Karoshi

Post by eMTe »

The goal in each level is to kill yourself. Game starts out as logic puzzler where you shove crates, let them crush you or jump into spikes. It may sound simple to die but puzzles can be very difficult and after the first few you will really have to think outside the box.

25 levels + boss.

Fun way to think puzzle game. I will definently try this out later. It really reminds me of the pencildrawings I did as a kid of rooms where the main character could die in a number of ways... (Thinking about this makes me think wether I had some issues...:lol:)

Not too challenging this game. Except level 23 which is pure art and one of the best designed level in freeware puzzler Ive ever seen.

Still cant get past 23. Either I'm dumb as eMTe ot this is one of the most ingenious level designed in history of logic games.

Tell me, please. If I'm right - dont try to reveal the solution. :)

I was stuck on Level 12. No gun to shoot down the destructible blocks, no way out of the screen and no way to get round the big "K".

I finally goggled the solution and it was kind of funny, but not really logical.

But all in all it's a fun game and I have a good time playing it!

I fear you are just dumb or think in a complete wrong direction. In fact this level isn't that hard to beat... :P
