Kill or Kill is a game where you have to go about your daily routine while managing your urge to kill. On the surface you're an average joe, below the surface, you're completely nuts.
Controls:
- Arrow keys to move.
- Space to interact.
Space covers pretty much everything in the game, this includes talking to things(try talking to inanimate objects!), killing things, and dragging things.
Watch out for cops when you're on your spree! They can only see directly in the direction they're facing. They won't harm you when you're just doing chores.
Tips/workarounds to bugs:
- The hit areas around killed things can get a bit funky. So if you get stuck on a murder spree, get a cop to kill you!
- If you have trouble picking up the cat, go to it's left side and walk right up against the wall and then try to pick it up.
- Cops can shoot you pretty much once their gun is on screen. Your best bet is to watch the minimap very carefully. You can also kill cops when their back is turned!
- Billy can get stuck if you kill him right next to the ATM, wait for him to move into a more open area first.

I couldn't get it to work right... It was very glitchy and un-explanative
Only real frustration is the camera hanging behind the player when moving quickly...Otherwise, I love the mood and the dark humour.
Disturbing... ;) but the art style is amazing. Though i wasn't able to pick up the "stray cat".
Wow I was into it so much I actually jumped when I got shot... Excellent work.
HAHA great game! I was going to do something similar, but changed my mind. You implemented it well!
Very nice design for the title graphics - grabbed my eye on the game thumbnails page. Nice interpretation of the theme too. :)
Interesting take on the theme and liked the transition between 'normal' and 'beneath the surface' states.
The game is pretty interesting, though it's really easy to get shot by a poiceman off screen with no way to respond to it.
I'm just going to leave this saxophone riff playing forever, thanks.
Had me laughing out loud for real, nice work dude. I especially love the meta-dialogue of the guards XD
Fun but not liking how it resets all the way back to beginning when cops get you. Checkpoints would be nice.
I liked it! It was really funny. It did feel too slow, and then it was really annoying when I got almost all the way through and then had to start over, but it was pretty fun.
Wow! Such a dark game! haha! I managed to get the cat stuck between buildings, but apart from that enjoyed it!
This was fantastic, a great idea! Might have been nice to have the camera slightly farther out (I was using the minimap most of the time).
Great game! Phenomenal take on the theme, and great job on the music too!
Haha, awesome. Had fun playing it, the talking pick up items were great.
The music is amazing! Very nice game.
Btw, I wasn't able to pick up the guy by the ATM.
Heh, I like it! Not great music, and very funny, though it needs "reset from checkpoint" not "restart game"
Some sort of checkpointing would be great. The mood is perfect!
Gosh, THAT MUSIC!!! I just loved the music and the humor (dat mighty well)
well done, sir. Well done
where can I download that music??
Pretty fun little game. Reminds me a LOT of Postal II. I really liked the jazz music BTW ;)
This is pretty good, I think maybe having a range on the cops might make this a bit better but overall was great!
...interesting concept. The art style is good considering the timeframe, though the sudden shift from the mundane to the genuinely horrifying might come off as...jarring. The radar helps, though having a bit more of a field of vision would help, as well. Not bad.
Love the music and the humor! Couldn't quite figure out how to kill someone, but that's okay :)
when the dude changed to holding a knife, it kinda creeped me out. Very funny, and a really nice little game. Great job! :)
Wish there was some kind of checkpoint system, but it made it a lot more challenging. :)
Awesome! Great art style. I looooove the way you interpreted the theme into your game. Also, I got a kick out of it when you see your killer side for the first time.
Just an FYI, the player on the minimap seems to draw behind the buildings, not sure if intentional or not, but it looks kind of off.
Had a hard time getting it, but I liked the atmosphere. It would be nice if the game had some animations too.
Great art and music. Like the transition between killer and normal. Collision for picking things up was rough. Great job overall.
That was the most pleasant laundry basket i've ever talked to in a game.
The garbage bag needs to learn some manners, though. Nobody can boss me around like that.
I had a good time, the gameplay is simple but effective. Some of the collision areas were a bit tricky. I got taken down by the fuzz more times than I care to admit.
This game is nuts, great use of the theme! The camera could be a bit further from the player though, especially when dragging corpses. I kept getting killed by cops I could never see coming.
