Game Description

Karoshi 2.0 is more of what the first game already offered, but the puzzles this time are much more about different/unusual solutions then they are about shoving crates. I must say I'm very happy with the game, and it includes some really clever puzzles (esspecially the final few levels).

Complaints about Karoshi 1 were that the graphics weren't always that great, and that the game was too short. The sequel has a lot more levels (and is actually even longer than you think...) and I've done my best this time to make sure the presentation is great and that all graphics fit together.

Features:
- 42 levels
- Boss sequence that is well... I don't want to spoil it.
- Level editor (12 custom levels included too)
- Karoshi 1 speedrun mode

Level editor

The level editor is very easy and straight forward to use, and levels can be saved as .lvl files. You can also copy the code and post it on the forums, and other people can paste that into the game.

Karoshi 1 Speedrun mode

I noticed replaying Karoshi 1 was pretty fun, and many other people liked that too. Therefore, I included this mode, in which you have seven minutes (yes, a hint at Virtanen's game) to complete all levels. You can even try to beat my score (which is 2:04 time left).

Update: tjp7154 has beaten my record with 2:41 left, a difference of 37 seconds! Amazing. He even made a nice vid of it.

Final Comments

Have fun, and please let me know what you think. : )

Also, if you haven't played Karoshi 1 yet, you can find the topic here.
However, it is not necessary to have played it before you start Karoshi 2.0. (Unless you play the speedrun mode perhaps).

Because I know people will ask:
"Karoshi" is japanese and means "death from overwork".
"mo-ichi-do" means "one more time".

If you get really stuck, you can find a walkthrough on IndieFAQS.

Can you fix the link to your webpage, I can't download from YYG. Always that "Download Session Has Expired".

Edit: Thank you for fixing the link. Will edit after playing.

Eh, I'll try it, the first one was fun. Kinda easy though.
Much harder than the last. Stuck on level 4. I'll have to toy around with this tomorrow. Cool game though.

Edit: As with the last one, this is great!
10/10!!

I like this a bit better than the first. I'm glad you got rid of those blood splashes; they kind of cluttered the screen a bit. I'm stuck on level 14. 12 and 13 were funny, and I especially liked level 5.

I did not like the music that consisted of one note. The other music was fine, though.


Overall, this is very imaginative, much more so than most puzzle games of this genre. What a great game!

[desertdweller]

Haha, I'm stuck on 34... hint is "2 lvls bck"

Stumped...

What is the random head on level 2 supposed to mean? Hmmm...



EDIT: Oh! I got it! On kill 38... hmm..

EDIT 2: On level 42, no hint??? Boy, one of those between 38 and 42 is evil. (You know which one...)

EDIT 3: I'm on level 45...

Great game

Much harder than the original, which I like

Good job

[desertdweller]

Thanks for Play is the final ending, right? If so, does that mean that I am the first recorded winner of Karoshi 2.0? Yippee!

EDIT: Oh wait, NOW I really beat it...

EDIT 2: Apparently I haven't beat it... Anybody know how to do the black and white level?

[CaKsTeR]

Cant finish 48, dont have a music CD. >.<

Unless thats not how you do it..

[Dmaster270]

Yur all ahead of me. D: I had to leave while I was on lvl 2. D:

[TheLastBanana]

I'm sure it's blatantly obvious, but I can't seem to beat level 17. It's the red and black one with shapes under the switches.
Anyway, nice game. I liked the original, too. Good job on including puzzles that are a bit more out there!

[AlexAR]

Fantastic game! Very fresh and original. Great puzzles and design. Even though Im stuck on level 34.

[Dmaster270]

How do you beat Kills: 4? I got it to -108

[TheLastBanana]

SPOILER (Highlight to read) SPOILER
Change the number to 3, then walk under the 3rd block.
I still can't figure out 17, I think there's something wrong with me...

[anonymouss]

It freezez right after I choose what level to do.

[King Razz]

How do you beat 48?

[Dmaster270]

I just did it. Hit them in the order of the number of squares from 1-4.
