It’s hammer time! Arcade game connoisseurs, get ready for an addictive tapping experience as you launch into Nail It, The Mascoteer’s freshest title off the press. Take control of a powerful hammer as you set out to successfully hit every nail into the timber as you move past it. Every time you hit a nail, you score a point – miss just one and you start over. It’s about timing, precision and anticipation – plus there are dangers along the way. You’ll come across the odd obstacles here and there, so keep an eye out and make sure you avoid hammering them; otherwise it’s back to square one. Give yourself an advantage by hitting power-ups that are dispersed along the timber. These boosts will make various modifications and upgrades to your hammer in play, giving you even more power, length and range, and making it easier to keep the score moving in the right direction. Meanwhile, you’ll notice stars here and there. Definitely pick these up, as they can be used to buy permanent tool upgrades in the Nail It store, very helpful if you’ve got your sights set on the top of the leaderboard. Try Nail It now for free! NOTE: • This app may require read and write permissions to your storage for score share feature
