It was compatible with iPhone OS 2.0 or later. == iTunes description == ''HAPPY TREE FRIENDS: SLAP HAPPY is a unique game application that puts your very own cute, cuddly and unsuspecting Happy Tree Friend in the palm of your hand. Inspired by the animated shorts from the cult sensation, Happy Tree Friends; HAPPY TREE FRIENDS: SLAP HAPPY allows you to tease and play with your furry friend, but be sure to keep your little pal safe and out of harm's way because you never know when crazy things are bound to happen!<br><br>The application takes full advantage of the Apple iPhone and iPod touch to extend the different circumstances that Happy Tree Friends characters can experience and that fans have come to love and expect from the series.'' == Gameplay == The gameplay revolves around the touch screen of the iOS device. The game starts with [[Cuddles]] in a room. The player can hurt him by moving their fingers on the screen. They can touch his tummy and slap his face. By shaking the mobile device, the screen will shake, and Cuddles will bounce around the walls as he gets hurt. If he is hurt too much, he will be seen with injuries on him and may even pass out, requiring the player to attempt CPR, which results in him getting up and having his injuries removed. It is possible to maim Cuddles with various objects such as spikes, chainsaws, and pipes by pulling up a menu. == Development == The ''Happy Tree Friends: Slap Happy'' app was first teased on [[Happy Tree Friends Social]] via Kenn Navarro's blog titled "Let your finger do the slapping!", which was first published on July 6, 2009. In that blog post, Kenn first explained about the many things he could do at Mondo related to ''Happy Tree Friends'', including side projects such as t-shirt designs or other merchandise. Kenn admitted to be a fan of games and thus decided to reveal one such project related to it, which is this app. A teaser trailer simply titled ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=858n3HgGCnk Happy Tree Friends - Slap Happy]'' was included, featuring Cuddles in a room within an iPhone screen and a human finger slapping him. It was slated to be released for August, with a tentative date of August 30, 2009<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/07/01/publisher-x-announces-slap-happy-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch IGN article]</ref>, before it got delayed to before the holidays. During post-release, ''Happy Tree Friends: Slap Happy'' was promoted using live-action skits featuring an actor in a Cuddles suit going about in the real world to represent the app's gimmick of "taking Cuddles anywhere with you," which was expressed in the first of such video released on December 16, 2009, ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxXjdNfV9DU Happy Tree Friends - Slap Happy iPhone App]'' (also known as ''The Cuddles Slide'' according to the "Let your finger do the slapping!" blog post, though mistakenly linked to ''Cuddles takes the bus!'' in URL), which shows Cuddles accompanying and playing with a young boy. The second video released on December 22, 2009, ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CDvckp84Go Happy Tree Friends - Get Slap Happy]'', expresses the app's gimmick in the form of Cuddles getting slapped (or otherwise abused) by random people. The third video released on January 2, 2010, ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Lovo_uELhI Happy Tree Friends - Cuddles takes the bus!]'', combines both aspects of the previous two videos as it shows Cuddles accompanying a kid to take a bus, but due to his size, he is unable to get inside and thus gets slapped by the kid. == Reception == On iTunes, as of October 8, 2010, ''Happy Tree Friends: Slap Happy'' gained a rating of around 3.5 stars out of 5, from a total of 767 ratings. Customer reviews criticized the app for having too little content or interaction for an app based on the show, combined with the wait time since its announcement back in July. == Gallery == <gallery> HTF Slap Happy.jpg|The player is slapping Cuddles.
