After some careful thought I have come to the conclusion that Fairy Fantasy was not goign to be fun to play. As being fun to play is a critical part of any game I have decided to move to a new idea.

Viking rampage is a cross between and Action Adventure game and a match three puzzle game. An action adventure with lots of action and a scoring system that basically takes the match three idea and puzzle games bonuses and combos.

In Viking Rampage the player controls a Viking who has landed in a hostile land and must kill as many sheep as possible, because as everyone knows Vikings just hate sheep. As the level starts a Viking boat will drop the Viking off at one edge of the map and the Viking must do his war and destruction before the boat leaves the other end of the screen.

Other people and enemy soldiers will try and protect their sheep and chase the Viking away. The Viking scores points every time he kills a sheep, or enemy soldier, but loses points when he kills innocent civilians. Bonus points and combos can be collected based on the color of the sheep he kills and various other effects such as the number of burning farm houses there are when he kills a sheep.

Various pickups across the map will give certain benefits such as boots of speed or special armor against arrows. Some items will also give bonus scores and even slow down or back up the boat giving the Viking extra time in the enemy village.
