* RealityEnsues: When Jemaine dies, he dies for good and you literally can never play the game again. After all, how can you play a game when the character you play it as, is dead?
** After beating Sir Giant Pink Lizard, Jemaine goes to rescue his girlfriend... [[spoiler: and is promptly arrested by the police for the murder of Sir Giant Pink Lizard before he can do so. Sir Giant Pink Lizard may have had it coming, but it doesn't matter what he did at the end of the day; Jemaine still took his life, and the police can't just ignore that. Granted, they didn't exactly have the whole story when they arrived at the scene, but still...]]
** It's zigzagged, however, with Jemaine being able to come back from the dead, as it isn't instantaneous and you have to refresh the page a ''lot'' of times to make it happen. That, and the fact that he essentially becomes a zombie, rendering him mindless and not even able to pick himself up after he falls over walking out of his grave.
** Sir Giant Pink Lizard's kidnapping of Jemaine's girlfriend comes back to bite him in ''The Execution'', where he's been kidnapped himself, and even blindfolded and tied to a chair, and you get to kill him. Do so, and the screen turns black with the words "Our actions have consequences" appearing in the center in white letters. And much like Jemaine, Sir Giant Pink Lizard stays dead, no matter how many times you refresh the game.

* FinalDeath:
** 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 [[spoiler: or Jemaine, for murdering Sir Giant Pink Lizard]].

One day Jemaine, a 28 year old forester from Kent, receives a note in the mail from the evil Sir Giant Pink Lizard stating that his girlfriend has been kidnapped. Jemaine sets out to rescue his girlfriend.

* RealityEnsues: When Jermaine dies, he dies for good and you literally can never play the game again. After all, how can you play a game when the character you play it as, is dead?
** After beating Sir Giant Pink Lizard, Jermaine goes to rescue his girlfriend... [[spoiler: and is promptly arrested by the police for the murder of Sir Giant Pink Lizard before he can do so. Sir Giant Pink Lizard may have had it coming, but it doesn't matter what he did at the end of the day; Jermaine still took his life, and the police can't just ignore that.]]

* RealityEnsues: After beating Sir Giant Pink Lizard, Jemaine goes to rescue his girlfriend... [[spoiler: and is promptly arrested by the police for the murder of Sir Giant Pink Lizard before he can do so.]]

* BottomlessPits: Fall down one and the ambulance drivers will say that the fall broke Jemaine's neck.

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.

[[spoiler: Well, technically, you can replay the game by simply deleting your flash history, but shhhhh!! We don't need to tell anyone that.]]
