Murder – Sneak, Stab, and Defend the Throne

Murder – Clever arcade assassination puzzle game! Sneak behind the king as his adviser, charge your stab, and take the throne. Then watch your back — someone will try to kill you next. Simple one-button chaos. Jump in and plot your betrayal now!

How to Sneak and Stab

You start as the king's adviser. Move slowly behind him and hold Space to charge your stab. Watch his head — if he turns around while you charge, he catches you and throws you in the dungeon (run ends). Release Space at the perfect moment to stab successfully. You become the new king.

How to Stay King

Now you sit on the throne. The new adviser creeps behind you. Hold Space to look back. If you turn around while he charges, you catch him and win. If he stabs you first, you lose. The game loops: kill the king, become king, defend the throne, repeat.

Quick Survival Tips

• Move slowly as assassin — fast movement makes noise and turns the king.
• Charge stab only when safe behind him — release right before he turns.
• As king, look back often — don't wait for obvious signs.
• Time your looks — hold Space just when you think the adviser is close.
• One mistake ends the run — stay calm and patient.
• Retry fast — learn the king's turn patterns.

Game Progression & Loop

No levels or unlocks — every run is the same short loop of betrayal and defense. Success depends on timing and observation. The humor comes from the constant role flip: assassin one second, victim the next. Runs last 30 seconds to 2 minutes — very quick and replayable.
