or $9.74 from http://www.lifegoesongame.com/


Life Goes On is a comically-morbid platformer where you guide heroic knights to their demise and use their dead bodies to solve puzzles. Impale knights on spikes to create a safe path. Catch a knight on a saw blade (ouch!) to strategically land the body on a button. Freeze your knights into blocks of ice to reach higher ground. Make your way through this strange, treacherous, and trap-ridden world to find the Cup of Life. On your quest, you will summon knight after knight and brutally sacrifice them to solve each challenging puzzle. In Life Goes On, death is not a setback-it is the only means to success

◾Challenges your puzzle-solving skills in morbid, yet fun, ways.
◾Solve puzzles by figuring out how to kill your knights.
◾Each knight you summon has his or her own unique name.
◾Find a fuzzy side­challenge lurking in every level.
◾Journey through a treacherous world full of spikes, saws, lava, flames, cannons, ice, and more.
◾Takes a fresh look at dying in video games.

So tasty.

So tasty.

I'm beginning to fear for my tart-filled interior.

I've beaten the first two groups of levels. I need to play a bit more and then I'll write up a review later.

But I'm pretty sure I know by now where it is all going. My impression is that the demo basically represents the best of the game.

These guys won a contest for Intel and were demoing next to me at PAX Prime, game looked pretty dope. (I was demoing TorqueL, a game that won, but wasn't mine).

This

I am disappointed they did not make more use of the Knight, for example using a sword or shield

once you played the Demo you have seen everything, it is just more of the same

of course it is enjoyable, but I hoped there would of been more surprises

There was one level that brought a smile to my face and the "last/boss" levels are quite enjoyable.

To me this just highlighted what the game could have been, rather than what it is. As it stands it doesn't quite deliver with sections like the third group of levels being simply not fun.
