Lol first and probably only review on here for this game. Kill The Plumber is a cute little indie title that I randomly bought when I was like 12, played for 20 minutes and never touched again for 8 years. The idea of reverse Mario is actually really cool and has more potential than the game takes it to. I thought it was kinda amusing that the game frames him as a creepy stalker desperately trying to get the princess and killing anything in his way. Playing the different "enemies" and using their abilities to solve puzzles is unique and fun. Its nice that on a lot of the levels there are different ways of beating it. The game is generally fairly easy, but there were random levels with difficulty spikes that I think were just poorly designed. I could finish most of the stages in under a minute but there was the random one or two that straight up took 20 minutes. This was because some of the levels were janky and designed to just barely be able to be beaten in time. I'm talking frame-perfect jumps and trial and error. It took away a lot of the fun and soured some of my overall enjoyment. Also, not sure what I was expecting, but the final level felt very anticlimactic. It felt like any other level, and I didn't even know it was the last one until it was over. I do appreciate the extra levels that they offer for more content, though I do not see myself coming back to it. The kind of game you play once for a few hours at most, and never touch again. Maybe could recommend this game if it is on sale, but playing it through a browser is probably a better than spending a couple bucks.
