Whack A Haggis

Whack A Haggis Game

Whack A Haggis is a new game at
About Aberdeen where you use your computer mouse to move a wooden mallet to splat the popping up haggis. As each haggis pops up from their hole you need to splat the bad haggis and avoid hitting the good haggis. You get points for each bad haggis that you whack and points taken from your score for each good haggis that you whack. The good haggis are the friendly smiling haggis with the tartan bonnet whilst the bad haggis are the red scary looking haggis with the brown cap.

I'm looking for some testers of the new game and in return you can claim a main borntoloaf item from
www.borntoloaf.co.uk
such as a mug, rucksack, fleece jacket, flask, hoodie, ski hat etc. In addition I will also send smaller items that you request such as car stickers, notelets, pens, an aboutaberdeen rollerball pen in presentation case, badge, wallet, pencil case, frisbee, etc. Quite a lot of stuff in fact. It's my way of saying thank you for helping.

What I'd need you to do is visit whack a haggis game page and play the game. Don't worry about what score you get, you just need to play the whack a haggis game for the minute. Then enter your name or nickname. You will stay on the same aboutaberdeen page but the graphics will change to a score league table. Don't worry if you don't get on it. Use the arrow key to the right and scroll down to some coding. This is where I need help testing the whack a haggis game. Copy the coding, either the first html code or the bottom url code with optional image. There is an example below:



Now I need you to copy and paste this code onto your own website, a forum such as a competition forum, chat forum or webspace like myspace. If you are using the text link url then please add this to a signature you use or under any postings or profile to newsgroups, discussion boards, forums, etc.

This enables me to test that this coding is working and that other people can access the game and play it. I would need your code to stay in place for about 48 hours so that I can trace and tweak any bugs or problems. The site should also have natural visitors and not have been set up just to get freebies! No traffic - no borntoloaf freebies! The freebies will only be sent out to people who send traffic to the whack the haggis game so that testing can take place. I need at least 10 unique visitors from each link, so really describe the game to get people playing whack a haggis and you'll get the born to loaf freebies. I need this minimum level of traffic from each link to fully test the game coding.


So do the above and
contact me using Aboutaberdeen game tester in the subject line and tell me where you placed the link, your name and address and a list of the items you'd like to receive. The items are subject to availability and are kept up to date at http://www.borntoloaf.co.uk/competitionpage.htm

Thank you for your help.
