WHERE AM I?
I came here by dying in the "crossroads" of the sewer.
EDIT: I also dislike the lack of invincibility frames; it was very easy to die to small enemies such as the mini mushrooms in the cave and the flies in the sewer.
I'm not saying that I hated my time with this game, though! I liked a bunch of aspects of it.
Also, I figured out that I teleported to the end of the game, because I recognized the lack of exit is because it's guarded by the final boss. Nope! It's actually the beginning.
