The dynamic music is great. The hammer control made conceptual sense; hammer positioning gives good contextual clues. I think hiding the hammer unless your cursor is over something that can be hammered would be good. When it's floating around sometimes it feels like I should be aiming with it. If you plan to add other tools, I suppose putting it in a corner of the \"hud\" would work as well (that could be done as a space near the camera).
