This new dash mechanic is so nice! It is very well thought. On one hand, players who love challenge have to use it with caution not to deplete their score too much. On the other hand, players who just like exploring these caves have a less frustrating gameplay since it's almost always possible to escape dead ends. But in the meantime it's not trivializing the game too much since even with these dashes, your run can end on a spike or tentacle if you don't proceed with care. Overall this new version is very pleasant to play!
