Dumb Ways to Die 4 for iPhone

Next installment of the hit PSA game

Dumb Ways to Die 4 is a free-to-play puzzle game from PlaySide Studios. This is the fourth installment of the hit game series, starting as an Australian public service announcement campaign that became a worldwide sensation. Same as its previous iterations, this offers a lot of mini games that you have to complete before the time runs out.

Featuring the iconic artwork and familiar sound design, Dumb Ways to Die 4 is a treat for fans of the series. It even adds a new base-building aspect. Also, check out Dumb Ways to Die and Dumb Ways to Die 2: The Games.

Find new ways to die and survive

In true Dumb Ways fashion, Dumb Ways to Die 4 also runs on the same premise. Cute little characters do dumb things and it’s up to you to save them. From playing with dangerous animals to using electric appliances incorrectly, the mini games have different designs and ways of solving them, making the experience fun and challenging at the same time.

As an expanded sequel, it offers a base-building aspect. The Build Mode lets you fix and customize a given location where the characters hang out. You can purchase upgrades with the coins you earn from completing mini games. Aside from the design consistency, it also uses the same audio cues from the earlier games, making it intuitive for those who played its predecessors.

Still, its unique appeal comes with challenges, especially for new fans of the franchise. For starters, some mini games do not come with clear instructions and it’s only through trial and error that players know what to do on some stages. Additionally, this game has a heavier emphasis on ads. There are regular ads that are unskippable for a couple of seconds, plus ads you can watch to earn extra coins.

A fitting sequel to a global hit

Dumb Ways to Die 4 successfully maintains its entertaining premise with diverse challenges and an added base-building feature. Despite its appeal, navigating unclear instructions and enduring frequent ads pose challenges, particularly for newcomers. However, its consistent design and familiar audio cues cater to existing fans. Overall, the game presents a balance of fun and frustration, encouraging players to find new ways to die while striving to survive.
