I enjoyed playing this game, though as SkyCharger said, it would have helped (to a minor degree, but still would) to have had a countdown as well, since I too thought you could die endlessly, until it was Game Over at my 89th or 90th death :p
This was a very nice game to play, especially for a Metroid-like made with minimal graphics and with the help of the PICO-8 engine, no less :)
Would have been farer if the game counted down to one's last live instead of counting up the deaths and creating the illusion that there is no last live to worry about.
Not a bad idead. Tbh I didn't thought people would died this many times. See it a consequence of dying too many times. Plus at the end you have score penalties for each of your deaths so there's consequences
I kept letting myself die just as a shortcut back to the checkpoint, since most games like this (that I've played) don't have limited lives. I didn't even notice it was keeping track until the number was 81 or so, but even then I didn't worry about it until the game over screen. I was enjoying experimenting to see where I could go.

You're a sicko haha! You played too much super meat boy and cie ;)
this game is shit it doesn't even work. It tells me to press O and X and it doesn't work, I'm just stuck in the start menu.
It's C not O.
To be honest, it looks like an O, though I pressed C anyway :p
Before calling a game "shit" please take a look at what's written no need to be mean :)
Hey! Played some of this on my channel, really impressive amount of stuff in it for a PICO-8 game!
looks so good. nice work!!
It took me 22min, nice game. :)
Somehow I managed it in 24 minutes 25 seconds 24 milliseconds, that too in my second playthrough, so nice record you got there :)
looks great so far, love it!
