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
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!
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!
thanks @EmberKirk! :D GameGrape Corporation: www.codingrevolution.blogspot.com and good luck to you! :)
The games unplayably fast. It starts up and its over in about 5 seconds.
no .exe included, just a link to a file location presumably on the dev's computer.
@tomhunt don't worry it's there, its a shortcut to the executable double tap and open the game :D Have fun!
@eerongal sorry to hear that, I'll slow down the speed in a future update, thanks! :D GameGrape Corporation: www.codingrevolution.blogspot.com
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.
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!
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?
Thanks @hissssssssss! You have to hit them on the head :D so alittle over there heads :) thanks for the feedback! :D
@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!
Confusing? It's weird, but gameplay is simple and it's funny!
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. ;)
Thanks Guys! :D @Muu? I will look into the .exe error, thanks!
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.
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.
@simplesmiler alright, I understand. Thanks for your feedback! :)
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.
It is a nice game... I really dislike how the game closes itself when the game is over...
jesus, that killed my parallels desktop
like literally gave it seizures
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.
Lovely incorporation of the meme faces, The game needs a start button or something so I don't lose immediately.
Hope the game will be more developed in the future, but the meme idea is really awesome :)
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
Thanks aelita1992, Will DO! :D -Mallot1 GameGrape Corporation: www.codingrevolution.blogspot.com
This is basically the LSD bad-trip of someone who spends too much time on 9GAG :P

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Haha, 5 star on humor.
