Great Game! I had a blast killing all those filthy peasants. My only criticism is that the movement felt a bit sticky at times, and it was a little hard to hit people

The low poly art style works quite well, feels like it could have used some more sound effects for the villagers.

The music sits in the background, doesn't really add much but doesn't take away from anything either, so that's cool.

I liked the different style of movement, took some getting used to, all the multi-destruction combos for XP, that was awesome.

This was so fun. The levelling system really sells it. Everything about this game is great.

surprisingly fun.

no real complaints, but a couple suggestions: maybe give one of the options when you level up be full health. it would be an interesting trade off but probably worthwhile to make.

also an infinite mode would be cool but would probably require careful balancing

also if you could just wack villagers and make them destroy their houses with the sheer impact of their body that would be sweet. it also might be possible but i think i only ever saw it happen with other houses.

oh actually i do have one complaint; the game should pause when you're leveling up. but its understandable that it does not given the constraints we are working with :)

My arm is so big! Great game. At one point I destroyed everything in my surroundings which stopped me from destroying more, but then I found more humans!

I quite enjoyed that, it's a bit too easy for my taste but being able to club people so hard they go flying is so satisfying!

Really fun game, a better visual cue for killing villagers could be a good addition, even if it's just them turning red or something like that.

A second game I've seen with this theme, but this one is much more interesting. Leveling system makes it worth to kill enemies just to see what new weapons will Ogre get. The only thing I didn't get is how to restore your health. Pressing 4 during level up bumps up maximum, but leaves the current level intact, if I'm not mistaken?

Really fun game and nicely polished too. Good use of humour and nailed the awesome rampage mechanic, but with nice touches so it's not mindless (e.g. need a bit of thought to deal with archers and choose the best upgrades).

At the begining I thought the game was too simple, but destroying houses became addictive.
The art side is solid and I wasn't expecting at all a level up system.
The movement controlls are a bit strange but they feel intuitive.

It remembered me this Trogdor game:

Nice entry!

Really loved the game, found myself playing it for a really long time. Might have been nice if the dead people were removed from the scene at some point as I noticed my frames dropping when I was near a lot of them, but great game! Good job!

Lots of fun smashing stuff! Could use a little more feedback for smacking filthy peasants around. Graphics are simple but convey what they need to and are super charming.

Amazing graphics and great audio. It is very funny. I found it quite too easy and I don't know if there is an ending, played for a good while. Also it is a bit weird having houses outside the playable area in my opinion.

Was a lot of fun destroying all the people and especially the buildings. A little bit more objective would have been nice, but good job otherwise!

At first I thought the title was a Shrek thing and I was a bit apprehensive to play. I ended up playing it anyway, and man was I surprised. this game is great! Pure destruction and wreckage of those filthy peasants! The building destruction combos are really fun, and the upgrades are interesting to play with. The little screams of the people make me laugh as well. Very good game nice work!

Very fun game. Played for quite a while trying to max out my levels. Final weapon was great, too! Took me a bit to get used to the controls.

Love the voice -- it's a great little feature and sums up the futility. They just sound so sad.

Very cute, low-poly art style. Those archers though. They're the devil.

This was very pretty. I loved all the details like the arrows sticking to the monster's face. I loved playing with the physics and watching the destruction I cause. Coming back over to a location and seeing the devastation was fun and did make me truly feel like a monster. Great job!

This game is awesome, but it's a but easy. i love to smash little people with a giant hand!

"Ayo, Ima Shrek shits up!"

This was just some mindless fun. I've spent the most time playing this game than any I've rated so far. I loved the upgrades. My only gripe is the spawn and lack of enemies in some areas. Here I am with the best weapon upgrade and nothing to kill. Sad monster.

Really fun game. The combo system with the building was very cool and the level system was very nice.

Nice destructible environment, there. While the game does a great job making me feel powerful, the lack of threat makes it a bit hard to have fun with. A super-easy game isn't always fun, and this game felt like it could use a monster or two to counteract with the ogre. It's very polished, though, and I do like the level system a lot.

Enjoyable game - felt like there could have been more urgency / pacing to keep the game fresh but overall fantastic job!

A really great game that kept me playing way more than I expected to. The progression system worked really well, though for the sake of the jam I wish I could've gotten more powerful, faster. Either way, great game, might be my favorite so far.
