Indie Intermission – Sometimes The Only Escape Is A ‘Body Ladder’

Sometimes all you need is mindless violence in a video game and Body Ladder provides this in bucket loads.  Bashing zombie clones in the head with various weapons along with exploding their heads Body Ladder fulfills this primal urge.

A simple premise you begin the level in a town overrun by zombie clones after the towns local mad professor decided to launch this army out, just in time for Halloween. You are tasked to survive this unstoppable horde by the only means you know how, by beating them to death and exploding their heads all over the tower.

Every body creates adds to the pile for you to stand aloft like some prized trophy. The aim is to get the most hight out of this, creating a splendid tower for you to flaunt to all other citizens of this town. No doubt horrified to see this genocidal maniac gradually climb past their attic level and off into the heavens.

It is a bizarre game that really has little depth, very basic overall but all round smashingly good fun. After having a few titles that actually require you to think this week I thought it was about time to unwind and just kill zombies like, well a zombie.

The art style is simplistic but it does not lack in blood and although more could have been added the amounts used are fine and it works very well in the overall game aesthetics  Also your character is wearing a top hat so you already win the moral victory playing Body Ladder as it is clearly a classy affair.

Average play time – 5 minutes

Body Ladder is a very fun, yet mindless treat for this Halloween period and is well worth a go, especially if you have some anger to vent. The game does not take itself too seriously but I guess that is expected in the name and it does have a very challenging element. If you are so inclined to smash the most amount of zombies in the head to get the tallest and greatest body tower in history.

Body Ladder can be played in your browser on Newgrounds here.
