Things do get tougher in the later “chapters,” but the learning curve works wonderfully, and even when Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle attacks players with mazes that seem as if they offer an overwhelming amount of options, there are subtle visual clues that the now-trained mind can pick up on. These mechanics will then eventually be toyed with, playing on expectations and twisting them delightfully.
Stages are expertly designed to take advantage of this system, wading gently into the bloody havoc at first while introducing new wrinkles - like telephones, turn limits, and warp stations - in near-tutorial fashion. Luckily, any mistakes can be easily overcome by the unlimited ability to rewind each move, or enact a quick restart entirely. Like the unstoppable force that he is, there is no way to control the character once he is moving, and momentum will win out until he hits a wall, a trap, or a victim. Don’t let the hockey mask and blank stare fool you, though - this kind of butchery is going to require some brains.įor those unfamiliar, the key to solving Killer Puzzle‘s various stages lies in finding the correct sequence in which to slide Jason across each grid-like map. Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle puts players in charge of one of the most infamous movie murderers of all time as he plots his way through over 150 isometric maps, leaving a trail of cartoonishly dismembered bodies in his bloody wake.
After nailing the concept of a splatter-filled slide puzzler with their homage to cheesy 80s slasher flicks, Slayaway Camp, developer Blue Wizard Digital returns to the same unholy grounds, this time replacing their generic Jason Voorhees stand-in with the real deal. Good horror villains always come back, and thankfully so do killer game ideas.
