Sounds interesting!
It reminded me of an old platformer game,
New Zealand Story. If you got far enough through the game on one life and lost your last life, you would go to hell instead of getting Game Over. If you could get out of the hellishly difficult level, you were given an extra life or credit. (I'm guessing. I never actually made it out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />)
Challenging Death for a second chance?
