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 =)
in the houses there is only women, children .. and goats ?! well, why not ^^
nice work guys :)
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 ?
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.

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!
