Vizier's Betrayal
Switch roles every round — stab as the killer, then defend as the king who keeps glancing back.
Two-phase rounds: a stab phase and a glance phase; survive longer each round to climb the score.
Hold to stab, tap to glance; rounds auto-swap roles.
Role-swap twist on Murder's killer/king loop
Extends Murder's proven tension into a two-mode loop that bumps session length.
Mechanic is not novel — Poki's 'Murder' already implements the exact two-phase loop (hold to stab as assassin, then look back as king to catch traitors), so Vizier's Betrayal is a re-skin rather than a fresh hook.Mirror describes Murder as 'hold to charge, release to stab as assassin, then rule as king and look back to catch traitors' — identical core loop ↗Original trending Poki title that already owns this concept ↗
Murder/betrayal + role-reversal has proven viral shape: multiple full-walkthrough and 'secret ending' YouTube videos, plus mirrors republishing the game across sites.Dedicated walkthrough video of Murder on Poki ↗Full gameplay / 'secret ending' video — classic viral content format for this loop ↗
One-button (hold/tap) two-phase loop with auto role-swap is trivially buildable in a few days; no assets beyond a character and a king.
Web version on Poki is free with no native ad layer shown; mobile port could run interstitials between rounds but no evidence of strong eCPM for this specific sub-genre, and the source trend is a free web title, not a proven mobile money-maker.Free browser play, no premium monetization model visible ↗Mirrors also offer it free — value capture on web is weak ↗
The exact game already exists as a trending Poki title and has been cloned onto multiple aggregator/mirror sites (Poki, headballgame, playtinyfishing), leaving almost no whitespace for a direct mobile port.Original trending Poki game with the identical mechanic ↗Third-party mirror republishing the same game ↗
