Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle strikes on Friday the 13th of April

Slayaway Camp

A killer puzzle game where you control Skullface, a psycho slasher bent on slaughtering camp counselors at the title campground. Slide an adorable voxel murderer around hundreds of isometric puzzle levels to squash, flay, and decapitate hapless victims in this darkly comic homage to 80s horror.

I’ve never been into slasher flicks: gore for the sake of gore has a tendency to bore. Gore for the sake of enhancing a smart, top-down puzzle game about murdering cute bobble-headed civilians though? That I can get on board with.

Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle is the followup to Slayaway Camp, both from PopCap co-founder Jason Kapalka’s new studio, Blue Wizard. This time you’re explicitly playing as Jason Voorhees, which essentially makes this Slayaway 2: The Brandening. It’s coming out on Friday the 13th of April, because of course it is.
