Super Hasel Puncher 42 · bei.pm

From October 2023 to October 2024, I was part of the community around the Twitch streamer Haselnuuuss, where I began to discover the art of "memes" for myself after a while.

This happened roughly at the same time that I was also exploring generative AI - and thus took every opportunity to be creatively active in certain (often questionable) ways.

When she started exploring the classic game Doom³ on August 3, 2024, and stumbled upon the Super Turkey Puncher 3 in Level 1, Mars City, which is quite entertaining and in a way represents an ancestor of clicker and rhythm games, I felt inspired to take this up immediately.

In the Lore of the streamer, squirrels were considered the "archenemy" - and thus the Super Hasel Puncher 42 was created in a night-and-fog action in Godot 4 for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and as WebAssembly also for mobile platforms (iOS / Android).

The game does not offer much in-depth content - similar to the original, it is limited to a captured squirrel, which is now exaggeratedly held accountable for its constant nut theft.

Each "hit" increases the score - if you manage to do it in a certain rhythm, it gives bonus points.

The graphics were generated via OpenAI Dall·E 3.

Sound effects and voice-over were generated using ElevenLabs.io Text-to-Speech and Text-to-SFX.
The music was manually created using LMMS.

The game is available for free on the itch.io page of the game.
