Tax Smack

Tax Smack was one of those simple, direct games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick way to blow off steam. You loaded it up in your browser, and it got straight to the point.

You control a fist with your mouse, aiming punches at a cartoon accountant who keeps deducting money from you. The main objective is to hit him as many times as you can, with each successful punch adding to your score. The game responds to your clicks with exaggerated sound effects and animations, making the impacts feel satisfyingly silly. The pacing is fast and repetitive; the accountant bounces around, and you keep swinging. It's a straightforward, cathartic experience that turns a mundane frustration into something physically playful.
