Life Goes On: Done to Death

What it’s like

Life Goes On: Done to Death is a comically morbid puzzle-platformer that flips the traditional genre on its head by making death the primary mechanic. You guide hapless knights through trap-laden medieval levels, sacrificing them repeatedly to use their corpses as physical tools—bridges, weights, or shields—to reach the Cup of Life. The experience is defined by its clever, dark humor and inventive environmental puzzles that require creative, often gruesome, problem-solving. Visually, it features a charming, hand-drawn aesthetic that balances grotesque comedy with lighthearted charm. While the narrative premise provides context, the core appeal lies in the tight, responsive controls and the satisfaction of outsmarting deadly traps through iterative failure. It offers a substantial amount of content with varied puzzles, though the focus remains strictly on mechanical ingenuity rather than deep world-building or complex character arcs.
