Nail 'n Scale is a mix of Jump'n Run and puzzle games. The player character can jump and throw nails at his enemies. Apart from killing enemies, nails can also serve as platforms when they are thrown into blocks. Some blocks can be destroyed when you throw a nail into them and jump on the nail , whereas other blocks cannot even be penetrated by the nails . As the game progresses, levels get more and more complicated and new types of nails , such as explosive nails that remove particularly resilient blocks, become available.
The gameplay in Nail 'n Scale is fast-paced and requires quick thinking. The player must use the nails effectively to navigate through the levels, kill enemies, and overcome obstacles. With new types of nails being introduced as you progress through the game, strategy and timing are key to success.
Nail 'n Scale was released on the GameBoy in 1992 for fans of action and adventure games looking for a challenging experience.