The cop kept catching me!!! :( I included your game in part 1 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out! http://youtu.be/2Ja__FAtoAQ
Agree with the others, checkpointing would be great. I stopped playing after my 2nd attempt at the cat just because I didn't want to do all the previous steps all over again :)
Great game !! I like the plot i would like to see it with better graphics but it works very well so it is a good game :)
Kind of octodad meets "Dexter", quite funny, made me laugh for a while. By the way, the art is great.
Like a sped-up Postal :p Bizarre but well presented. Music's ace too!
haha, had a nice time playing this. really good arts and the look on his face is awesome.
Wow, this one was awesome! I really like your use of the theme, the music was great and totally fit the mood :)
Good job :)
Fun game. I couldn't feed the cat to the ATM though. I guess I'm a bad serial killer.
Awesomely amazingly fantastic!
Impressive, nice looking and fun!
Really nice concept but picking up things is a bit difficult.
Overall an awesome entry !
Got stuck after hid the cat in the atm. love the title screen/name and the game's sense of humor.
That face when he has to kill !
I didin't understand everythin, killed maybe a bit too much people, but I liked it :D
Now, that was fun! Loved the art, too. Funny, the title made me think of Kill La Kill! I was watching it right before I started ludum dare :D Anyway, awesome game!
Well, as it turns out, I'm a monster. But on the plus side, at least I finished my chores.
Really enjoyed this. Actually ended up having to go on a massive killing spree BEFORE doing anything though, just to save myself the hassle of offing people later on and OH GOD I AM a monster.
pretty glitchy but the music and length/content/humor are great
Interesting game I'm guessing you went with a more psychological approach towards the theme. Good job.
Loved everything about it except the well wouldn't take Billy for some reason.
Damn those gunshots made me jump. Great game! Very dark humour but a great idea. Some improvements to be done on the camera but quite well done overall.
Wow. I really like the concept! It's basically dexter lite :P I must say when the cops take you out it's really quite harrowing. The way you start again from the beginning is a bit annoying but I guess the level is short enough that it's not a completely bad thing.
The mood is very good for something so... Light looking. The little easter eggs of references here and there are very cool too. Love it :)
Not sure if I'm allowed to walk through walls >_> Funny game though :)
Dexter the video game! had some issues with collision for the kill though that was a bit frustrating.
it said take out the thrash but when i am near it i dont know how to take it out
Great use of the theme! Really loved the writing and how eerily upbeat the music was lol.
The cat/ATM thing was an American Psycho reference, I hope! Cool concept, nice tunes throughout. Controls and hit boxes were a little clunky, but workable most of the time.
First entry I play that plays the psychological interpretation of the theme.
Controls are a bit clunky, but being a murderous psychopath felt so good I'm willing to forget it.
Dark and twisted, lack of animations were a bit of a downer but I still liked the overall graphical style. Starting over from the start basically killed it (pun intended) for me.
Very interesting approach. Game controls are simple and the music helps create the mood. Well done!
That is a weird way to carry a cat around!
Cool game. I like the way the music shifts when you have to kill things.
Hey ! We had the same idea about the theme ! cool and crazy :)
our game --> "May I help you"
Fun game, there was some problem with picking stuff up every now and then and the game get too easy if you kill the cops. Pretty well put together game.
@flavio: Great minds think alike! I'll check it out when I get home from work.
kind if sick kills you have to do, cool intro though. Bugged for me when I killed billy when I should kill the stray cat. Billy dissappeared once I had to kill him.
Creepy. And the sudden, disturbing shift in music (which is itself very good) helps this. Mechanics were a bit rough but it was most definitely engaging in its own sadistic way.
I'm struggling with the controls a little. The game is cool by the way!
Haha it's funny! American Psycho inspired I guess? Great interpretation of the theme!
The dark humor makes for an interesting twist on stealth games.
Bonjour! This is Rik from the CORE Games team, posting on Mith's account.
The dark humor was really solid and it was a good take on the theme, the music was fantastic, the transitions were great, and oh man...that graphic design on the title cards...probably my personal favorite part. Way cool.
My complaint is definitely that I seemed to have just been being arbitrarily shot by the police. Both times my game ended was what I assume was me being shot, but it was while doing the normal things. Officer please why. It's just laundry. Why did you kill me.
Great presentation, but a tad bit confusing. But overall, fantastic. Well done.
