Story:

"He's back and they've given him a giant mallet!!"
The streets of your once clean Fluffysville have suddenly become mean and dirty with the recent influx on horrid gangs from the nearby Meansville.
Mothers and babies are afraid to go out on the street (well the smart ones anyway) and there's even been some ruckus at the Post Office on pension day .
Your mission is to get out there and kick those gang dudes into next week - that'll teach 'em a  lesson!



Gameplay

Well there's not really all that much to it (sadly).
Use the cursor keys (or the classic QAOP) to navigate your way across Fluffysville and SPACE/CTRL to attack.
If you have the mallet, you can use ENTER to switch between mallet and fist.
Kill dudes for points and avoid mothers with prams (or you'll lose points).

Look out for the gang's boss!



Other Stuff

For no reason at all, there seems to be a disembodied Speccy floating around the streets of Fluffysville.
To use, position yourself close and press down.
