Get powerups for your weapon and health. You have two lives from the start. You lose them, you fail. It&#8217;s like Splunky of having a permadeath. However, you don&#8217;t have to start from the beginning. You got save points that&#8217;ll allow you to keep playing.<br \/>\nAnd unlike Splunky, you can get extra lives to continue to play even longer. But the deeper you trek, the more enemies you&#8217;ll encounter; some even mini-bosses.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; that&#8217;s basically it for this game.
