Kill the Plumber

Admit it, a lot of your wanted Tom to get rid of Jerry for good so he would have more time to be a lazy selfish tomcat. It’s not uncommon for us to rout for the bad guy from time to time, even more so when he/she/it takes the form of a defenseless little critter.

So was the case in Mario, poor little Goombas. Their massacre stops with Kill the Plumber, a (puzzle) platformer in which you play as Mario inspired minions and your job will be to kill the famous character look-alike.

Kill the Plumber is a 2D platformer that gives you the chance to be the bad guy for a change. The game comes with several levels in which you have to figure out how to defeat the plumber before he escapes.

No two levels are the same and the solutions are always different between them. To kill the plumber you have to use a bit of brain power because a lot of the scenarios require precise positioning and movement, timing is crucial but so is skill.

In Kill the Plumber you won’t have just one character to play as. Every few levels you trade up for a new ‘hero’ that has different ways of stopping the plumber. From a simple goomba-ish character you get to be a stone block that can be dropped on the hero or you can be a bomb and just self-destruct when the plumber is near.

Having this diversification is a really nice feature because it prevents the game from having repetitive gameplay and it constantly keeps refreshing the challenges as you go.

On a closing note, Kill the Plumber is a really nice casual game that’s worth playing. It puts a good spin on things for those who enjoy Mario and Mario inspired games. It’s also a bit tough but always pleasant to play, especially since you can be the big bad final boss.
