Gangnam Style Massacre

About

Gangnam Style Massacre is a 2012 iOS arcade game where you control a schoolgirl armed with a bow and arrow. Your objective is to shoot a vase perched atop a character’s head, inspired by PSY’s viral hit. The gameplay is simple and fast-paced with pixel-art visuals. Single-player only, it leans into absurd humor over complexity. The game’s legacy is as notable as its premise. It was quickly rebranded as Gangnam Dance School in 2012 after the developer cited concerns over similarities to a real-world tragedy. For a decade, it was inaccessible until a fan found it on an archive in 2022. Now restored online, it’s a relic of early mobile gaming’s chaotic creativity. Community interest has spiked since its return with forums debating its oddball charm and historical footnote status.
