Some foolish adventurers have stumbled into your cave. Place traps to kill them all!

Goal: Kill all the humans in each level. Place traps to kill the humans, or even reorder how they come out. Once you are prepared, click play to see them march out to their death. If they somehow avoid your devious plans, hit stop and try again.

Trap Tab: X to delete traps. Click on a trap, then click in the field to place.
Hero Tab: See the "heros" that will arrive. Drag them to change their order.
Run Tab: Click play to start the hero's arrival. Press stop to reset the map to rearrange your traps.

Some levels are fairly challenging. The different types of humans have different AIs, so try to figure them out. Learning the physics of the game is important too.

Note: This was intended for the compo, but I wanted to add more levels.

Nice. You added a lot of levels. I'm surprised by how difficult I found this game.

Quite cool; nice idea. I did find the difficulty ramped up very quickly, though - from a few very easy levels to one I got completely stuck on! It's probably something simple I'm missing, but that's often the way.

I really liked this! Once I learned how the different people reacted (the guys venturing away from bloody spikes became a pain), I really got into the puzzles.

I love the mechanics and challenge! I manage to get to the level with a lava, how do you pass that when you are given no traps? is this a bug? Anyhow, great game and nice dialogs.

Great game! I like the puzzle mechanic. The levels were difficult but fun to try and figure. I didn't realize I could use arrows to scroll the map at first, derp. Glad you took the extra time to add more levels!

Very cool idea and refreshingly difficult. Nicely done!

Amazing how simple systems can combine to make such complex puzzles!

A very nice little game.

cute pixel art and good concept! i'm struggling a lot with this third (i think?) puzzle but i'm sure my brain just isn't working right now

Nice execution, simple mechanics to create some complicated puzzles eventually.
Novel little pixel art and opening too.

Cool little game, like the idea but a bit too challenging for me.

Good puzzle game! But I can't beat second level after second dialogue.
I like it anyway =)

Really enjoyable puzzle game. I kept playing until I reached a level where I was given no traps at all so all I could do was watch and notice that there was a single survivor. Might be missing something but I can't seem to move any existing traps so assumed this was the end. It would be nice to have more types of traps. Found a couple of the puzzles were tied a bit too much to understanding the AI.
