Trying to make the hammer hit funnier — open to ideas

Pain Points:

• Hammer hit animation lacks comedic impact
• Timing of hammer appearance feels predictable
• Current sound effects are not funny enough
• Player reactions to hits are not exaggerated enough

Problems to Solve:

• How to make hammer hits funnier and more impactful
• How to add surprise elements to hammer timing
• How to enhance character reactions for comedic effect
• How to create visual chaos that matches cartoony style

Potential Solutions:

• Add camera shake, cartoon stars, and bonk sounds
• Implement springy head physics and eye animations (pupil shrinking, bulging eyes)
• Use squash/stretch deformation on heads and hammer
• Add ragdoll physics and delayed teleport recovery
• Introduce randomized timing for hammer swings
• Create multiple reaction variations for unpredictability
• Use interpolation curves for more dynamic animations
• Add humorous sound effects (grunts, screams, squeaky noises)
• Implement head deformation with re-inflation animations
