Karoshi: Kill yourself

Posted by 2Dcube on March 2, 2008, 9:22 a.m.

So I released a new game today. You may have seen a screenshot of it earlier on my blog.

"Karoshi" is a puzzle/platforming game in which you must kill yourself. Over and over. Each level presents a new puzzle, and often you must think "outside the box".

The game does not present a story but you can figure out what the sort-of back story is for the game. The boss fight is also a metaphor within the story.

It comes with 25 levels. There's some humor, some weirdness, and good plain puzzle action.

For screens and a download link please visit the thread at the GMC HERE.

A big "K" you say? Hahahahahaha.

PhazonYoshi, I didn't mean to make an emo game but you can think of it as such. I'm not emo myself, why else would I use a pink avatar :P

Great game! I felt like I was playing Portal. But I just can't get throught that "K" level :(

EDIT: Final boss (and beyond) was :O Awesome game!

That was awesome, the playing as boss was fun. Some things were hard, but it was cool. Nice music, and nice room transition effect. I don't know why you used someone elses blood effect, but yeah. Nice game!

Hah, it's almost made me emo, death is the only way to advance!

That was great, really original, fresh, and the puzzles were well made and well executed.

Beat me to it, did you? Oh well, I wouldn't of done it as well

Be nice if you also linked shooting to DOWN and jumping to UP so that it could be a nice one hand game

@Nobody: I used it because I think it looks good, so why not. Also I am lazy.

@serprex: That is a good idea. I may include that in a little update sometime.

I'm glad people here like it, it's always exciting to see how people react.
