Game Over

A "game over" is an event that occurs when Quote loses all of his health, usually causing him to explode. Instant death can be caused by drowning, falling off The Island, being crushed by a Press, getting hit by the Basil roaming round the Egg Corridor, and touching Death Spikes. If the player chooses the option to retry, Quote respawns at the last Save Point or the game's beginning if he has not saved anywhere yet. If the player chooses not to retry, the game restarts itself. In the event of falling off of the island the game over message will instead read "You were never seen again..." as opposed to the normal message. This can happen at the Outer Wall and Balcony. Drowning will instead read You drowned., unless the player drowned after defeating the Core, which will just proceed with the game in the occasion.
