Performance improvements and bug fixes
This game nailed a deadly combo of engaging, challenging, interesting puzzles with over-the-top horror and graphic violence. Granted, said violence is in the form of cartoony block characters, so it’s a sickening twist of comically cute gore. As a pretty “old” gamer, this adult themed game reminds me of the Wii game Madworld, which ended up sucking because the game itself was extremely repetitive and too boring for the gore to save it. Slayaway Camp instead is a great game packaged in a gory case. It will keep the most serious of us puzzlers occupied for hours and give us a few giggles and satisfying Mortal Kombat type finish moves along the way. The gameplay reminds me of my favorite mobile game of all time, King Rabbit, with cute murderers rather then cute bunnies. If you like this or that, you will like the other. I’ve never felt so guilty busting a smile or chuckle once in a while. What a game. Well done developers! Update: Still loving this. I was afraid the variety would end and the game would get boring after the first few camps. Wrong! You have to play to appreciate, but the police, telephones, swat team people, and light switches make the puzzles practically limitless. The cats are my favorite - game is about killing people, but touch or drown a cat and you’re busted for animal cruelty. This game = epic!
In a world where most puzzle games are a variation of Candy Crush (which is really a variation of Tetris,) it’s refreshing to see something completely different, especially if you’re a fan of horror films. Not only is the main game strategy based, and with no shortage of levels and playable characters, but there’s also the “Faces of Killed” sub game which is more of a mindless time waster. And while I’ve had this app for a while, I never got around to rating it, however, the recent induction of Bob as a playable character was epic enough that I had to finally do so.
UPDATE review for updated game. Holy cow this game just keeps getting better. Developer just added more free levels and they rock. Slayaway camp is a hoot. It's just a puzzle game but the hilarious way it's presented is the best part. Even when you fail it's a joy hearing the closing credit song and seeing the credits roll. Different cast just about every time lol. It pokes fun at all those silly 80's slasher movies we grew up on in a way that makes me want to see them all again. Levels are presented in an old video store style that’s so funny.
First off, I love the new update. I’ve always wanted to play the Santa’s Slay levels but couldn’t be bothered to download the Steam version, and the new NC-17 stuff is great as well, but there is a problem. I’ve always loved the VHS boxes, as they have always been fun to read, but now when I tap them, they just exit out of the VHS. Is that supposed to happen? Is that just a new part of the game? Also I can’t buy the Street Sweeper in the shop
When I first saw this game which was around 3 or 4 years ago, I bought it and had a lot of fun with it! I had to buy some solutions but most of them were really fun and not too difficult. I loved beating the levels and watching the after level death scene. I really hope this game gets featured somewhere else on a bigger platform or advertiser. Good Job with this and please make a second game!
If you're an 80's slasher fan, this game hits every trope in the funniest way possible. I like that it has a not gory PG setting that you can switch back and forth, so if your kids (or nieces, nephews, younger siblings, sensitive cats, whatever) want to play, you can turn off the gore and hand it over. For adults though, leave it on the R seeing for maximum hilarity!
These puzzles are intense and they'll tie your brain in knots, but solving them is so satisfying. The movie references and goofy humor are a big plus but buy it for the puzzles! So let's talk about the elephant in the room... the trendy "blockcraft" graphics are awful and they drag the game down. It's hard to figure out what's going on in some of the animations. Thankfully the puzzles have an overhead view to help you sort out the more congested levels.
Yes, my title says “5-Star Game”, but I’ve dropped it a star with my rating. This in ONLY because the game needs an iPhone X screen size update. It quickly becomes frustrating to load an app/game with so much unused screen space. The game itself is an incredibly awesome puzzle game, with great graphics and perfect sounds to accompany. Gameplay is simple, yet finding the solutions to the puzzles is far from easy.
The 80s slasher flicks of Halloween, Friday the 13th, and others are a great juxtaposition for a block sliding puzzle game.
