Man alive! Thank you very much - we're happy to see that you gave it a chance! Oh, we should have specified - those poop-like things, they cause that blue bar on the player's back to recharge, so you can make it to the next checkpoint (the blue circles in the ground). Otherwise, the player just ends up back at the first checkpoint. We really needed to push those instructions out further. Wish we had a bit more time to flesh those out.
