A sliding puzzle game by Blue Wizard Games. The player takes on the role of various killers in the highly popular Slayaway Camp series of slasher movies parodying popular slashers like Friday the 13th and Sleepaway Camp. The first killer, Skullface, twice menaces a summer camp- first wearing a mask, second with it removed. Then his mom shows up to avenge him. After that, the series moves away from camps, first to a clown in an abandoned amusement park, then a substitute teacher gone crazy, a shark on a beach, a killer nurse, a corporate downsizer who does his job by murder instead of firing, a giant killer hot dog, and finally a killer cyborg in a futuristic camp in space.
Slayaway Camp TV: Trope Terror:
- Batman Gambit: A large part of the puzzles is exploiting victims' predictable behavior so you can get them into positions where you can slash them and get away.
- Battleaxe Nurse: Mary the nurse killer, both figuratively and, in some of the kill scenes, literally.
- Black Comedy Animal Cruelty: Defied. Cats occasionally appear in scenes beginning in 3d, where they act similar to the victims (except that they're scared away from phones), but if they come to any harm, you fail the level. Even chasing cats out of the level is unacceptable.
- Credits Gag: If Skullface fails, the game switches to randomly generated credits along with a theme song about life being like a machete.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Played for laughs, but the killers can dish out some truly nasty deaths.
- Evil Phone: If a phone rings (by the killer or a victim sliding into its partner), anyone in the same line or column will run to answer it, which the killer can use to manipulate their location.
- Failed a Spot Check: Nobody will notice the gory deaths of their friends in the same room unless the killer is right next to them, or a kill occurs next to them.
- Gameplay and Story Segregation: Some cutscenes imply that the killers can cross short walls (impossible in-game) and that Sharkman can swim and kill teenagers in the water, when in-game he drowns just like all the others.
- Genre Blind: Everyone. Standing next to unstable bookshelves, leaving safe spaces to answer the phone, running straight into electrified fences, et cetera.
- Goomba Stomp: One of the ways killers can slash their victims is by stomping on them, which somehow reduces them to Ludicrous Gibs.
- Hint System: The player may purchase a basic hint for 5 coins. Paying additional coins will show the solution.
- Lights Off, Somebody Dies: Starting in Fatality Ward, the killer can turn off light switches. This will prevent the killer from being noticed (except by cats, since cats can see in the dark), and is the only way to kill SWAT cops.
- Ludicrous Gibs: Victims tend to explode into these, or as close as the graphics can get.
- Hope Spot: The final victim of Manhattan Manslaughter manages to escape out the apartment complex's door... only to be hit by a bus while she's still processing it.
- Monster Clown: The killer of Abusement Park.
- No OSHA Compliance: The office in the 7th movie has electric fences in the building that can kill incautious employees.
- Police Are Useless: Police guard a single space in front of them. That's it. They don't notice killers next to them, abandon their posts to answer phones, and won't even notice someone getting killed in their guarded space, since the killer isn't on that square. SWAT teams are more competent, as they guard a line in front of them and will kill any killers who attempt to kill them.
- Super Drowning Skills: Everyone drowns if they fall into water hazards, even the shark killer. The killers can use it to their advantage by scaring victims into the water, but it also might prevent them from using some routes to kill or escape.
- Threatening Shark: The fifth movie's villain is a shark-man who prowls the beach to kill teenagers.
- Timed Mission: Some missions give you a limited number of turns before a SWAT team shows up to arrest the killer.
- Troubled Production: In-universe. The Slayaway Camp movie series suffered a lot of deaths of cast and crew, malfunctioning equipment, and sets breaking.
