The Scoop: Super Karoshi is the latest in Jesse Venbrux’s long-running Karoshi series, and is the second to be built with flash. We covered its predecessor earlier this year. Like all the other titles, the basic goal of each stage is to find a new and creative way to kill yourself. Usually with spikes.
Each stage is basically a puzzle. You’ll need to hit switches, solve riddles and overcome other obstacles to finally earn the right to throw your little office worker onto the bed of spikes & move on to the next stage. The big twist this time around is that in addition to finding a way to off yourself, many stages will include a handful of other office workers that also need to die in order for you to progress.
This is often accomplished through careful timing. Either hitting a switch at the proper moment to cause them to fall in the position you like, or something similar. It isn’t a radical reinvention of the Karoshi formula, but it is a solid step forward. Venbrux has created five Karoshi games now, and one senses the series might be running out of steam. Still, each of the five titles include unique twists and are absolutely worth playing through at least once.
