A trapper's drone hovers over the factory course while four runners in traffic-cone and paper-bag hats dodge a flame jet.

Stop, You Jerk!

멈춰, 이 자식아!

Set traps. Run to the end. Trust no one.

An online death run for 2 to 8 players. Each round one of you gets the trigger and everyone else runs for their life. In development at HermitcLab.

You're the trapper

Runners are coming down the line. Drop the crusher on them. The lamp warns them first, and some of them are paying attention.

How a round goes

  1. Place traps

    Everyone flies a drone over the course and spends their budget on traps. Traps stay for the whole match, so the course gets nastier every round.

  2. Run, or pull the trigger

    One player becomes the trapper and fires traps from the drone. The rest race the course in third person and respawn at checkpoints.

  3. Pull the lever

    The first runner across the finish meets the trapper at the execution stage. There is a lever. You know what it does.

  4. Swap and score

    The trapper changes every round. Points from kills and finishes decide who wins the match.

The ice cavern course: a wooden walkway with red and white hazard panels, runners lined up behind a flame jet.
Low-poly, point-sampled, fogged in. Built to look like it came out of a PS1.
