Let's settle things the gentlemanly way! The idea is that you only use one hand in a slap-off with your rival, and, derivatively, you use only the left mouse button as a control.

I made this with Unity3D, GIMP, Audacity, and FL Studio, and somehow managed to do it around working for 8 hours on Saturday :D

Awesome art, music, feel, and concept. The gameplay is simple, but enough to give me a solid giggle, and play through it three times. The insults are great.

Quite well made chap! The gameplay is extremely simple but the graphics and "gentlemanly" mood make up for it.

Good idea

I don't know what happened exactly, but this game still make me laugh.

the tutorial text at the beginning was a little overwhelming, but after 2 or 3 rounds I really got the hang of it. Good show, old chap!

"Only One" cannot be described, it must simply be experienced.

It took a moment for me to recognize the barrage of slaps coming my way - a more distinct slapping sound would have served me well.

Haha! We both have games where gentlemen are slapping eachother! Good show old chap!

The idea is great but the game mechanic could have used some more love I think.

Thanks for the comments everyone! @primaerfunktion: Yeah, I had originally planned to play around with dragging to set an angle and power of the slap, and having things fly off his face (monocle, top hat, fake moustache) but ended up running out of time. Thanks for the criticism!

Well I say! That was quite amusing good sir. A fine piece of art, if only a little infantile. Yet, these boyish divertissment are good for the juveniles among us!

(Nice job ;))
