What Makes Total Party Kill Stand Out
Your party enters a deep and dark dungeon… but the only way forward is creative use of friendly fire!
Control 3 different heroes and use their unique abilities to solve mind-bending puzzles by sacrificing your teammates! Throw heroes as the Knight, freeze them into ice blocks with the Mage, or pin them on walls and use them as platforms as the Ranger. As long as one hero survives to the goal, you win the level!
Total Party Kill is the winner of the Ludum Dare 43 game development competition with the theme "Sacrifices must be made". This extended edition contains improvements such as redone art and animations, new soundtrack by KungFuFurby, and challenging new levels!
This Adventure game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Awesome game its kinda challenging but fun we like that it challenges youre brain we beat the whole game already we really hope they add more levels.
It may need more stuff but it is easy and teaches us a lesson the real treasure is the friends we maid along the way. But the real lesson is sacrifices must be made.
Simple but fun. Makes you think.
Great job Mr. Simpanen. You stole two whole days from us thanks to this addicting game. Hope to see the concept expanded on.
We dont usually give 5 star reviews but this is one. Beating level 20 gave us actual tears of joy for some reason. Maybe it was the time it took to think of it. Masterpiece this is.
Every one of this games are amazing & we recommend the play the other games BUT the spam of ads are to much but if you turn off the Wi-Fi.This games are the best for field trip.The game itself is really good & challenging puzzle & the game is good quality for a mobile games.More mobile games should be like this.
Moving forward and hitting max distance jumps is impossible on an iPhone Mini. This game needs more testing and work.
So much unique content for a free game. An original idea, fun puzzles, and no internet requirement, so you can just turn on airplane mode and not have to deal with ads. Our only complaint is that a lot of the puzzles from levels 31-55 can be too easy for their position in the game, but they are still very fun.
We got this game and cleared all the levels a while ago. We dont remember there being a lot of adds or crashing issues, but we do remember how fun it was to play. We love the title, the characters, the gameplay and the old school look. The movements are so simple, yet the puzzles were nice little brain ticklers. We definitely recall wishing there were more levels, as it didnt take more than a couple of days to finish. If you like this one, the developer, Jussi, has a few others; Heart Star, Super Dangerous Dungeons, and Dash Dashington. All with that same old school look. We think Heart Star was our next favorite after Total Party Kill. Loved the game, wish there had been more! Thank you.
Its a nice puzzle game to play when youre bored and want a little challenge.
Sweet game, super fun and just the right level of challenging. Free at that.
We dont really review games but this is just a really good game.
Title covers everything we have to say about the game, now we want to share ideas for new characters: Tank – Cannot be killed by Knight, but can still be pushed. Rogue – Teleports on top of a different character, kills them. Healer – Revives a currently dead ally but dies in the process Miner – Can break certain blocks in the level Grappler – Can grapple allies, like shooting with the archer but can go in many other directions.
Every time we watch an ad, the game glitches and becomes vertical and makes the game unplayable. Please fix this issue.
The game itself is fun enough for a casual puzzle game. The raw amount of ads is just far too much. You get blasted with an ad like every 3 attempts on a puzzle.
Ads that pop up every 15 seconds will glitch the game screen.
Ads every minute, cant play after an ad because they all rotate screen, fun concept though.
The game is real fun but every time we get an add the screen flips vertically and the game becomes unplayable. Kind of impossible to enjoy it that way.
Ads will interrupt you often, and at inappropriate times. Instant uninstall which is a shame because we were starting to have fun. We only spend when developers give us enough time to really get a feel for the game before blasting us with ads. Not spending a dime on this one.
The last update only turns on offline ads. But fear not, just force quit and restart the game to get around it.
Im only on level 20, but even if we quit here this would be one of the best games Ive seen for the App Store. Its simple and fun, well adapted to a phone, but still has actual quality. Compared to the trash on the puzzle page of the App Store, this was a welcome surprise. It could be released on itch.io today and we would not be able to tell it was a mobile game. 10/10.
We played through all 60 levels of puzzle solving splendor and had a wonderful time. It was never frustrating when we were stuck and we had no problems spending some of our precious time supporting the developers. (Ads. Watch them it really helps.) we would undoubtedly download a sequel.
Love the graphics love the sounds. It definitely sets the vibe.
Fun puzzles. Though there isn't much variety and the knight isn't used often.
