Slap Kings for Android

Looking for a quick, silly game to fill a few spare minutes? This Slap Kings APK download for Android drops you into comic slapping tournaments where you face an opponent across a table and try to knock them out with one well-timed hit. Developed by Gameguru, the game is free, works offline, and version 2.0.1 is available on GNVID.

About Slap Kings and how it plays

Gameguru is best known for titles like Racing Fever: Moto, Flick Goal and Moto Racing: Multiplayer, but Slap Kings moves away from racing and sports into a completely different arcade style.

The controls could hardly be simpler. A 180-degree gauge sits at the top of the screen with a needle swinging constantly from side to side. The centre of the gauge is marked green, representing maximum focus and the cleanest strike. Tap the screen as the needle passes over the green zone and your character winds up to full power before landing the slap. The closer the needle is to the centre, the stronger the hit.

Everything is rendered in 3D with a cartoon look, exaggerated animations and funny effects, so the action feels more slapstick than violent. Even so, the game is rated 12+.

Stages, opponents and upgrades

Matches are short stage-based duels, and every new stage brings a tougher rival who demands sharper timing. You are not limited to people, either: you can also slap objects such as a punching bag.

Points and coins earned along the way let you boost your power and health before each stage and improve the speed and skill of your strikes. Winning also rewards you at random with customisation items like different outfits, and you unlock new characters with their own looks and strength as you progress.

Slap Kings passed 10 million downloads on Google Play in a short time and holds a 4.4 out of 5 rating.
