I never even knew i could run out of lives on Standard, thought it just meant I'd have to restart an episode if I died 3 times, not the entire game. Just game over'd at the first boss and never even really got a chance to learn it and now I gotta restart the game, feels a bit eh but whatever.

Same thing just haapened to me. Doesn't seem like you should have to restart the gamne in Standard mode, that's usually something hardcore modes feature.

Dev's please make it where you just have to restart the level in standard mode instead for the whole game. I would really be pissed if I was a lot farther along in the game!

that's why I hit casual mode. I play to have fun and not to prove to myself that i'm bad ass. if I played standard and had a game over and had to restart the entire game over I would have been mad but hey I'm a casual player so it's all good

Yeah I just ran into "run out of lives" syndrome about 56 levels into the game. Did I mention that the last episode has insta-death lava pits?

I like to play on hard, just cause, but seriously this is stupid game design. You don't make a player restart the game after 8-10 hours.

Gave it 1*

Which is a shame, because I was really enjoying myself until suddenly the game thought I shouldn't be playing it anymore.

RESPECT THE PLAYER'S TIME
