Jesse Venbrux is back with the fifth chapter in the popular Karoshi series, and his second Flash browser game to feature everyone's favorite protagonist with the trademark blue suit. In Super Karoshi you not only have to figure out ways to commit suicide but occasionally assist other similarly-looking characters to do the same as well.

Unlike Karoshi Suicide Salaryman, nearly all of the puzzles to be found in this release are original and have never been featured in previous iterations. There are roughly sixty stages to play in total.

Halleluja! I've been waiting for this a very long time. I hope it doesn't dissappoint.

Oh man, the music for this is top notch.

Awesome, I was looking forward to a new one! I really like the puzzles in this, they're a happy medium between the outside-the-box puzzles of 2.0 and the more strategic ones from Factory.

Also I really appreciate the music being a Karoshi Factory remix. Love that song.

The "outside the box" ones are always my favorite. I thought this version was pretty good though I was hoping for a better last level :P

Cortex Command yesterday, today new Karoshi!
Someone pinch me if I am sleeping!

At this point, I wish Jesse'd stop making new Karoshi games and start doing something interesting for a change. At least he has that awesome 21 prototypes project. I loved Karoshi 1 & 2, Factory was okay, but these flash ones are pretty meh.

Lot's more Karoshi fun, even if some of the levels seemed a little too familiar. I liked the whole Super Karoshi mechanic.

Are there multiple endings, or was that it?

2Dcube is flogging a dead horse. I gave up on him after Karoshi Factory.

Where's the teleport receiver on the screenshot?
