Thank you for the comment! Yeah, I realized after submitting the game that the "respawn with just one heart" existed, and I didn't had a way to fix it (due to the upload restriction). That was not the intended way of playing, so I inmedeately updated the description on the game page. to clirify that. I'm sorry that the bug obscured your experience.
Also, I noted that the "Shield" was activated from the very beggining, contrary as it was originally intended. So, a lot of bugs that I didn't notice before it was to late.
Thanks again for the rate and comment!
