About Aberdeen Haggis Game
Use the mouse of your computer to move and raise or lower the hammer to give the haggis a whack. Aim to hit the angry bad looking haggis who are coloured red. Hit this haggis and he will sound a haggis noise.
Try and avoid hitting the friendly tartan bonnet clad haggis or he will give a wee squeak and take a point off your score.
Variations of this haggis game include splat the haggis and haggis hunting game.
There is a mute button on the left of the game if you really do not like the bagpipe music (are you mad!!). This does turn off the haggis sound effects through.
Disclaimer - No haggis were harmed in the making of this game and will be released back into the wild after the haggis whacking season - just in time for the
haggis hunting season!
