    Ah, nice, mindless fun, what is it not to like about that?
    Well, it could be a bit less mindless, I just pressed forward and attack for great justice, but it was fun nonetheless.

    I really liked the graphics, the sounds were a bit annoying though (but maybe that is why the giant boy was rampaging?)

    Thanks for the game!

    This game did a good job with the theme. However, one of those sound effects needs to be removed, it hurts my ears.

    short mindless fun - brilliant :D

    the one sound effect is terrible though but it didn't affect the fun too much

    A master of rainbows! The lightning was great, also parallax and the graphics :D Congrats on the game.

    Interesting use of theme, and really good looking. Fun concept, kudos! However, it has what could be the most atrocious sound effects I have yet to hear in a game...

    Im sorry about the bad sound effect. Next time i'll try harder to get better sounds =)

    Dr.Pingu, the weirdest houses are the ones where 2 men and 1 sheep runs out.

    Nice! I love the killing tiny things bit, but i was frustrated that i could not kill the villagers :/
    Still, nice! And nice graphics aswell =)

    Nice graphics and funny story, but a bit too basic button masher gameplay.

    And, ow, you cant kill people running away from the houses ?

    samwoakley says ...

    I agree with others that the sound was coma inducing. But who cares when you're just mindlessly killing tiny people? I really liked it. Managed to be cute and bloodthirsty at the same time...

    A bit basic but nice graphics and great overall mood. The only major complaint I have is the audio. Still quite a fun game. Good work!

    Heheheh. It could use a bit more things for the player to do, but the graphics are good, and it's pretty fun anyway.

    mmm have i only to spam forward and space?
    The gameplay is too simple.
    Anyway it's well presented and you have a funny story and good characters :)

    Man, loved the game. The "augh" sfx was indeed annoying but the game itself is solid. Liked the humor a lot, haha.
    Fun entry. Congratulations. I enjoyed it a lot.

    Loved the gameplay, the sound was indeed very annoying! Great twist of the theme and well executed!

    Nice game, I love the progression in difficulty. The graphics were super impressive but the sound effect when a house got destroyed was ear shattering. Very funny though.

    Pretty fun, although i just smashed on through it hehe.
    The sounds can get a bit annoying especially towards the end.
    I liked some funny details like all the houses having a couple and a goat ahah and a master of rainbows!! Nice entry :)

    Smashy smashy is always fun! Bit repetitive though, with no real sense of control over whether you take damage or not, and the sound effects are really awful.
