Whack A Ginger is an upcoming package of arcade games developed by MedSoft. It is based on the same idea of the original Whack A Ginger developed jointly by MedSoft and RJD Online. It will incorporate the humorous trend of the harming and maiming of gingers, or red-haired individuals, and will be programmed exclusively by Medessec in GML, or Game Maker Language.

Games
There are planned to be at least 3 separate games in the package, all with online achievement recording capabilities and high score tables. Each game involves the same theme of harming gingers, but each feature different gameplay. Here is a list of the planned games as well as a brief description:
Whack A Ginger
Based on the original classic stand-alone game, this is a whack-a-mole style arcade game with one simple object: bonk as many Gingers as you can. There will be a marathon mode, where the game goes on endlessly, featuring an achievement system. There will also be an arcade mode, which also goes on endlessly, but the object is to get the highest score, and missing gingers will make you "lose lives". Losing enough lives ends the game. There is planned to be an online high score submission system.
Launch A Ginger
Based on the concept of some online flash games featuring a character or object that is launched or propelled a distance, with the object of getting the longest possible distance. There will be a campaign mode, where you earn credits by launching the ginger a distance. The farther you launch the ginger, the more credits you earn in a round. There will be upgrade options, which will assist in getting the ginger to go farther. A score is counted up based on how far you are able to go, and there will be an online score submission system.
Shoot A Ginger
Based on 2D games with pseudo-3D techniques creating depth, this game places you in a field, where Gingers come to you in waves and try to get to you. When a certain amount of Gingers reach you, the game ends. There are upgrades and more powerful weapons to help you last through later waves. The weapons in Shoot a Ginger are from the MedSoft project MedMadness. There will be a score counted based on how many gingers killed and how you killed them, and there will be an online high score submission system.
Development
The game is currently under development, and a small Ginever.net Download center demo release has been released, as a demo rather than an alpha release to show the Ginever.net community the game's new look and to demonstrate the new engine and gameplay. The release only features the Whack A Ginger game, and with the classic system of gameplay.
Use of Ginever.net
All three of the mini-games are also planned to utilize the GineverAccount API in some way. All three will probably use it as an online achievement and high-score posting system, and games like Launch-a-Ginger and Shoot-a-Ginger may even feature duel online gameplay.
