Amazing game, and acts a great intro for new players to see what a quality fangame should be.

The platforming isn't especially hard except for a few areas, with most of the difficulty revolving around learning the puzzles than execution. That said, the execution isn't necessarily easy. The only minor problem with the platforming (and the reason why this isn't a 10, is that the quality of some areas feel better than others. The third stage was the pinnacle of my enjoyment, and by the time the 4th stage rolled around I was somewhat disappointed that it wasn't as good.

The bosses, particularly the final boss of the third and fourth stage were some of the best bosses out of all the fangames I have played. The music was great, the mechanics were great, and it felt like an accomplishment when I beat them.

The production quality is top notch and the game itself is riddled with collectibles for the OCD.

TLDR: Great Game! A must play!

I really wish this game had been finished, because it could have been good. Instead, it's just a bug-riddled mess.

The platforming is largely decent, though often uninspired. The choice to use a custom engine is bizarre, it adds very little and just makes the platforming feel very clunky. The platforming near the end also introduces a horrible spotlight effect. I'm not exaggerating when I say this might be the worst use of spotlight I've seen. It adds nothing except making you do blind jumps and hiding objectives. As mentioned, the game is filled with bugs, such as a teleporter that kills you if you're using a skin. I would've loved to compliment all the unlockable skins, but since the game prevented me from using them they are unfortunately wasted.

The far bigger issue is the bosses. It's incredible how each new boss made me feel like I was experiencing a new low of fangame design. The first boss is almost okay, except for the fact that you only get 1 attack per phase, meaning I left the boss without experiencing most of it's attacks. After this though, the bosses are just horrendous. Each of them is jam packed with bugs. At some point I tried counting them, but I actually lost track due to each boss having 5+ bugs, many of which were attempt killing. Even if you weren't getting bugs, the bosses are simply not fun to play. They all have slow, boring, and long intros before getting to a harder part. The difficulty comes from having to learn annoyingly precise patterns, or getting lucky in frustrating RNG sections. This culminates in having to replay a slog of an opening every time, hoping you don't get a bug that ruins the attempt, and then dying to having to learn some new attack or getting bullshit RNG.

Ultimately, the game really just needed more time in the oven, and some playtesting passes. Most of the bugs I experienced seem hard to miss, it's really incomprehensible how they made it in and were never patched. The game really just feels like stages were rushed out without testing or polish, instead just getting to the next stage as quick as possible (further evidenced by one stage missing a boss that was never added). There really should have been some focus on making sure existing content was functional and fun before adding more.

Kill The Guy is one of those fangames which really just needs no introduction. It's so iconic, timeless despite never being finished, and poignant in it's brief runtime, that it's extremely easy to see why the game has the reputation it does. Extremely good and clever gameplay, combined with fun bosses makes for one of the most consistently enjoyable adventure games ever made even in the modern era. It ends abruptly, and is quite anticlimactic in many areas due it not being finished, but that doesn't matter much to me. What's here is top notch, and always will be. A pillar of the community for good reason.
