the 30 second mode, but do you have any interest in adding a mode that lets you play until you run out of lives? The hammers seem to pick up speed as the time runs down, and so far the timer kills me every round! Thanks so much!
This is a good idea! I had been thinking about adding options for different modes like this, but it requires making a few additional adjustments to accommodate the menu and scoring, etc. I’ll definitely test it out and see if I can add it in the next update.
