ALERT! The memes have taken over the under world! Its up to you to knock-em-out! Welcome to Whack-a-Meme! Hit those crazy meme's back into their holes in this fun, and past paced game. Don't hit the grapes! You'll lose health. Can you get the most points?
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
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.
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?

@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!
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.
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.
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

Great try!

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. ;)
like literally gave it seizures
Having the score pop up in a second window after the game finished was kind of annoying. Nice music tho.
