New Friday The 13th: Killer Puzzle mobile game will be available on April 13. That’s right; it’s coming out on Friday the 13th.

Blue Wizard Digital, developers of the campy voxel homage to 80’s slasher films Slayaway Camp, have their gory sights set on everyone’s favorite summer camper; Jason Vorhees. The team announced Friday The 13th: Killer Puzzle towards the end of last year, but we are now getting more details about the game. First of all, it will get a global release to iOS, Android, and Steam on Friday, April 13 and apparently it soft-launched in the US last week.

The completed game was released quietly in the US on January 19 in the Apple App Store, but observant gamers spotted it over the weekend. “The United States is getting early access to the game,” said Blue Wizard founder Jason Kapalka, “but players can rest assured it will release soon everywhere else.”

You can trust I hopped onto all of the social medias to learn more as soon as this info came my way. Believe me, I was as pissed as Jason’s mom when I found out I missed out on a twitter contest to be part of the game.

Well, maybe not as pissed as his mom but definitely as pissed as people who went to see Jason X (the space one) in the movie theaters. Funny enough, the Jason Vorhees from Jason X is actually playable. You are able to unlock several Jason variants as you puzzle through the game, including one that reminds me Jared Leto’s Joker.

According to the press release, Friday The 13th: Killer Puzzle also carries the seal of approval from the creator of the Friday the 13th series.

I loved the balance of horror and humor the Blue Wizard guys brought to Slayaway Camp,” said Friday the 13th series creator Sean Cunningham, “and I’m thrilled to see their take on Friday the 13th.”

So if you are like me and always wanted breakfast cereals and Saturday morning cartoon versions of your favorite horror movies this game may be for you.
