whackable

Able to smack

Whackable describes something that can be whacked—struck with a sharp blow or, in informal use, killed.

The term appears most often in video game contexts, where whackable objects or enemies are those the player can hit or destroy, often to collect items or clear obstacles.

Every bush in the game is whackable and might drop coins.

Outside gaming, it can describe anything suitable for a good smack.
