One day Jemaine, a 28
The game's gimmick is that you literally only live once. Unlike most platformer games, if you die, you die for good. No extra lives, no one-ups, nothing. Instead, when you try to play the game again, you are treated to a series of animations regarding Jemaine's death {{spoiler|(or, if you manage to beat the game, Sir Giant Pink Lizard's death)}}. And you will never be able to play the game again. Ever.

* [[Fake Skill]]: Exploits which allow replay. They allow the player to practice until they actually manage to beat the game.
* [[Final Death]]: The concept is taken to the logical extreme here. You die in the game and that's it, no playing it over again.
** The Sequel, "The Execution" performs this too, but with whoever killed you
