There are few games that can pull off addressing the player as “Bro”. Trap Master is one of them, a retro arcade-style game by Berzerk Studio. In the free flash game, players command a monster guarding a dungeon from a rush of oncoming villagers waving their pitchforks and pikes. The “guarding” aspect is particularly bloody, as the monster is particularly fond of eating on oncoming attackers, grinding them into a bloody pulp with comically large jaws. If you want to play for free and eat some villagers, play Trap Master here.

My monster eats a villager in Trap Master

All-in-all, this is a very cool riff on the common “tower defense” theme. But rather than letting the passive-attack turrets do all the work (in this game, turrets are replaced by things like jets of poison and giant weights that drop on attackers from the roof the dungeon), the player actively must command the monster to kill attackers. But without a good turret placement strategy, even the fastest eater won’t be able to get very far when playing Trap Master.

The music is worth mentioning as well — the metal is a perfect accompaniment to the large quantities of blood and poison present in Trap Master’s dungeon.
