Medusa Trap

"Kills an enemy instantly, turning them into a statue that shatters when touched!"

Description
The medusa trap is a trap in Gotcha!

It can be purchased from the shop for 5000 coins, making it the most expensive trap (aside from the midas trap). This is because it instantly kills the player that activates it, turning them into a statue that can be jumped on, though it will usually collapse on impact. You can only place one medusa trap at a time.

Strategies
The medusa trap instantly kills the player, so there is no need to use other traps with it.

Traps
However, the reverse trap can increase the chances of a player stepping in it if you place it behind a medusa trap. Even if the player jumps over the medusa trap, they will most likely walk back into it because of the reverse trap.

Maps
Statues can be jumped on, so you can place medusa traps near the goal and wait for someone to step in it. By jumping on statues, you can avoid running into traps that are placed underneath.
