Bloody Fun Day is a strategic arcade game where players control the Reaper as he ploughs his way through little critters. Everytime Death sticks his scythe into one of the creatures, he gains points but loses health. Destroying red creatures will bring his life back up.

Each set of creatures killed leave behind eggs which need to be left alone to hatch into even more critters. Building up points also gives Death special abilities which can be activated in order to grab even more points. It's all about bagging as many points as possible before you run out of life.

The game mechanics work really well and it's a very nice concept. There's a tutorial to get you going and a couple of game modes to choose from. Play it over at Kongregate.

it's a great game

Wow... Incredibly fun and addicting. I had a lot of fun planning my next few moves attempting to string together combos and powers to reach a bigger high score.

I got really lucky one time, there were two red groups separated by a LONG line of some other color. I used the power that randomly changes a groups color on the long group and it turned into red! I then used the power that doubles the souls and got 36 health! Too bad your health maxes out at 40.

Great game, it's a lot of fun.

This is a fantastic game. A nice thinking puzzle. And the style is very well done. Good work!

It is fun, too bad it seems a lot about luck. The placement of reds can really screw you over.

There is a good bit of luck involved, which may make it frustrating. HOwever, once you realize the only penalty for breaking an egg is -2 points and one less cutie on the next hatch you stop worrying about it, especially when you start getting some golden eggs and that point penalty becomes meaningless (the -1 cutie might make a difference though)

Very addictive, but I'm just not good enough to get the 100,000 score.
