Are you on slapping terms with buddies? Quite the trend-setter, leading Indian online games company, Games2Win.com (G2W), has launched "Slapster", its first application on popular social networking Web site Orkut.

Don't quite believe it? Better do -- for "Slapster", Games2Win claims, is a great release for anger and frustration, the kind you experience when friends get exasperating and make you want to give them a whack, except that you just can't!

Of course, "Slapster" is only about 'virtually slapping' each other. Although to make it as real as possible, the application allows you to add a friend's profile to your avatar (male/female). After which, all you need to do is use your mouse to click on and drag a trembling hand and strike with all your might. If you want to be 'mr nice guy' and not give an unsuspecting friend a nasty surprise, you could try stating the reason for your behavior.

According to Games2Win, here's an application that promises to be a whole lot of fun -- what with 'Slapster badges' and all that jazz! Slap fast repeatedly and you get to flash the badge; you start as rookie 'Second Lieutenant' and get to climb up to 'General'.

Alok Kejriwal, founder and chief executive officer of Games2Win, said, "A simple inconspicuous poke is getting to be passe. Users are now looking for more expressive ways to communicate with friends, but they want to keep it light and fun at the same time. Slapster gives them this outlet."

So if you want to be like aapna Munnabhai, try your hands at "Slapster". Or, just go ahead and slap anyways!
