About AAARGH!

AAARGH! is an arcade style game where players control either an ogre or a dragon. The objective is to find a special egg hidden inside one of the island's buildings, which is said to grant superpowers.

To locate the egg, the chosen creature must demolish structures using its unique physical attack. The ogre rams with its horn, while the dragon swings its tail. During this search, humans operating catapults pose a threat and must be dealt with to avoid losing energy, though health can be restored by finding food.

After the egg is found, the gameplay shifts to a one on one fight against the other creature. Victory in the overall game requires winning five of these consecutive battles.
