well I jsut replayed the thing and managed to get stuck in the most likely final area of the game.
well, just the thing is I kind of missed the attack upgrade this time (cant remember where the dang thing was again)
so I cant attack the final boss. and getting back up is impossible due to red snake like pattern on the left wall which I would have to climb.

softlocked is probably the right name for that.

even though i doubt anyone except me would try to get past all the big red dashing and jumping squares without any attack abilities :-D

third playthrough, got into the void via the area next to the wall jump upgrade.
just need a little skill and you can get around that wall.

no wall can stop me! >:-D

That’s quite the feat to get past that wall, when I was developing it, I thought is there any way someone could get over this, and after failing numerous times, I deemed it impossible. Well done ! What’s the highest grade you’ve gotten ?

You mean how many brown suares I got before I died?
no idea, the brown counter was about 100 or so.

didnt really actively try to increase it since it wasnt exactly obvious what it did anyway.
the first "ability" tells you that you get stronger the more you are hurt. but it aint exactly obvious how to do that.

run around with only 1 health (the blue number)?
have tons of brown squares collected?

yeah, climbing that wall wasnt too tough, getting from one side to the other was a bit hard since you basically had to react fast enough after letting go of the wall on one side or you would be too low for a jump to reach the other side.

After you beat the final boss, you will be given a grade depending on the number of “coins” (brown squares) and upgrades. That’s what they are for, and it’s tough to keep a lot because if you die, you lose them all. The first ability relates to when you have low health, you deal more damage to the enemies. You may claim it wasn’t too tough, but I’m still impressed. ;) Glad you like the game !

You can attack with the shift key from the start, did you just forget which key to press ? ;D Getting to the final boss without killing any of them is quite impressive, you’re quite skilled at this game !
