Slappy Face: the Slappening is a fun, fast-paced, casual arcade game. Gameplay is like a combination of Tetris and Fruit Ninja, with a humorous twist: the player swipes to guide a hand across the screen and slap a colorful variety of smiley (and frowny) faces. Six boosts aid the player in slapping, but players must also be careful not to slap kitten faces, lest they anger the Megakitty! Retro-style pixel graphics and an energetic theme song with a buzzing lead guitar make this game appealing for all ages.
This is my third game (all solo-developed), and my second in the App Store. After developing my first game to appeal to adult players with a mature, minimalist aesthetic and relatively complex gameplay, I decided to make something that my small children can enjoy with Slappy Face. This was actually one of my earliest game ideas. I hope that the game’s zany humor, catchy music, and gameplay that is easy to pick up but challenging to master, will put a smile on people’s faces in what has been a challenging year for so many.