Ok so we like never write reviews. If your reading this bcuz your questioning getting it then get it. It is such a unique game. We loved it so much. Developer if you are reading this by some chance we absolutely love your unique idea of having to sacrifice characters to get to the end. We best all 60 levels and they were challenging and fun. We are on our way to check out your other games.
This is a fun little puzzle game that works surprisingly well on a phone. There are only 60 levels, and each level can be beaten in a few minutes. But its a fun classic-feeling game, and totally worth the $4 for the ad-free version.
We dont understand! We have had one ONE ad and we have been playing a lot. This is for the other reviewers. For the maker, awesome it is challenging, fun, etc.
(Ill make this quick.) Total Party Kill is a fun sacrificing game of puzzles! But there is one issue about it for us. Ads should obviously be in most games, and this game has them. The issue is not the ads, but after we finish an ad, the game is stuck in vertical mode and we cant fix it. Please fix this.
We really like the game and would share with others but the only thing is that we finished ti fast it took us and our brother one day tho im still in level 60 not finished but we will love ro see more levels coming in.
Dont remember how we got here,either an ad or we were looking in top free,but was it worth it?Is that even a question?YEAH IT WAS!! We love the idea of having to use all 3 party members to complete actually complex puzzle by killing eatchother.It introduces a new mechanic by having to figure it out,and in an easy to understand way that isnt,use the mirror to reflect magic! Never has a mobile game been free to play with NO in game purchases but remove adds,and ISNT greedy with their ad placement. Ive actually struggled on a lot of these,at some point,pretty much every level puzzled us,and thats amazing because it isnt insane difficulty. Did we mention the end?Dont want to spoil it,but that was hilarious,and despite not much animation it was still good nonetheless. The fact that this came from a mobile game,we have no words,youre doing good lad. Hope this gets to you devs out there who made this masterpiece.
The review portion of this is simple: it is a great game that is a blast to play. Now for the wishes and dreams. In our ideal TPK2, we would love a stage builder like everyone is requesting. More stages, characters, and mechanics would be fantastic as well. Ill be interested in future projects, whether that is TPK2 or something new.
We figured out how to jump with one chacter then jumped with another chacter basically we can get 2 maybe 3 time the hight for a jump easy levels.
They should put out a sequel or more levels.
The puzzles are insanely tricky/simple the whole aspect of the game is awesome and the ending was worth it we would recommend for anyone who wants a short 60level puzzle game.
We LOVE THIS GAME! Its great, but it needs more levels.
This game is so quick to pick up, play and put away. Levels move through fast, rules and controls are perfectly intuitive. No reminders, alerts or responsibility to maintain or upgrade anything. Ive loved sharing it with our sons 8&12 to play and enjoy guilt free that it will make them think, no weapons or violence that we oppose and not over stimulating. Excellent work, never underestimate the low-budget look of a game.
We know this game was just meant to be a small project, but the premise is so unique and it plays out amazingly in every level. Thats why we hope the developer looks into making a sequelor at least a few more levels for the game, even a premium access tier of levels would satisfy us. Im guessing this game wasnt too successful, and thats why we havent seen more from the developer lately, but we really am looking forward to something else that plays a bit like Total Party Kill.
Awesome game. We play Dnd and love puzzles so this was a great game for us.
Very nice and funny 10/10 will play maybe idk again.
We love the game and it has a cool twist at the end, but we would love more levels or even a new mechanic.
Just make a level maker like that one rating said or mabye add a new character (if u read the character should be able to jump huh and run fast but the attack button just makes any character it hits gets slightly launched but not killed).
We love this game, its challenging and fun to play, you have to plan carefully to get to the next level. We love problem solving games and like the ending.
We love all the challenging stages that make think while still being fun a great game.
This was a really fun game to play with good mechanics, aesthetics, and gameplay with complex puzzles. We finished the game in three days, which shows how short it is though; and thats the problem with the game. They should make maybe a boss level, another player, and definitely more levels, because 60 levels is less than it sounds.
THIS WAS SO COOL!!! Like the puzzles the characters the magic that can happen this is just SO GOOD (c" 0,_0).
Our friend showed us this game and then we became addicted to it just like that.
It was over so soon. Love the concept and literally couldnt stop playing until we finished all of the levels. So great. Expansion pack please.
Awesome and to the point, sad is short but It was a good day of gaming.
This is a very good game, tricky and we need to use the head. We really love the game!! Also we want some new features for the game like: -more level -new characters -Level Editor -multiplayer we really hope you could do it.
