Thanks heaps for playing. Knowing there would be a lot of deaths, I wanted dying to feel fun too. Fortunately for me here in Australia, we had a public holiday at the beginning of the jam. Not having to go in to work for just that 1 extra day allowed me to put in an entire day. I then had to force myself every work day to keep adding more to the game, wanting to get as much done as possible. Using art packs saved a lot of time.
At the end of level 20, the pressure plates are close enough so that only 1 player needs to touch them to finish. Congrats for getting so far through it solo, its much harder alone.
Very valuable feedback I'll definitely be making some changes when I get more time. I will probably add a key press that restarts the level as you mentioned and definitely tweak the hit boxes...btw your game is one of my favourites so far (Dark Companion)
