Thank you for the nice review! The pads are pseudo-checkpoints, they don't save you when you die, but they are an infinite source of health. The downside is that it takes time to fill your health, thus leading to a lower score. I wanted to make it obvious when a blast would shotgun an enemy, but we ran out of time to make it. We worked hard and uploaded probably 10 test builds to get that performance. Web builds are super tricky :v
