Something BIG is coming!

Guess what?… A multiplayer mode is under development! Yes, a MULTIPLAYER mode!

It can be surprising to talk about ‘multiplayer’ when you know KTBG, but it’s the reality and it will come very soon.
You will experience a completely new game mode and it will be a FREE UPGRADE for KTBG.

We will detail soon what the multiplayer mode of KTBG is, and we will start a Beta test where everybody who wants to help is welcome. Stay tuned, and before then: have a nice Xmas and a happy new year!

“This is a game about killing, but it's a fun, lightweight game about killing that mostly succeeds by blending cunning logic- and physics-based puzzles with a great sense of humor.”
7/10 – Gamespot

“While it’s not right to seek vengeance (Romans 12:19), as a parent, I don’t mind letting a tree fall over and kill this guy.”
80% – ChristCenteredGamer

“Si vous voulez un puzzle game joli (épuré, mais joli), sanglant, marrant et conséquent (les niveaux bonus sont vraiment chouettes), Kill the Bad Guy est un bon achat.”

About This Game

Does everyone deserve a second chance? Can crimes ever be forgotten? Hiding behind the mask of the average man on the street, and furtively blending into the background, many war criminals, ex-Mafia members and other criminals have been literally getting away with murder, or worse. That is, until you turned up to ruin the party. As part of a secret and mysterious society whose members have sworn to rid the world of these Bad Guys, it’s your responsibility to make sure justice is served in the bloodiest possible way, using your unpredictability to your advantage.

Track the Bad Guys, be brutal and smart in your planning, and eliminate them one by one. But bear this in mind: each criminal’s death has to look like an accident. In each level, you’ll have the chance to splatter and destroy the Bad Guy using various weapons and traps. It’s up to you to make sure he ends up in the wrong place at the right time.

In this ingenious puzzle game in which physics plays an essential role, you’ll need to keep a cool head and your wits about you. Show no mercy as you set out to kill the Bad Guy!

“Until your mission is accomplished we don’t exist. If you fail, you’ll be the only person at fault, and we’ll deny ever knowing you.”

Features
TRACK YOUR TARGET in 60 levels, each one more original than the last, and unlock 6 completely off-the-wall bonus levels.
USE YOUR IMAGINATION as you take out the criminals one by one. Find the opportune moment to act, and make it as bloody as you can!
BECOME THE AMBASSADOR OF DEATH and make full use of all the different traps available. Sabotage vehicles, transform daily objects into deadly weapons, or combine different elements in order to create new ones.
WORK IN THE SHADOWS. Don’t draw attention to yourself. Cameras, pedestrians, cops and the Bad Guys’ bodyguards mustn’t suspect you. No one should ever doubt that these deaths are anything but unfortunate accidents.
TRY, TRY AND TRY AGAIN as you take advantage of the game’s replay feature. Get the top score, fulfil the secondary objectives, find new ways to kill each Bad Guy, and work on your murder skills.
SOCIAL SHARING. Show off your killing prowess and achievements to your friends, and prove that you are the world’s top justice seeker.

The concept is neat, but each scenario is samey, and difficulty is derived from trial and error that comes from floaty and kinaesthetically displeasing physics. Menus are fine, and the visual style is neat, but audio is best muted. Kill The Bad Guy is about figuring out exactly what the developer wants you to do, and no deviation from this course is permitted. Don't let me completely dissuade you, though - if you're genuinely interested, download the demo before you buy. I'm sure there's some audience out there for this, but I am clearly not it.

Although there is a lot of blood and killing, this game is really a pretty tricky puzzle game. There is very limited freedom in your options how to kill the guy, most often an obvious and a less obvious solution. But when you solve it it's very satisfying to see the guy splattered all over a wall, floor, car, whatever.

The puzzles can be pretty challenging and sometimes a bit unclear. To fully complete a puzzle you probably need to retry it a few times, especially to get the second objective. Which can be a bit annoying.

