Actually it’s a very slow death each time. I can understand a penalizing you but if a death takes more than 10 seconds you ruin the fun of the game. That and there some parts were you will just keep dying over and over because you’re trapped. LIterally, you cannot move, you keep hitting your head on something over and over when trying to get up.

I got to the gears but every time I fell over, I jumped with superhuman abilities backwards down off the ledge into the gears.
