I LOVE THIS GAME! It's puzzles are masterfully designed. They are genius! My only complaint: over way too quickly. Nevertheless, AWESOME work!

How do you use the Katana ?

Anyone ideas for Karoshi 2?

When finishing the last final boss (whatever he's called), and the level with the big head of which the beginning looks exactly like level 1, I would have expected that the game just continues by playing all the other levels with the big head. That would maybe be more fun (it would be just hilarious).

As for Karoshi 2, maybe a graphical update especially in the animation of the player (chumbucket anyone?).

Oh, and I thought the clock level was original. Maybe you can do it so that you can get out of the hole but as soon as the block falls, the player has to be sure to be under it. Then, maybe, make the waiting time a bit shorter. The K level was a bit lame however, it doesn't involve strategy as (most of) the other levels do.

Anyhow, it's still a great little game

Anyone ideas for Karoshi 2?

* You need a level editor, their always fun, maybe an uploading system to boot so you can find levels on a website or something. (Might be difficult if you lack in online coding.)

* Many more levels.

* Maybe a co-op mode, where players work together to kill each other?

* The player has to obtain the petrol can and get to the barrel/drum of fire to kill themselves or something along those lines.

* Keys, they have to open doors to get to the next area to actually kill themselves.

* Normal, Hard, Super Hard mode.

Anyway their just some ideas, enjoy.

i can help with the online thingi! and btw, what about final destination as name? (if you seen the movies, you should understand why the name would fit )

This is one of the only GM games to make me actually laugh out loud. Some of the puzzles were pretty clever, too.

"Karoshi" apparently means "Death from overwork" in Japanese. Now that's why he was dressed as a businessman!

Just wrote that some page back. Heh.

Really great game

Some of the puzzles were hilariously easy, but entertaining nonetheless

More people need to make games like this; entertaining, fun, and to the point

Great job

Thank you! I promise Karoshi 2 will have a lot more content.

How do you use the Katana ?

Yeah! I would like to know this as well. Anyone?

Also... a little impossible maybe... But I like the idea of being able to replay all levels in a different way. I'm not sure how to implement that in Karoshi 2.

Level editor: will have one. No online uploading or anything though.
More levels: No problem.
Co-op: Sounds cool but too much work to implement.
Different difficulty settings: I don't see how that'd work. This is not a game where I can just up the number of enemies if the player selects Hard mode.

I haven't seen it. I know Smash Bros has a Final Destination level...

Glad you liked it, and if someone laughes out loud because of the game I'm really happy.

That's cool, but Uh... I don't think many people would, so it'll be freeware. You can still donate me money though ; ).

If I don't get any new crazy ideas for Karoshi 2 (that take days to implement) I will release the game this evening. So if you have anything you feel should be in the game, you have to tell me now.

hmm, i live in sweden and is 14 years old... it could be hard

[Broxter]

Your'e gonna release Karoshi 2 this evening!?

I didn't expect the sequel to be so soon!

OMG!!!!! I can't wait!

IDEA FOR KAROSHI 2: A level where you have to create a fire, and then jump into it. A bit lame I know.

[Broxter]

Double post. Sorry

hmm, im wondering if he is going to use my idea...

[Erik Leppen]

It might be a stupid question, but what does the name Karoshi mean anyway? Is it an invented word or did you get it from some foreign language?

[Schreib]

You don't read very much, do you?

Look 4-5 posts above you.

[Eurich]

ahaha that game was amazing.

[Loaf]

I loved it - apart from the music. It was obviously just a few garageband loops thrown in. There was no timing, it was all over the place and didn't work. I think if you just arranged the music to be more in beat, and have less "randomness" then it would have worked better.

I got stuck on level 2
