Pesky yard gnomes are invading your lawn! The only way to stop them is with a swift hammer blow to the head. Bash gnomes as quickly as you can while watching for special gnomes, prizes, and power-ups. Earn gold coins and shop for upgrades.
The objective of the game is to smash the gnomes coming from the holes in the game area. The player controls a hammer with the mouse, and clicking on a gnome reduces its hearts (displayed on its base) by a set amount depending on the power of the hammer. Different types of gnomes appear as the game progresses, with varying characteristics and numbers of hearts. The player's health is represented by a row of hearts at the top of the screen; health is lost for missing with a hammer strike, activating a trap (such as a bomb disguised as a gnome), or letting a gnome escape without destroying it. If all hearts are lost, the game ends.
Destroyed gnomes occasionally drop hearts or coins, which respectively restore the player's health and allow the purchase of various power-up items at the in-game shop when it pops up. Loose items lying on the ground can be hit for bonus points. Coins can be acquired by other means, such as defeating particular gnomes in specified ways or playing a bonus round.
At the end of each level, the player earns bonus points based on their performance (click accuracy, number of gnomes destroyed, etc.).
