Whackadoodle!
A downloadable game

You must make a decision.
Very quickly. There are 4 bad doodles, and 4 good doodles.
You never know where or when they will pop up.
Steady your hand as time unfolds, the doodles will appear.
If you whack enough doodles, the time that you can hit them will decrease.
Whack only the bad doodles, in this test of your own concentration.

Cool game, thank you.
Build my own controller for it:
That's super awesome!
Nice game, maybe really fun with those real controllers. I also added it to my new "Gameplay of New C64 Games from July 2024" video.
Awesome! Thanks so much
