Lives & GAME OVER

[Triple J]

It kind of ruins the challenge of a level if it is some kind of "play until you win" thing. I believe every platformer should have "lives" and a "game over" feature. Doesn't it make things more interesting?
It may be frustrating to restart a level all over again, but is all that really so bad if you can get back to where you were?

If a "Life" system gets added, we could add "extra lives" as collectibles, too!

Portal and Portal 2 didn't need lives. Last Legacy doesn't need them either.

The reason those games didn't need lives was because having them would add frustration to the game. The same applies here. It's why a lot of newer games are praised for doing away with lives. There are some cases where a lives system would work, but I don't think that Last Legacy needs them.

That actually makes sense. I didn't think about frustration at the time, so yeah, I guess Last Legacy is better off without lives if we want to avoid frustrating its players, then. Gotta retain quality. :3