Love the concept and execution (literally). Pressing space on some objects isn't as responsive as it should be, and the goal arrow doesn't always point to where it should, but the game has a great feel to it. Well done.
I'm a bit stuck at the start, not sure to know what to do with this trash.
Nice mood and graphics!
Interesting take on the theme but I found your game too hard and confusing...
Stange little game, not sure about how it relates to the theme but it's really well put for only 48hrs!
when I first changed to "Mr. Hide" I killed everyone I could find MWHUAHAHAHAHAHAaaaa!
nice game ;)
Lovely black humor! I especially liked how it seems that he doesn't want to kill anything, but he just wants to carry out the wills of all those everyday things.
PS: No, YOU'RE a monster! :'(
Having to start the entire thing upon death (I thought there was no Die D:) is annoying. Other than that and the crummy gunshot sound, all is well. One of the few games I've played that actually has sound, and a more interesting take on the theme than most would dare to do. Also, the music is lovely.
This seemed pretty buggy, but it was still pretty fun, and I can see what the intent was which helps a lot. Overall, it's a well designed game that just seems to have had some hiccups in execution. If you plan to work on this more, I'd really like to see what it turns into with a bit more development.
holy f**k that smile on the murderspree part, not to play around with
Really enjoyable, fantastic art and please extend this some more!
I got hit a little too often by the police, maybe have a slightly larger mini-map. When playing the game you know exactly the police patterns but we don't so it becomes a little too much trial and error since there's very little time to get away when spotting police on the mini-map.
Great game, give me more murder!
Cool experience... After I read the description, I went to the cops first after I dropped the trash to see if you can turn yourself in ;)
Hilarious. Although I couldn't manage to sneak the cat back to the ATM.
Very unique game! Had trouble feeding that ATM. Loved the dark sense of humor. Well done.
Fanny game, the garbage told me to kill, so I did. Even the police. But there are too much security in this city to become a killer :D
I like how you cannot control it when suddenly turn into a blood thirsty monster!
The concept is disturbing and funny. If you polished up the issues relating to cop hitboxes during kill mode, that would make it a lot more fun and possible to play. Also, with no checkpoints, it got too annoying to keep retrying when I'd get killed by a cop (where it wasn't really my fault at all.) If those issues were addressed, I could see it being a pretty fun action puzzler.
Because carrying a body over the middle of the street is of course not noticed by anybody...
Great job, funniest game I have seen so far.
Great job! Loved the music and the theme. The only thing that kept me from finishing it was having to start all over from the beginning when I got shot, but I did retry a bunch so it wasn't bad.
Sorry you had a tech issue trying to play my game, I dunno why Unity player would refuse your input but I did see that happen to one guy who tested, he played in Chrome, no dice it ignored all inputs, then he played in FF, was fine, then Chrome again and was fine. Never managed to explain it!
Nice game! I just wish it was easier to move around without getting shot by a cop that's off-screen.
Haha, i like it freaky fringy, nice concept Dexter. And only 48h? Well done!
Ha, this is great! Love the artstyle and the music. And the kill-messages :D
Good game, it's very disturbing D:
The only downside is the camera, it can't let you see where are you going.
Nice work.
Not having to go back to the start for every time you are shot from off screen would be great though.
The combo of graphics, music and game for 48 hours work from scratch is pretty great.
The waypoint arrow didn't work for me on the "take the laundry to the laundromat" part.
Hah, this is really awesome in a really creepy way. Nice work!
That was a lot of fun. I started killing innocent people just because way to soon... Wonder what that means...
Ohh, the saxophone music made this game so funny. Good job, 5 star mood.
Good work! This game is pretty hard and I had a difficult time with certain mechanics. I found the cops a little bit too quick and it would be nice if they could only see things x pixels away as I often had a hard time slipping past them. The camera is a bit weird. Movement feels very good. Sounds and graphics are nice and suit this game well. Very frustrating, but in kind of a good way! Keep it up.
Great entry overall! A bit difficult with no real warning with cops coming, and frustrating to start over from the beginning. Great presentation and impressive in just 48 hours!
That was pretty fun. Aren't we all a little serial killer beneath the surface?
Just me? Oh.
That was dark and now I have guilt! I also have that music stuck in my head now :)
You must have worked non-stop to make this in 48 hours!
Great job!
