The health bar needs to be brighter and explicitly flash every time you take damage. It took me forever to figure out that everything was trying to kill me.

+ if there should be a save file---and a pause menu!

I never found Access Level 4 but I found Access Level 5? Is there any way to not die when you get to the girl?

While Don't Look Back is truy an awe-inspired game, and one of my all-time favorites out of the indie scene, the charater is hardly original in design. When the visuals are so minimalistic, it really is hard to come up with character sprites that look unique, since the visual style does not allow for any detail whatsoever. So no, the character is not "stolen", it is just that both games use the same graphic design technique, one that has been around since games were first invented.

>.< So sad! The connection between the start and the end was deeply meaningful... The simple graphics with the somewhat creepy music go together great. The game makes you go through a slightly hard adventure of hope and confusion. I really can't wait for the sequel. Wonderful game, 5 stars!
