## What is Nail That Coin?

Nail That Coin (Brazilian "Preguinho") is a game that takes us back to that time in the 70's or 80's when we had very little, almost no technology and yet we were able to find fun. Anything we had lying around was enough to build something that would allow us to play with friends.

With an old wooden board, several nails and some sticks, we could create a field. Add to that a coin and we had a finger soccer game to play with friends. Then it was a matter of setting up a championship table and inviting the neighborhood to play in the contest. It was a fun time, even before video games.

Nail that Coin aims to bring back that joy, it simulates that iconic game from the past and will grant hours of fun to the entire family and friends, in a very competitive game.

There's no age limit in this nostalgic game, it's all about physics and ability.

Nail that Coin includes:
- Single and two player modes in the same device
- Shootout mode: penalty style play, with the coin is placed in increasing difficult positions
- Head to head inverts the camera for player two so he can sit in front without having to rotate the device
- Board customization:
- 23 wooden and plastic boards of different materials and colors
- 8 pin types (nails and plastic pins)
- 3 different pin formations
- 10 different coins to play with, old coins to complement the nostalgic feeling

### 5/5 — Fun game!

*2025-06-08*

Love the game, I have one problem though, I tried to purchase the extra boards, everything went ok until the end when I got an unknown error message, and the boards were not unlocked, I got my money back so that’s ok but I would really like to buy the boards, if you can fix that I would be really happy.  Thanks

**Developer response:** I love that you’re enjoying the game and I’m very sorry you had that experience with purchasing, and glad you got your money back. I didn’t have any reports of something like that before.
But it’s been quite sometime since I last updated this game, I hope to release an updated version in the future, when I can get my hands on it, it will add several new features and I will update and improve purchasing, as well, to the new standards.
Thank you very much! Hope you can still enjoy it.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly fun and challenging

*2022-05-08*

The higher level AI opponents are smart competitors. Love the variety of boards and pins. Wish the board’s view could be moved before taking shots.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much! I was working on enabling camera rotation, but it’s not quite ready yet, I hope to deliver an update in a few weeks.

### 5/5 — Adorei!

*2021-01-20*

O jogo é lindo, bem divertido, lembra a saudade dos tempos em que construíamos os nossos jogos!

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado!

### 4/5 — I am excited this is here!

*2020-05-24*

I used to play WoodBall on Android long ago and missed it when switching to iPhone! This brings it back!

Five stars if you were able to move your camera angle up, down, left, and right with your finger. To shoot, press on the coin and the further you pull back would be how hard you shoot (like a pinball machine)

Being able to shuffle nails per match or create custom layouts would be a cherry on top! As it stands right now, if any shot lands in the middle it’s basically a goal, so you’re spending most of your time playing the edges, when you could have custom layouts that make the gameplay change 👍🏻🤘🏼

That would all make this perfect, but this is a great start!! Keep it up, I’m tuned in!! Can’t wait for multiplayer!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review, and thank you very much for the suggestions, I’ll add them to the list.
Unfortunately, due to the current world crisis, I don’t have much time to work right now, so it may take quite a while to release a more complete version, but it will happen!

### 5/5 — Diversão garantida!

*2015-10-25*

Muito legal, nostalgia pura. Tem a regra de ouro dos jogos: é fácil de aprender, mas difícil de virar um mestre. Funciona muito bem no iPad.
