Every Played those Whack a Mole Games?

This is like that, but with your keyboard and some one-eyed aliens. Note that this game is far easier if you use the number pad on your keyboard — it’s a royal pain if you use the number row on your keyboard (which I’m stuck with as I’m on my laptop).

I just played it. It’s similar to the whack-a-mole game I made for the TRS-80 in ’93 🙂 We didn’t have a mouse so I used the number pad.
I didn’t have aliens with different toughnesses, or coins and shops, but you did have a life meter and you were bopping the letter O. when you bopped it it would become an X and go away. If you let an O elapse, or if you hit somewhere else you lost a hitpoint.
At higher levels other letters would appear, and then finally zeros would appear (on the TRS-80’s these looked just barely different) and things sped up 🙂 It was purty fun
