Think you're hardcore? Punishment 2: The Punishing says otherwise photo

If you weren't lucky enough to get BioShock early, why not give this free indie game a try? It's called Punishment 2: The Punishing and it's going to kick your ass.

TheGoldenDonut sent this in to the old Destructoid tip-line and I'm not sure if I should thank him or cram a bee's nest into his mailbox. The game is certainly addicting, but it's also incredibly evil. For every time you advance to the next level, you have to make your way back to the first level to reactivate the "main switch." It may not sound that bad, but trust me, it is.

On the bright side, Punishment 2 has a fantastic, yet simple retro style. When you first start playing it, you'll probably die ... a lot. But once you get good at maneuvering your character, you'll be able to fly through the levels with ease (think Prince of Persia).

What are you waiting for? Download Punishment 2 already! I couldn't get past level 7, so see if you can make a fool out of me by getting to level 8 or higher. Remember, pics or it didn't happen.

Yeah, controls are a bit flighty. Hell I respawned and slid off an edge into water.

Also easy way back to room 2 whenever you have to come back and flip the main switch.

Drop into room 1, hit the switch and drown yourself on the left. You'll respawn from the top onto the bumper right back to room 2

Best part of level 9 is when you launch into the level, you can just hold right and land right on top of the second ballstick thingy. Badical!

I got to level 8 and finally gave up. Just couldn't get past it. Good game though.

I assume there are 10 levels then? Good job man, you rule.

@Miike

I don't have BioShock period. I want it really fucking badly though.

The whole game feels like you are moving on ice. And not in a good way. But it's still freaking addictive, as many have said. Won't tide me over until Bioshock. The only game that will tide me over until Bioshock is the Bioshock demo, which isn't out on PC yet (and probably won't be until Monday (according to 2K)).

2nd I suppose. Beat the hell out of the last score.

Now wheres my free copy of Bioshock?

I've got a horrible feeling that I'll be staying up all night trying to beat that score.

Grim - I encourage it. I wouldn't mind playing through this game again. Except level 8. I hated level 8. There were 2 poles that just didn't work correctly. Did that happen to you? 9 out of 10 times you would slide off them unable to jump rather than stay on them and stop moving...

Fuck...it's about high scores? Man. I'm playing overlord.

Darin, the first hurdle is beating the game. That in itself is an accomplishment. Then just high scores for the truly sadistic.

Now if you will excuse me I'm off to get the "Master" achievement in Super Contra. I can make it to the last level...but the floor opens up and eats me at random there.

Yeah that happened to me to on lvl 8.

I found out this awesome cheat to get to the next level! Press shift and control and hold them down, then press left. I think it works on other games too, I'm gonna try it...

It does'nt seem to work on other games. Oh well. By the way, if you press the left button you can go back a level instead of forward.

Sorry, I put the wrong thing- it's right to go forwards a level, left to go back. Sorry about that.
