## Description
_Punishment: The Punishing_ is the sequel to Punishment. It is a masochistic
platformer where the player is constantly punished for both success and
failure. It consists of different rooms that can be exited through an
elevator. To open the entrance, a switch must be flipped and it is usually
located on a hard-to-reach platform. In the first game, the player was
punished for missing a platform by being dropped down several levels. In the
sequel, retracing your steps becomes a necessity.
As soon as a new room is unlocked, the player needs to travel back to the
lowest level to flip the main switch and then work his way back up. On top of
that, dying in a room forces the player to replay and flip all switches of
that room again. There are no objects that flip controls or turn the room like
in the first game. Instead, it is heavily focused on jumping with precision
and timing moving platforms.
There are only controls for movement and jumping, and the game can be played
by two players using a single keyboard. An updated version of the game
introduced automatic saving and online highscores.
