Hey I found glitch
It is, in fact, the only way I beat the game. It might just be because my computer is stuck in the stone age, but as I play and my heath gets down low, If I time it so that I pick up a health pack right as I explode, it tells me I won the level instead of telling me game over. It happens every time no matter where I am in the level. So, other than that, the game is wicked hard and pretty well made, but fix that glitch =D
