About The Slappening
The Slappening is a 3D funny horror game about a kid trying to escape school after a fresh haircut earns him a slap. The halls are full of slapping hands, and getting out without taking another one is the whole point.
You get around by rolling and spitting, which is about as dignified as it sounds. It's a platformer with stealth and physics mixed in, so sneaking past a hand matters as much as clearing a jump.
The hands are the stars. Each one has its own quirks, and learning how they behave is how you slip by. Everything is played for laughs, from the floating head on the title screen to a whole school that seems to be out to slap you.

What to Expect in The Slappening
Expect a silly game with a horror coat of paint. The title screen alone shows a boy's head with bright blue lips floating in a pastel sky next to a gloved hand, and the joke keeps going from there. It's more funny than frightening, which is why it sits closer to a funny horror game than a real scare.

You can play The Slappening online here first, and The Slappening free in the browser is the quickest way to see if it's for you.
Tips for The Slappening
- Watch a hand for a few seconds before you move. Its quirks show you when it's safe to pass.

- Check Settings before you start to see the controls and what you can change.
- Close other tabs if it stutters. It's a full 3D game running in your browser.
