Haha, 5 star on humor.

A few technical problems. The link provided in sourceless copy is invalid. It's fine, you can just browse to the exe manually, but I thought you might want to know. The game automatically went fullscreen at a very small resolution, one that my video card didn't like, so I sat at a flickering black screen for about two minutes while the music, which seemed way too loud, blared in the background. Once the game actually started, it ran way too fast. It looked like flashing heads above each cup. At one point it lagged for a second and I could see that they were supposed to be coming out one at a time, but that made the game functionally unplayable. I just mashed the hammer above one of the cups until I died.

the game starts really hard,and im not sure if i have to click the memes or not because i lose no mater what, also i would like to keep playing without having to restart the game each time i lose

blahoink 2014-04-29 01:59

the game has a few technical problems, and i think @empyrealhell covered most of it. good luck fixing your bugs and congrats to your first LD!

chipcaramel 2014-04-29 02:06

Double You Tee Eff did I just play!? XD

tylerb1 2014-04-29 02:13

I'm going to mention it again, but yes, there are a couple technical problems, but overall, a very pointless, but pretty funny little game!

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-29 02:14

Thanks Everyone! :D

terraco 2014-04-29 02:15

I feel like I have jus been trolled

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-29 02:16

haha terraco, glad you like it! :D

emberkirk 2014-04-29 02:20

Congrats on your first LD. Keep making games!

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-29 02:22

thanks @EmberKirk! :D GameGrape Corporation: www.codingrevolution.blogspot.com and good luck to you! :)

eerongal 2014-04-29 02:46

The games unplayably fast. It starts up and its over in about 5 seconds.

tomhunt 2014-04-29 02:46

no .exe included, just a link to a file location presumably on the dev's computer.

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-29 02:48

@tomhunt don't worry it's there, its a shortcut to the executable double tap and open the game :D Have fun!

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-29 02:50

@eerongal sorry to hear that, I'll slow down the speed in a future update, thanks! :D GameGrape Corporation: www.codingrevolution.blogspot.com

ryebread761 2014-04-29 02:51

I somehow ended up with a dead shortcut to the game, trying to find it on the F:\ drive. Also, relax on the GameGrape Corporation links a bit. Ludum Dare isn't a place to through ads all over, it's getting ridiculous.

hissssssssss 2014-04-29 03:00

Either the hammer's hit box or the meme faces hitboxes are too small, because I could hit grapes consistently, but I barely could hit any faces at all.

Great try!

muramasa 2014-04-29 03:00

Um... two things. First, I don't know when I whack something. Or maybe I never did.

Second, if I just press the mouse key, the... flypaper? keeps down, then after a while the game closes with an alert saying a number. What does that mean?

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-29 03:02

Thanks @hissssssssss! You have to hit them on the head :D so alittle over there heads :) thanks for the feedback! :D

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-29 03:06

@muramasa :) The alert at the end gives you your final score :D When you whack it plays a little whack sound, and when you hit a meme it plays a "ding!" :) Thanks for your feedback!

endesga 2014-04-29 04:04

Hahahaha cool game you have here! :D

phocker 2014-04-29 04:21

um. ok.

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-29 05:00

thanks! haha @ENDESGA

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-29 05:00

:) glad you liked it @sPoCkEr2! :D

artylo 2014-04-29 07:25

Well man, you sure did something...I'm speechless O_O

techblogogy 2014-04-29 07:52

LOLOLOLOLOL!

lars-faust 2014-04-29 09:09

Oh god.

thorig 2014-04-29 10:15

Funny game, really like it!

doubstract 2014-04-29 12:34

Confusing? It's weird, but gameplay is simple and it's funny!

lanoiadimuu 2014-04-29 12:39

The game shortcut does not work.
For people wondering: just run \bin\Whack a meme.exe
You should repack your game so the exe is in first folder.

Not to be that bitch but: the game should be a jam entry, since some of the images you used are not original content.

Lastly, on my pc the game runs too fast to be playable and I was not able to play. I will rate it once you rebuild it with some kind of fps limit. ;)

binary_girl 2014-04-29 13:09

ahahh good job:)

theengineers 2014-04-29 14:08

I can't.

darkengineer 2014-04-29 16:34

Really trolling game :)

Magnus 2014-04-29 20:05

please...

Magnus 2014-04-29 20:06

no

rubna 2014-04-29 20:10

<:(

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-29 20:26

Thanks Guys! :D @Muu? I will look into the .exe error, thanks!

afal 2014-04-29 21:31

thank you game grape corporation. I have always wondered what it would be like to whack the may-mays and this has fulfilled that dream.

simplesmiler 2014-04-30 00:28

It's great that you have so much energy and aspiration, but you need to learn how to do thing properly from technical point of view. It may be hard and boring, but your games will only became better.

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-30 01:02

lol no problem @Afal :D

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-30 01:03

@simplesmiler alright, I understand. Thanks for your feedback! :)

hyouko 2014-04-30 03:18

Sadly, it's unplayably fast-moving on my (fairly modest) computer. If you haven't already, you should implement a timing loop that limits the game logic to run at a steady pace, regardless of how fast the game renders.

yo_milo 2014-04-30 04:06

It is a nice game... I really dislike how the game closes itself when the game is over...

dreii 2014-04-30 04:10

ow my ears :(

spotco 2014-04-30 08:52

jesus, that killed my parallels desktop
like literally gave it seizures

gins 2014-04-30 16:51

It runs way too fast on my computer :(

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-30 17:24

Sorry to hear that, @spotco and @Gins

metkis 2014-04-30 22:59

Congrats on your first Ludum Dare!

gamegrape-corporation 2014-04-30 23:43

thanks @metkis! :D

minibutmany 2014-05-02 18:27

The link didn't work for me either...
Having the score pop up in a second window after the game finished was kind of annoying. Nice music tho.

ddrkirbyisq 2014-05-04 03:47

uhhhhh wat

basselgaming 2014-05-04 09:14

Well, that was quick.. still pretty cool tho!

davidb 2014-05-04 11:59

run too fast then crash on my computer.

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-05-05 09:06

Whaaat?

jacob-peltola 2014-05-15 04:51

Lovely incorporation of the meme faces, The game needs a start button or something so I don't lose immediately.

aelita1992 2014-05-15 10:30

Hope the game will be more developed in the future, but the meme idea is really awesome :)

gamegrape-corporation 2014-05-18 15:58

Thanks jtpup0! I normally do that with my games, but I took too much time trying to think of a game idea that i had to use my alternative entry i made at the beginning of the jam. Thanks! -Mallot1 GameGrape Corporation: www.codingrevolution.blogspot.com

gamegrape-corporation 2014-05-18 15:58

Thanks aelita1992, Will DO! :D -Mallot1 GameGrape Corporation: www.codingrevolution.blogspot.com
