Gods is a game about someone who wants to become a god and gain immortality. This is a delicate and paradoxical issue, since on one hand temporal immortality can be bought at just about every shop, and on the other hand the hero dies 11 (eleven) times, which has to be some kind of Nesvideos record.
Another fun aspect is bomb-jumping, which allows both higher jumps and traveling vertically through walls. Almost the whole final level is skipped with this trick.
