About Snip Happens!
Snip Happens! is a free haircut game for browser and mobile where every strand of hair is really there. You run a sidewalk barber stall: a mirror nailed to a tree, a stack of plastic stools and a sign that says no refunds. Each customer shows you a photo. Your job is to make their head look like it. Drag the scissors across the hair and it falls, strand by strand, onto the cape. Pink marks what is still too long, so anyone can pick it up in seconds.
Then the customers get involved. Uncle Sáu's nose twitches, and if your blade is still down when he sneezes, it takes a long clean line out of his head. A guard falls asleep mid-cut. A trainee idol takes a call from his manager. Grandma's cat climbs onto the job. Madame Gorgon's shades start to slip. The Count's street lamp keeps going out. Clippers, comb, dye, gel and a bottle of hair tonic you should not trust are all there to help, or to make it worse. When you are done, the chair spins, the eyes open and the review lands, from Masterpiece to Malpractice. The worst of them hang forever in your Hall of Shame.
