Play it now! The title of the game "Past-Life" captures both the mechanics of the game, and how we met the theme. In the game you control a character who must reach a flag at the end of each level. You can kill yourself in order to unleash a power. Each power changes the level in some way. When you are re-born, you can take advantage of the change that your past life made. Use the arrow keys to move, tab to cycle through your powers, and space to use a power.
