About Wallhammer
Wallhammer drops you into a dungeon with a single tool: a heavy hammer. Walls, floor tiles, and enemies all crumble under it, opening secret paths and clearing the way forward. Every screen is a small puzzle wrapped in a brawler — figure out which tile to break first and which enemies to bait into your swing.
The pixel art is dark and chunky, the hammer feels weighty, and the loop of break-attack-advance hits a satisfying middle ground between platformer and arcade beat-em-up. Runs are short but the dungeons branch, so finishing one level rarely feels like the same as finishing the last.
How to play
Move with the arrow keys (or A/D) and jump with the spacebar. Swing the hammer with a dedicated attack key. Break walls, smash enemies, and reach the exit of each room.

Tips & tricks
- Smash suspicious tiles — secret rooms usually hide behind decorative bricks.
- Bait enemies into a corner before swinging; a single hit clears the cluster.
- Don't rush jumps over pits. Most ledges let you wait an extra beat.
- If a room feels stuck, look for a wall you have not tested yet.
- Watch your hammer cooldown — swing too fast and you'll whiff against a charging enemy.
Strategy notes
Wallhammer is a brawler wrapped around a small puzzle: nearly everything breaks, so the question on each screen is what to smash first. Clear the tile that opens a path or drops an enemy into your swing rather than flailing at everything in reach, and use the hammer’s weight to bait foes into a single heavy hit. Because the dungeons branch, a screen you rushed may hide a path you missed — breaking walls deliberately, not frantically, is how the secret routes reveal themselves.
