As this is essentially a rage platformer, I think it would be better if you ditched the lives system. But nonetheless I enjoyed getting trolled by it.
yeah I've gotten that comment a few times, can definitely take it out!
I didn't really want it to be a rage platformer, which is why each item works the same way all the time (although, it may not work in the way you would expect, based first appearance...if that makes sense.) No trick, a coin will always hurt you, a metal platform will always disappear, gaps can always be walked over, etc...
thanks for playing! :)
