Life Goes On Done to Death

Life Goes On: Done to Death is a comically morbid puzzle platformer where death isn't a setback — it's the core mechanic. The framing: a mighty king who wants to live forever sends his army of knights to find the Cup of Life, and you control a steady stream of those knights as they are systematically sacrificed in the puzzles standing between them and immortality. Each dead knight becomes a piece of the next puzzle for the knight after.

The specific puzzle vocabulary is the central joke. Impale a knight on spikes to create a safe walking surface for the next one. Catch a knight on a sawblade to weight a pressure plate. Electrocute knights to open doors. Freeze knights into ice blocks to reach higher ground. Blast knights out of cannons. Zombify a knight to turn them into a violent, dim-witted ally for as long as it takes to solve the room. The mechanical inventiveness is what carries the design across its full length without the joke wearing thin.

The campaign covers more than 65 levels across four vibrant, colourful worlds — lava, ice, spike pits, portals, zombies, cannons, the full vocabulary. Extra-difficult challenge levels reward puzzle-addicts who want harder objectives, and Steam achievements push you to solve specific rooms with minimal knight casualties or in record time. Unlockable silly hats and weapons let your knights spawn wearing beanies and berets while wielding dead fish or spatulas, which is the right kind of texture for a game whose entire premise is that the knights are essentially disposable.
