Buzzsaw in Hangillion

What it is

He is strapped to a table and a circular saw hangs from a rail on the ceiling. It slides toward him one step for every wrong letter, spinning faster than he would like. The last step is down.

Everything is drawn in pixels, in black, gray, white and two reds, and it is a cartoon: no real people, no real places. It runs in your browser, with no download.

How it plays out, one wrong letter at a time

1. 1. The saw far away at the end of the rail.
2. 2. It starts to spin.
3. 3. It slides closer.
4. 4. It reaches his feet.
5. 5. It reaches his waist.
6. 6 (the last life). It comes down.

Guess the word before the last step and he lives. The scene eases back and he smiles.

What you hear

A rising whine, a chop, a squelch and a scream. The sounds are made in your browser, so there is nothing to load, and you can switch them off with the sound button.

Setting: A bare workshop with a table and a rail overhead.

How to get it

It comes with Hangillion Max: every ending, now and later, and unlimited words. You can watch it loop in the “Ways to die” gallery on the Hangillion menu, whether or not you own it.
