Skull Kid is a Flash game released in 2003 on Newgrounds. You play as a kid with a skull for a head and goes around in a building and kills people with a chainsaw and pistols. You can only walk forwards, backwards and use your weapon. You start on the first floor with a chainsaw where all the people basically do nothing until you kill them. The second floor is the most challenging one, as you now have a gun and have to shoot several enemies down while having to avoid getting shot by them, and each enemy's firearm becomes increasingly more powerful. The final floor, also called "Boss Room", has you holding the chainsaw again walking towards the alleged Final Boss, and all you have to do is chainsaw his guts out without him even trying to stop you.
Tropes:
- Ambiguously Human: The Skull Kid doesn’t seem to be wearing a mask, meaning his head really is his skull without any flesh, so he might as well be a zombie or something like that.
- Chainsaw Good: Your main weapon is a chainsaw.
- Serial Killer: The titular Skull Kid commits mass murder by the end of the game.
- Skull for a Head: The Skull Kid only has a flesh-less skull for a head.
- Villain Protagonist: The protagonist Skull Kid kills a lot of people throughout the game.
- Zero-Effort Boss: The Boss, like most NPC's in the game, doesn't do anything to try to stop you and all you have to do is chainsaw his guts out.
