HI!
This year Hammerfight turned 10 years. It was very fun and positive time for us and the game. Many players tried our game on Steam and many more knew it through very successful bundles, like Humble Indie Bundle and numerous others.
But nothing lasts forever. Main developer, Konstantin Koshutin (http://koshutin.com/) is deep into his new game, High Fleet, and simply can't provide needed support and fixing for the game to keep it up to modern standards. Please understand it and maybe check out his site about upcoming game?
Anyway, we decided to make Hammefight completely free. We hope you will accept and support our decision and enjoy even more out of Hammerfight!
Exact date of turning Hammerfight into completely free game is up to Steam. We hope it will be made free in 1 week from now.
Thank you all for years of support and good luck! Feel free to write us anything you think, good or bad, about this decision and whats coming next.

Hammerfight is about 2D battles of flying machines equipped with various slashing, piercing and blunt weaponry.A unique combat system is based on realistic physics simulation, and it ties the movements of the rider to the movements of your mouse. As you wave the mouse, your rider swings his warhammer, smashing the foe into the wall! This creates an unequaled feel of the real strike, a feel of the mass of the weapon in your hands. Simulated physics and direct mouse control creates a huge variety of possible battle techniques and an unlimited field for perfecting one's fighting skill.
