I was able to hold it still by constantly holding down arrow and I even finished first level this way.\r\rBy the way, in comments to my game you said that you got a crash.

The hammer is effective in a strange "arc" which was a bit annoying at times as it would take of chunks sometimes I didn't think were in the range.\r\rStill had fun playing though.

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing :)\r\r@everyone, thanks for kind words. I agree that mouse controls would be better, I don't really have an excuse for not using them.\rCollision effect (not actually hit effect itself) is calculated every frame, so the result might indeed be odd when the hammer overlaps with edges for too long."},{"author_name":"KappaIX","author_uid":"90060","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 8:51pm","epoch":1461185160,"text":"Interesting idea!
