In Karoshi you must kill yourself in each level. This is more difficult than it sounds!

Game Description
Karoshi comes with 25 levels and a rather unusual boss fight at the end. Each level is a new puzzle in which you must figure out how to die. This can sometimes be different from what you initially think. The game does not present a story, but you can kind of make out what the back story of this game is.

Have fun! If you get stuck in a level, just post in the thread. Puzzles can be difficult but the solution is always obvious.

Like all your games 2D cube, this is really good

The concept is pretty original, and I think the graphics are neat too (I think the character sprite is okay for a game like this, but what's really urking me is all the white stuff around the red and black things and the text) . I'll say more once I can beat level 5

It's a nice little platform puzzler - good job. I like the reverse mentality of the game; that is a neat touch. I agree with Necromian, the graphics are good, but the text and bloody borders kind of detract from the simple, puzzle-game nature of the game. Also, what exactly does 'Karoshi' mean?


All your games have quite good level design. Nice work!

VERY nice game. I completed the whole thing, and I liked the ending =P.

[Nixa]

wow that was fun

hmm. Interesting game, i was actually thinking of eventually making a game somewhat like this, but not a puzzle game. I actually beat this game even though I don't really like puzzle games It was all right. The graphics needed work... but I'm going to guess you were under time constraints? The blocks looked good The gameplay itself wasn't spectacular or anything really special. And the difficulty didn't steadily increase. I found level 5 to be a little on the hard side, and then after that level the game eased up a bit, and climbed back up and sorta went all over the place. Kinda funny too, but got old quick. I'd seriously suggest fixing up those graphics, the game looks pretty bad with those white pixels and the player is... yeah.
