If you have somehow not played this game, what the fuck are you doing? PLAY IT. IT IS SO GOOD. Even in it's unfinished state, Kill The Guy is an effectively full length adventure game with many puzzle elements and gimmicks that all work to the game's advantage and truly give the player a sense of progression that other games WISH to replicate. Everything about this game is amazing and flows incredibly well. Doing any save in this game felt like I was overcoming a completely fair challenge. Nothing in this game feels too hard or too easy, and while the engine is different and the kid plays differently from all normal fangames, it works to the game's advantage and makes the experience even better. 10/10 in every category. One of the few fangames I would pay money for.

Kill the Guy is a classic copied by many other fangames for very good reasons. Dating from an era where flash games were still the rage, you can feel a lot of that energy coming through here in the story, the UI, the overall content: there's a ton of "whatever the maker felt like making at that moment" and I wouldn't have it any other way. And while it may be all over the place, it never fails to excel at what it's doing, and I find myself comparing a lot of modern platforming to what this game offers and this game wins every time. The only real downside is 30fps can take a bit of getting used to, but it's worth it. Highly recommended.

Rating based on version 0.52 100%, which includes collecting every coin and rupee, every trial challenge, and unlocking every chest. Hardest thing was the stage 3 follow the mouse trial, which took me around 2.5 hours.

An absolutely quintessential fan game and a game I would recommend as the immediate first fan game to play following the original IWBTG. It's a shame it was never finished but even just being unfinished its quite long and at times pretty challenging.

Highlights include the Ukigumo opening, the great music choices, the unique gimmicks in platforming, enemies and puzzles alike - and who could forget what probably brought a lot of us here DJ SRAY, the kickass optional boss combining Space Channel 5 with Cave Story in a rhythm boss so iconic it would end up getting a revival with the Friday Night Funkin' mod "Funk the Guy" . Beyond that famous fight, there's equally as fun and frustrating fights against the likes of Pac-Man, Exor a Piranha Plant and of course Boshy . Though unfortunately, the final boss Geezer while pretty cool, does lead to a bit of a deflating ending due to the game remaining unfinished.

Despite all of that, this is forever going to remain part of the fan game Hall of Fame. It's more than earned it's rating over the years, and if you haven't already played it - do so!

This game is truly a gem and it is the best game of it's time by a wide, wide margin. This has been a shaper of all fangames with some of the most iconic bossfights of all time and a really unique feel to it.

The elephant in the room is that this game is unfinished. This is really heartbreaking, as the first 4 chapters, for what was finished of them, was some of the most promising and fun gameplay I've had the joy to go through.

I wish so hard this story could reach it's conclusion and knowing the amazing things geezer could accomplish with this project, but I feel it's important to say something far more important than my wishes with this fangame: Geezer's obviously not been motivated to finish this. While I have literally no say in this community nor am I able to, please don't harass him for neither this game, nor Not Another Needle Game 2. He is a human being and if you were pressured to finish these games when you didn't want to, regardless of if you could or not, you would suffer.

So please let's enjoy what's here without making a big deal out of what could've been.
