Karoshi.ccl

[mathgrant]

The "lesson" levels and their hints had shades of black humour. I was disappointed that the difficulty curve didn't really take off, so hopefully you're going to add some more levels later.

Karoshi tends to have very short and to-the-point levels, compared to the length of Chip's Challenge levels. raocow played the entirety of Karoshi 2.0 in about 40 minutes, whereas I've seen videos of BigOto2 grapple with a single Chip's Challenge level (specifically Blocks, Bombs, and Bugs) for over 17 minutes (and that's the edited version of the video!). I tried to emulate the length of Karoshi's levels, while also coming up with a variety of ways to die to make things interesting. If I decide to make longer levels, in the vain of "Suicidal Tendencies", it would have to be a completely different level set.

#9 - Can be "solved" using just 3 blocks.

I don't see how to. . . OH. Well I feel silly.

The next version of karoshi.ccl, if there is one, will fix this bust by moving the green button up one space.

#15-16 - These were kinda pointless...

#15 has a point to it.

Explore the maze fully, or use a level editor, and you'll find the solution to level 19!

#16 exists because I figured I should make a level parodying one where you die a lot anyway. The next version of the levelset will have the hint text changed to this Darkseed reference: "This Bloblake is strangely empty and unoccupied."

#14, #19 - Boo! Totally unfair! Boo! I think #19 is unequal - because in MS you could figure it out by putting your ear to the ground, but in Lynx you would have to brute-force all ¹²C₆ combinations.

I think the reverse is true, actually. In any event, the updated version will add this hint to level 19:

If you're having difficulty with this level, play some earlier levels again to relax.