+ Original style / gameplay
+ Splatter bad guys all over the place
+ Lots of puzzles
+ Dark humor

- Puzzles can be a bit unclear
- Obnoxious soundtrack in menu (personal)
- Pricetag a bit high

All in all a funny puzzler with a very original style.

I really like this game, and I’m not sure why.
From the moment you boot it up, Kill the Bad Guy looks, feels and plays just like a mobile game. The interface is blatantly designed for a touch interface, the art is minimalistic but in a way that looks like it was only made that way to run on mobile hardware, and the levels are your typical “get x number of stars”. If you judge it by it’s cover, Kill the Bad Guy is just another shoddy mobile port trying to cash in on Steam.
Yet it’s not. It’s really fun! Each level you must assemble a Rube-Goldberg type trap on the fly in order to kill a designated bad guy. It is certainly nothing complicated or revolutionary but I really have been enjoying my time with it.
Pick it up for a buck or so and you won’t be disappointed.

A really neat little puzzle/strategy game, with multiple ways to complete the objective of, unsurprisingly, killing the bad guy. To give you an idea of its quality as a time-waster, I've only given it two play sessions and am somewhere around level 60.

Most of the 'bad guys' are based on real people or famous fictional characters, including Saddam Hussein, Freddie Kreuger and even Oscar Pistorius. It's kept fresh by the addition of obstacles to getting your target such as roving witnesses, security cameras and bodyguards who also need to be taken out.

The only frustration I've encountered has been in the emphasis on making a lucky shot with a spear shot from a makeshift ballista or with a box falling from the roof of a building. You can spend a good long while planning your moves, only to have them scuppered by the fixed perspective making it incredibly difficult to tell where you shot will go. These occurrences are few and far between, however, and you can speed up time and restart instantly to quell the anger they conjure.

This is a cool, slick, puzzle game that reminds me, in a way, of something like World of Goo. Except a lot bloodier.

It is heavily based on physics, because the goal is to create elaborate Rube Goldberg style traps that "accidentally" kill the current target. You get extra points for being particularly inventive, and if you get caught then you lose the round.

This is a fun, [darkly] whimsical and cynical game. One of those that you'll fire up intending to only play for 15 minutes and then end up spending 3 hours at.

A very different approach to a puzzle game, I like it. Its different in a good way.

U basically play as a god controlling the props to kill your target which is the badguy...cuz its in the title. U KIll The Bad Guy.

The puzzles are sometimes challenging but fun, I enjoy it very much.

However, challenging puzzle can be quite confusing sometimes as it is not very clear in objectives. The soundtrack can be better, and personally the menu music is...well, can be different. =m=

I think this game would be great if its on the touch screen consoles. It would work very well.

7/10

So let me just say that I LOVE THIS GAME. Here is why I love it. It requires thinking, has a very good sense of humor that is dark and quirky. Basically there are 66 levels, (possibly more for all I know) which has a sort of angry birds type of system, where every level you try to complete the object (kill the bad guy) and earn all the stars, (five to six for each level.) You must kill the bad guy in each level by making it look like an accident and trying not to get caught by civilians, police, cameras, or the target himself. It's very much a puzzle game, where you must think of a way to kill your target with what the level presents you. I feel like this game is sort of speaking out with how our government treats criminals, by treating them better than they deserve, when really they just be killed rather than try to weasel out of their consequences and live peacefully under government protection. Lastly the music, the music is also pretty good, surprisingly. It's alot of fun and definetely worth the 15 dollars.

+ Stylish graphics
+ Fun to kill targets in all kinds of different ways
+ Plenty of scenarios

+/- Certain traps can only be placed on certain spots, no complete freedom
+/- Pathfinding problems can result in frustration; not always clear where a target will go to when he's alerted or when a trap is placed in front of him

- Secondary objectives not always clear
- Collecting teeth is an useless objective which hardly requires any effort
- The music, oh my god, the music
