Hear Ye, Hear Ye...

Hear Ye, Hear Ye... The Queen needs a new swimming pool. The King calls upon you, The Black Knight, to go hither and bash as much taxes as possible from thy freeloading peasants.
Bash thy King's peasants and objects to collect as much taxes as possible. Use the powered up swing and weapon upgrades to extract even more taxes per bash.
Each level the King tells you how much taxes you must collect. You must meet his whim by the level's end or you will be fired. What's an unemployed BK to do?

Mouse Button or Spacebar - Press to swing.
Hold down to powerup for big swing.
