Kill the Brickman

Publisher poncle and developer Doonutsaur have announced Kill the Brickman, a a turn-based rogue-like brick breaker “inspired by retro arcade madness.”

The new game is actually now available for Windows PC (via Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

“I wanted to focus on the strange style of this game so it could stand out amongst the other amazing deckbuilding games out there,” said Alvin of Doonutsaur in a press release. “Not only did poncle manage to meet me at my own level of weird, they helped me raise the bar on how absurd Kill the Brickman could really be!”

poncle founder and director Luca Galante added, “I love Bricks. Kill the Brickman is not only a brilliant deckbuilder, it’s also one of the strangest ones I’ve ever played. And that’s a good thing.”

Kill the Brickman is the second game to be published by poncle after their previous game, Berserk or Die, which also got shadow-dropped the day it was announced.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

Welcome to Kill the Brickman, a turn-based rogue-like brick breaker inspired by retro arcade madness.

Build your own bullet-blasting loadouts by combining relics, clip layouts, and bizarre bullets that explode, corrode, and multiply. Every run is a new experiment. Every build is a puzzle. Every bullet is a brick-busting tool to bring home the bank.

Shoot your way through chapters, face off against powerful bosses, and uncover synergies that turn your humble pee shooter into a galaxy-defying hand cannon. With hundreds of relics and a variety of build options, the depth here goes way deeper than just aim and fire.

MAIN MISSION

Choose a chapter, choose your weapon, grab an extra mission from the intergalactic bounty board if you’re feeling brave enough, and fire your way to victory. Victory isn’t easily earned however, so make sure you build and stack correctly to walk away with the cash.

LOADOUT

Pick your shooter, each with a unique set of starting abilities, and pay attention to Clips in the Shop that grant even more abilities to your bullets; which yes, also have abilities. It’s just ability on top of ability here. Create a build and bolster your power with Relics, which yes, also have abilities.

LOCATIONS

Choose a chapter, select your sidearm, grab an extra mission from the intergalactic bounty board if you’re feeling brave enough, and fire your way to victory. Victory isn’t easily earned however, so make sure you build and stack correctly to walk away with the cash.

BULLET POINTS (GET IT???)

  • Accept extra missions if you think you can handle the pressure, big payoffs await the brave
  • Remember to blow your bank at the Shop, re-roll if your needs aren’t met!
  • Keep a keen eye on Facilities when they appear, they may just work in your favor
