Hey ! Your life is shown by the big Yellow SpotLights on the stage. 1 hit = 1 light goes down. When you clear a cycle you get a light back. When you are in the red/dark ambiance, it mean you are right about to die if you take one more hit. Our idea was to make a game with no UI for fitting good with the theater theme, and I can admit that the understanding of the player's life and what the player sees isn't always clear. I hope you'll take another try to finally figuring this out :-)
