About Life Goes On: Done to Death
✦ AI summary
Guide an endless army of knights to gruesome deaths, using their corpses as platforms, projectiles, and puzzle-solving tools across 65+ trap-filled levels. This darkly comedic platformer turns death itself into your primary mechanic, letting you impale, freeze, electrocute, and sacrifice knights in inventively twisted ways to progress.
Life Goes On: Done to Death is a comically-morbid platformer where you guide heroic knights to their demise and use the dead bodies to solve puzzles. Wanting to live forever, a mighty king sends his army of knights to find the Cup of Life. On this quest, you will summon knight after knight to be brutally sacrificed. Impale knights on spikes to create a safe path. Catch a knight on a sawblade to land the body on a button. Freeze knights into blocks of ice to reach higher ground.
You’ll also electrocute knights to open doors, blast knights out of cannons, and even zombify a knight to be your violent, dim-witted friend. As you journey through treacherous and trap-ridden worlds, you’ll show no mercy to solve each challenging puzzle.
In this game, death is not a setback. It is your only means to progress.
You must die to solve puzzles.
We hope you’re okay with killing knights, since this is a pretty twisted way to solve puzzles! Dying is your only way to progress. As you sacrifice knights, you'll figure out how to use the dead bodies with the mechanisms in the game to solve each challenging puzzle.
Morbid, yet comical gameplay.
You’ll kill so many knights, you might even feel remorse! But flinging a bumbling knight into a saw blade or turning one into your violent, puzzle-solving friend is comical. Trust us.
Vibrant, trap-ridden worlds.
Journey through 65+ levels within four vibrant, colourful worlds full of lava, ice, spike pits, portals, zombies, cannons, and much more. And there are extra-difficult challenge levels for hardcore puzzle-addicts.
Unlockable hats and weapons. (Silly ones, of course!)
Can you find the Cup of Life wearing a horse head? On top of solving puzzles, you'll be able to unlock amusing hats and weapons. Your knights will spawn wearing silly hats, like beanies and berets, and wielding even sillier weapons, like dead fish and spatulas.
Find Jeff!
Who is Jeff? Well, he's furry, cute, and lurking in every level. Will you be his friend?
Challenges!
There are awards for solving levels with the least number of knights and completing them in record time!
Life Goes On: Done to Death also includes a kick-ass boss fight, a map-integrated storyline, an armoury to check out all your hat and weapons, and other features that will make you laugh at death.

[h1]Not the Run You Were Expecting[/h1] This game is definitely not what I was expecting based on the trailers. I went in expecting a standard roguelike/roguelite. You know the drill: a game where each run gives you a chance to discover new skills or permanent equipment to help with subsequent attempts. Instead, it's a puzzle game with a very dark, morbid twist. [b]The Core Mechanic: Weaponized Incompetence[/b] The twist is that every time you die, your previous corpse remains exactly where it fell. When you respawn for a re-try, you can use your own dead bodies to help you solve the puzzle. Actually, let me rephrase that: you MUST use your dead bodies to solve the puzzle. You literally cannot progress otherwise. Impaling yourself on spikes to make a safe bridge for your next clone? That's not a failure; it's just the main gameplay mechanic. [b]The Scoring System[/b] The game tracks your performance based on efficiency. Both your total time and the sheer number of corpses you pile up are counted. If you want to get a better score, you have to keep both thresholds as low as possible for each level. Turns out, mindless sacrifice requires a bit of strategy.

Platform puzzler par excellence which had sat in my list of shame but got unearthed because of another great game by the same dev. And although puzzle platformers aren't my bag, I really got on with this one. If you like the genre, I suspect you'll love it. I dunno if the concept is unique but it was refreshing to me - on a medieval quest for fortune & glory you'll be required to sacrifice your knights on purpose so their withering bodies can help the next brave warrior progress, for instance by climbing up their impaled corpse to avoid spiky outcrops, or leaving their soul-less carcass on a button or lever to allow their following foppish cavalier to progress to a new level. But there's a lot to make this game stand out. Firstly, the art, sound and game design are beautifully created; this is an immensely playable game that 'feels' good while remaining simple in principal while looking and sounding premium level. Really well made. And then there's the backstory and lore. Each doomed challenger has a unique name and many have a lineage, so over time you'll meet family members and sons of sons - and still kill them. Some of this plays into the games achievements, which are cle…1 found this helpful
A unique platformer with mostly great puzzles, though a few are annoying to execute due to long action chains or tight timing. Note: A love for dark humor is required, as some mechanics are pretty twisted
Great game. Lots of humor.
Is okay.
riddles are quite difficult
