## What is Total Party Kill?

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!

### 5/5 — Best Game on the App Store

*2026-02-18, version 1.0.4*

I’ve been playing this game off and on for a number of years and I have to say this is by far the most fun I’ve had with any App Store game I’ve played. The design is so simple but the idea is so good. Well worth playing. The only thing that sucks about it is that it’s over and I’ve finished all the levels.

A very original and striking idea to make a game in such an unusual way. 
The game is played in one breath in a couple of hours. 
I would like more levels…