Art style was cool, and the map was a good design choice, but some more mechanical flavor could have enhanced this game. Some minor collision / tigger issues with the interactions, but otherwise it all worked. well.
For folks who want more, there will be more! I'm planning on making a full Kill or Kill game with polish, new mechanics, animations, cops that can't kill off screen, and hit detection that isn't garbage.
Check this post out for the main character redesign:

Slick game. I enjoyed the dark humour and the overall mood despite me begin a cat lover... Texts are good. Good job.
Really clever use of the theme. Suddenly i feel like closing the browser and killing my upstairs neighbour.
Great game!!!
Best game so far :)
Realy liked it!
Full of humor and the mood was great.
I enjoyed :D
Wow, this game seriously scared the heck outta me, whenever the screen flashed white. Apart from that, it was really good, innovative, nice implementation of the theme, really well done!
Nice take on the theme, if a little disturbing. Like the graphics, shame there was no animation.
Controls are a little slippery. The concept is funny but needs a little tweaking IMHO. I love the music and the dark humor!
Hahaha this is awesome. Great visuals and audio, and very funny. Excellent usage of the theme. One feature that would have been nice is to not have to start over from the beginning after getting caught. Awesome job!
Ah ah, funny game. No, if you excuse me, my microwave need a cat.
Really fun game! The graphics are awesome, especially the deranged facial expression. Somewhat difficult to align yourself with objects to move around, but well worth it to avoid the fuzz. Excellent game!
Great idea and implementation. Like the dark humor! This kind of player's immersion is a sign of success ;)
There was a problem with holding the stray cat where he ended up walking backwards, not sure if this was intended or accidental, but it was fun to play and the music was great, as was the incredible art.
The walking backwards thing is something I put in for when you're "dragging" the garbage or a dead body. I just didn't end up changing it for the things that didn't make sense due to time restraints.
The full game won't have weird out of place things like that.
Humorous, one of the cooler takes on the theme I've seen. The sound design especially is awesome! The collision less so, but I don't expect brilliant collision detection in games made in 48 hours. My hat is off to you. :)
Reminds me of Dexter. The camera is a bit too close so it's hard to see where the cops are. Pretty good concept
Good game! First you have cartoon graphics and then... let's kill people!
Music, art and gameplay are top notch. Feels so smooth! Gotta love his evil face.
I really like this game, but I got caught on the way to the well after the slow and painful process of dragging my laundry to the landromat. :( I didn't want to do the whole thing again. Good game, though.
Loved it, everything pretty much gelled together perfectly(the audio, the graphics etc). My only minor issue is that I sometimes wasn't able to interact with elements in the game.
Holy shit, that was awesome - and by awesome I mean psychotic! Well done!
Sadly the collisions are a bit buggy, and I couldn't go further than the 2nd kill :(
Anyway, it's still a funny idea!
Amusing. I like the transitions between normal and killer. The audio is quite good too.
Great, inventive, and a strange amount of fun. :) Very silly and humorous.
+ good graphics
+ interesting take on the theme
+ creepy and funny
- learning to avoid the cops takes a while
- too short
Great game! I like the humour and the graphics. It also think it's very innovative. But it wasn't really a challenge.
The mood is nice, and the gameplay is clear to understand due to useful tips.
Great art style, the background music fits perfectly.
A bit glitchy when it comes to pickup stuff and drop it.
Funny, but ultimately sacrificed a bit too much of playability to the huge graphics, which made it feel clunky.
I did learn a valuable lesson though: policemen who only look in two directions are bad policemen.
Whoops, I guess I should have waited for more objectives before going around and killing everyone. :D
Great game and really liked the way the dialogue sets the mood. Think this would be worth expanding and would be great to see with animations.
Great Game in every sense.
I really like the overall concept but the graphics are also very nice.
the lines were funny. by the way I think it would be better if I can restart at the point I died when I caught.
Wow I'm impressed of a lot of work what you do in 48h ;) Good idea and funny gameplay, you get me ;D Keep it up!
That was pretty hilarious! It was a bit awkward to move at times, and the little guide arrow was sometimes a bit wonky, but overall the instructions were clear enough, and the concept was disturbingly funny. Nice job! I wasn't able to beat the whole game but I'll give this game another go when I can.
The music change is amusing.. Also I thought "Feed a cat to the ATM" was a pretty evil but also kind of creative goal.
