There are several reasons for that:\r - the spikes (or their hitboxes) are too large; it's way too easy to slide onto one while simply trying to move to the edge of a platform\r - since bullets aren't erased when losing a life, and the spawn point is in one turret's line of fire, dying sometimes spawns you right on top of a bullet, meaning one or more insta-deaths\r - and finally, the player's momentum isn't nullified when respawning, either. That, combined with a spike right above the spawn point, meant 4-5 extra deaths each time I died while jumping."},{"author_name":"MRvanderPants","author_uid":"20836","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 11:49am","epoch":1367322240,"text":"Awesome game with solid gameplay.
