[SPOILER AHEAD]
Hey, glad you liked it, I didn't really have much time with this due to other stuff going on outside of the game jam, the lack of a checkpoint system is intentional though because I wanted to mess with the player a little by having the NPC at the start tally up the player deaths and having the player at the start every time means the player could potentially accidentally die again and be pushed back to the start to have the NPC say the player's death total again.
