One of the defining traits of a puzzle game is the depth of thought required of players to discover solutions with their own wit. Just like every convention of thought, there is always an example of one who dares to ask, "what if?" Indeed, what if there were a puzzle game whose solutions involved mindlessly slapping everything and everyone around them? The developers at Turbo Button aim to answer just that with Slap Out Of It!, and I got to slap my way through the first level at SGF.

Laughter heals the soul.
