Games2win makes you slaphappy!
 
By MILAN SHARMA
If the entire US election fracas, where the election-poll hungry monkeys mongering for votes on TV, internet and radio have been driving you up the wall, Games2win brings you a game that will allow you give them a piece of your mind.

Election Slap is a game that will drive that itch in your hand away. The game invites people eager to slap the 'celebrities' of the US presidential elections; Palin, Obama, Hillary, McCain and George Bush, and have fun at the same time.

On the motive of creating the game, Games2win Product Head Mihir Shah told Animationxpress.com, "The idea is not to be malicious in anyway and is not to be taken in a literal sense. It is essentially slap-stick humour. Since we also cater to an international audience and the US is going through an election fever, we created this paradigm."

The 2D flash animated game is easy to play, where the player needs to drag the mouse within the playing area to slap and score target points. There are five hands allotted at each level. The game measures the impact of the slaps delivered each time.

To qualify for the preceding levels, one has to surpass the target points. There are in all five stages that begin with slapping Palin first, proceeding to Obama, Hillary, McCain and Bush, in that order.

The pre production and production schedule took merely five days. "It was a team effort and everyone was actively involved right from the creative aspect to the final production. We create topical games with key events. Therefore, the entire game was conceptualized and finished in a very short span of time," said Mihir.

The game acts as a stress reliever for anyone looking for a good laugh. The background score and the slap sound used, peps up the fun element of the game. The portal offers players to go ahead and rate the game. The game can also be downloaded and played offline. So, go make yourselves slaphappy people!
