1:21
While I was rolling around with one heart left because I played the jerk in
1:22
heart left because I played the jerk in
1:22
heart left because I played the jerk in this game, I struck one of the hard

shelled bugs and died. I figured I was just going to get a game over and that
1:29
just going to get a game over and that
1:29
just going to get a game over and that was fine for me. But when I started back
1:30
was fine for me. But when I started back
1:30
was fine for me. But when I started back at that safe point of plants, I guess I
1:33
at that safe point of plants, I guess I
1:33
at that safe point of plants, I guess I was able to go back to where I died and
1:34
was able to go back to where I died and
1:34
was able to go back to where I died and grab my pack of supplies. So dying in
1:37
