      Shrek SuperSlam is a fighting game featuring characters from the Shrek series of films.

      Overview

      Shrek SuperSlam is 3D multiplayer fighting game. The game features three multiplayer modes: "King of the Hill", "Melee", and "Slammageddon".

      In "King of the Hill", the object of the game is to stay atop of a hill the longest, while opponents try and knock each other off. The first player to reach 30 points wins. The longer the player stay on the hill, the more points she/he receive. In "Melee", the objective is to earn as many slam points within a 2-minute time period. For attack, a word bank that says "Slam" will fill up. Once the bank has filled up, the player can unleash a Slam Attack which can hit multiple opponents. For each opponent who's hit, the player will receive a Slam Point, but if a player get slammed, they'll lose one. The player with the most slam points after the time limit stops wins. In "Slammageddon", each single attack counts as a Slam. But, if a player manage to get a 'Max Slam Juice' potion in Slammageddon match and hit the opponent(s) with your slam, nothing happens.

      Every character has a "Slam" attack. Slams all have different effects. For example, Shrek's Green Storm attack will send his opponents flying as he undergoes flatulence and Pinocchio's nose extends and he flies towards enemies in an attempt to strike them.

      Competitive scene

      The competitive scene for Shrek SuperSlam began to pick up in the first half of 2015, small tournaments and streams began happening with the community trying for the game to be promoted and picked up, as well beginning to develop a meta, tier list and legal stage list. In June 2015, a comment thread on subreddit for Super Smash Bros. began to bring lots of new members into the Super Slam community.
