Protect her and give that brat hassling her what he deserves!

A 2020 mobile game made by a company called Henn where you play as this girl that's constantly being pranked by this boy. As the player it's your job to protect her from the pranks by defeating them and the prankster! It's a point and click game where you collect items to help the girl against the prankster.


Examples

  • 100% Completion: You have to beat every level with a gold star to complete the game. To do this you have to fail on purpose then succeed on the level.
  • Ash Face: Happens to the prankster in Stage 16 when you use a bomb rather than a bowling ball to hit the pins.
  • Asleep in Class: The girl gets scolded for doing this by her teacher in Stage 6 but with a little clever maneuvering the player can get the teacher off of her back and onto the prankster's!
  • Asshole Victim: The prankster when he gets defeated in a painful way.
  • A Taste of Their Own Medicine: In Stage 15 the girl pulls the "jump out and scare someone" prank on the boy which is the same kind of prank he tries to pull on her in Stages 1, 11, and 12.
  • Big Bad: The prankster.
  • Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce: Used by the prankster in Stage 4 to spike the girl's food if the player gets her distracted by petting a puppy.
  • Cartoon Bomb: You use one of these in Stage 16 to defeat the prankster trying to steal your bowling balls.
  • Cat Up a Tree: In stage 10 the girl tries rescuing a cat using a trampoline to bounce up to grab it. The prankster tries stretching the bottom of it to try and get her to fly up in the air and come crashing down. If you found a trowel from behind a bush and dug up an umbrella you can give it to the girl to have her safely float down while rescuing the cat!
  • Chocolate of Romance: In Stage 17 the girl wants to give a boy she likes some chocolate which the prankster tries to swap with something spicy.
  • Conveniently Timed Distraction: In Stage 4 if the player makes the girl pet a puppy while she's eating the prankster will put hot sauce in her food.
  • Counting Sheep: The girl does this in Stage 9 in a dream in which the prankster tries to ruin by digging a hole for the sheep to fall in! Luckily the player can grab the moon in the dream and use it to fill the hole the prankster dug.
  • Cranial Eruption: The prankster gets one of these in Stage 18 when the player throws a baseball at him while he's in a mobile game!
  • Crush Blush: The girl gets one of these in Stage 17 when giving a boy chocolate which the prankster tries to ruin.
  • Dream Stealer: In Stage 9 the prankster tries to ruin the girl's dream by digging a hole for the sheep she's counting to fall in!
  • Dream Tropes: See Dream Stealer above.
  • Faceless Masses: In Stages such as 5, 8, and 16 the crowd is just a bunch of silhouettes.
  • Fake-Hair Drama: The prankster will put the girl's fishing hook in a guy's wig if she fishes by him. She'll accidentally fling it into the water and the guy will get mad at her!
  • Fire-Breathing Diner: Happens in 2 of the stages if you fail. Stage 4 has the prankster sneak hot sauce in the girl's food if you have her get distracted by petting a puppy. Stage 17 has the prankster switch the girl's gift to a boy she likes with something spicy if she and him didn't move away from the vent the prankster comes from.
  • Fishing for Sole: This happens the first time the girl uses the bait to try and catch a fish in stage 3 (assuming she didn't have her hook put in a guy's wig by the prankster if fishing by the guy wearing it. The 2nd time she actually catches one!
  • Full-Body Disguise: The prankster uses one of these to look like an innocent old man holding out a log for the girl to chop in Stage 7. The catch? If the player picks up the log from the old man as one of 5 logs to chop, chopping it reveals a tablet being broken... Potentially her tablet!
  • Game Over: What displays on screen when the prankster wins.
  • Game Within a Game: On Stage 18 the girl will be playing a game on her tablet (just like you currently are now if you're playing on a tablet!) where she has to spot the difference between 2 nearly identical pictures. The difference is the position the prankster is in though he'll try and change to either of the positions throwing you off.
  • Garbage Hideout: In Stage 15 you can hide in the dumpster to try and spook the prankster. Unfortunately, this will result in a game over since the trash smells so bad!
  • Garden-Hose Squirt Surprise: Done in Stage 2 if the player incorrectly uses the hose instead of the bucket to water the flowers. If the hose is used the prankster will back up the water for it before letting it loose on the girl!
  • Karma: When the prank backfires and hurts the prankster and rightfully so!
  • Laser-Guided Karma: When the prank backfires the prankster is immediately hurt. For example, in Stage 5 when the prankster tries to steal the girl's bowling balls she instead has a strong bowler bowl and the bowling ball hits the prankster hard and knocks down the pins!
  • Limited Wardrobe: The prankster wears the same orange with white stripe shirt, tan khaki pants and black shoes with white trim every time!
  • Nameless Narrative: Neither the girl whom player protects nor the boy whom player protects the girl from has a name!
  • Parasol Parachute: Used by the girl if equipped to her by the player after the prankster stretched the bottom of her trampoline while she was trying to rescue a cat.
  • Revenge: See A Taste of Their Own Medicine above.
  • Point-and-Click Game: You touch items to pick them up and drag and drop them where needed.
  • Victory Pose: See V-Sign below.
  • Tampering with Food and Drink: See Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce and Fire-Breathing Diner above.
  • Visible Odor: Happens in Stage 15 if you incorrectly decide to hide in the trashcan to try and scare the prankster!
  • V-Sign: Done by the girl after winning each level.
