Wow. When this game says you only live once, it means it. I thought it meant like if I die once, I have to start the entire game over.

Great game, but I wish I could reset. I died on the first level! D:

If you refresh enough times after the gravestone is fully covered in grass (I don't remember how many - around 15-30?), you'll see a hand pop out of the ground and slide back down. Next refresh, it'll be gone, but a few more refreshes and you'll get two hands. Few more, you'll be risen from the grave. Next one, you'll be fallen over. You'll be fallen over a couple more refreshes, but after those, you'll be gone. I don't know if anything more happens after that. Maybe it's possible to play as a zombie?
