101 Ways to Die
In this puzzle-platformer you’ll play assistant to mad scientist Professor Splattunfuder – a scientist, inventor and weapons manufacturer of questionable sanity. Nearing the end of his career, he devoted himself to a terrible ‘recipe book’ focused on the death and destruction of his enemies, preferably using the most stylish methods possible. An unfortunate laboratory accident resulted in the destruction of the first draft – now it’s down to you to assist him piece the fragments back together. The evil Professor has grown vats full of helpless creatures known as Splatts that he is using to aid him in a range of awful experiments – which is where you come in. Using all your murderous creativity, a generous helping of weaponry, a passing knowledge of physics and a large dose of violence to the poor helpless Splatts, you’ll help the Professor rewrite his classic book of recipes, titled… 101 Ways To Die!

Ok where do i begin.....I have never personally wrote a review on anything i think in my life but this game and its developers plust staff deserve my worship and praise....To start off, when i bought the game i bought it because i had a friend who played it on xbox one...It looked so addicting and amazing so i decided i had to have it for my self.. >XD......I bought the game and downloaded it...Started it up, and it did not work!!!! I tried and tried to fix the issue my self. The issue was that i am using a 32 inch Flat screen emerson tv for a moniter so its a little squirly at times with new games to get the resolution correct to play the games....well this was one of the games....I tried and tried and finally got the resolution correct and got the game to show up on my screen...BUT then the image wasnt alligned with the acually "button" behind the image...so when i went to click on play i had to acually move my mouse to the bottom of the screen...I emailed the staff and devs furiously....Quickly within a few hours they responed and wanted to know what my issue was...I explained and took screen shots and emailed them back...well within a day they had a solution to my problem, or atleast thought we did....It didnt work...well i emailed them back letting them know it didnt work...another couple of hours and they emailed be pack letting me know the devs would get to gether and discuss how to fix my issue and it might take a day or two, and to send them some info from my files on the game crash....so i emailed them the files and some more screenshots and details of the issue...I will admitt it took a few days to get a response out of them but when they responed they updated me on the progress of the devs on fixing my issue...well after almost a week they had a solution again...they had in an email attach a fix for my game which would bassicly reset my game and have it set to the right resolution settings for me personally. i was estatic, thinking i was specialy getting a fix just for me from the devs hehe...i downloaded the fix, my game updated and i tried to load it...YES IT WORKED, or so i thought....it reset my game back to normal so it would work correctlly, but it didnt fix the resolution so i was back to square one again witrh the orginal issue....i emailed the devs letting them know and they responed quickly stateing to give them some time and they would come up with a solution again...well almost a week went by and i emailed to check the progress, they emailed me back letting me know they were still working on the fix...almost another week went by and i emailed to check again...well i waited a day or two and one of the publishers in charge over the devs personally emailed me and said that in a coup,e days they would release a full update on the game to fix the problem for me and anyone else who might have this again...and in about 3 days, i went to get on steam and the game had an update...i let it update...then i clicked play and..........IT WORKED FOR REAL THIS TIME!!!!!! I can now play the full game, no resolution issues, no screen mishaps, nothing...its perfectly running order now...I played it for 4 hours straight after i emailed the devs thanking them of course....then after 4 hours of play i hit a bug...the game went black and i had to restart my computer...i emailed the devs letting them know about the new issue...within 2 days i had another update form steam on the game...i downloaded...and now i play :) IT WORKS PERFECTLY NOW. I have countless hours and countless amout of fun and blood splattering awsomeness...I High thank the devs and staff of 101 ways to die...It is an awsome game, and the staff are amazing, kind, and quick to fix an issue...I highlly recommend this game if you like what you read in the description...platformer style, with brain twisting stratgy needed for some of the bloddiest most brutily killing fo a "splatt" i have ever seen or played..LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT...5 STARS!, 10 OUT OF 10 AMAZING

This recommendation comes with reservations.
The game delivers what it promised but has a lot of issues and a limited appeal.
Pros
Delivers what is promised
It's satisfying for everything to come together
Physics are consistent, most of the time.
Game is usually somewhat funny
Cons
Replayability is non-existent
Lack of Workshop / Player created content is a missed gold mine
Game only appeals to people who want plans to come together
Jokes get old, and more frustrating when they don't happen / work
Physics can randomly be inconsistent for no disernable reason
Overall Rating: 3.4/5
Rage Factor: 4.8/5 (You will rage, get upset, rage quit and extreme frustration are all in story)

Really enjoyable game. loved the mechanics and physics of the game and how all the different weapons and abilities can be chained to work together.
Very imaginitive levels and graphicaly is superb for a smaller game of this type.
My only real negative ppint is that although thebgame has a fast forward ability the gameplay seems a bit slow. I suggest adding varying speeds of fast fowarding. might add to the humour of seeing a character impailed on a spike at 100mph.

The graphics are good, I like the idea of the game and the puzzles are interesting but some of the puzzles started to become more frustrating then fun after awhile. I really found that some of the puzzles became unwinnable if you fast forwarded the play at any time as it seems to throw the timing off on some of the items (such as floating platforms). You also can not go on to the next level without finishing the previous one so, you could get stuck playing the same level for hours and getting nowhere (except maybe a trip to the hospital when your stress level peaks)...
If your into puzzle games and you have a lot of patience then you will probibly enjoy this game a lot. Myself; not so much as I don't tend to get a lot of enjoyment from puzzle games.

My kind of dark humor rolled into a great little game! Kind of reminded me of lemmings but instead of keeping them alive you have to kill them. There's something satisfying about setting up those traps and watching it all unfold. Was a little slow to begin with but once you get to know the rules it lets you speed up the process so i flew through the levels. My only quarm is that it isnt available on mac. I'm not a huge gamer but I'd defo play this more if i could access it on my own laptop.
Thanks!

This game made me laugh! I love the presidentail edition with Hillary and Trump, but the original version is just as fun. It's easy to pick up and play, although it gets more clever and creative later on with a mix of great gameplay and dark humour.

After a couple of months of owning the game and multiple e-mails with the devs themselves to solve an issue which rendered this game unplayable I have finally got to the bottom of the issue and fixed it - myself, although the team (Nick Parker) were very attentive and helpful.
The game does not like recording software - AT ALL. So if you are running recording software, close it down before playing this! Otherwise, it simply will not work.
The game is actually very enjoyable and wonderful in design. Think Lemmings, but rather than rescue the blighters, you have to murder them.. in the most horrific ways.
If you like challenging titles, this may tickle you in all the right places. I have found it very challenging in places, yet adorable in its brutal way.
The team seem to have put in a lot of work in to this and although there does appear to be an issue with recording software (Which, if sorted, will hopefully give the game much more coverage, which I feel would be deserved), I believe it is actually worth a purchase.
The two recording progs I was using were Plays.TV which would auto run in the background and Action! - both of these kill 101 Ways to Die. I am unsure how others have managed to record game footage, but if you want to enjoy this little hidden gem, ensure you have shut down both of these.
Please see my original review below:
The game does not work. After contacting the team (after being advised to do so by the devs on the discussion page), I have not received a response. It appears many people have found the game to not be working too. Very frustrating as I was looking forward to this.
Until a fix is found I would 100% advise you to steer clear of this game as it is broken.
