Look out, the castle is under attack! If only we'd built a giant hammer at the front gate. Oh wait, we did. It's HAMMER TIME! Your mission: fend off an onslaught of angry boulders with well-timed swings of your hammer. The longer you survive, the higher your score. It sounds simple, but when the action heats up and the boulders are rolling in thick and fast, one wrong swing of your hammer can mean the difference between glory and destruction. You can also unlock dozens of different hammers to help you in your quest for leaderboard domination, from the mighty Mjölnir, hammer of the Gods, to... a prosthetic leg (no it's not technically a hammer, but it gets the job done.) Take a swing at the addictive arcade action of HAMMER TIME!

Collect coins and try to stay alive as long as possible in this fast-paced arcade game! Your mission is simple: Collect all the Coins in the level to win. But it's not as easy as it sounds! All those spiky enemies are coming your way and you have only one life! They touch you and it's game over. But wait, you can find some help in the maze, too! Get the Magnet power-up to speed up Coin collection and pick up a Shield to get some invulnerability time. And if you prefer a more aggressive approach, get that Shield and crush right into the enemies! Pro tip: Collect a total of 1 million Coins and get the shiny golden Crown :)

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Coin Maze at none against Hammer Time!'s 10. Hammer Time!'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 29 months) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
