After you pass every 4 levels you get to pay for a shortcut. Believe me, it's not possible to beat the 16 lvls the game throws at you in a one go.
At first I thought so as well. But then when v1.0 was released, I actually reached the final level all the way from the start. I even found the secret level too.
Luck and practice plays a huge role in this game.
Some hints for the new players:
# The altar (grey slab) is useful. Try dropping bodies (dead or otherwise) on it and see what happens.
# You can't jump-stomp the plants unless you're wearing spiked boots. Don't even try it.
# Every idol you find is booby-trapped. Try to spot the trap before grabbing the idol. In the case of the Crystal idol, the trap will
follow you...
# Everything you can pick up can be used as a makeshift projectile...and I do mean
everything.
# Shopkeepers are tough bastards, don't try to fight one until you've gotten a good feeling for the game.
# Dropping live bombs in (or near) a shop will make the shopkeeper shout "TERRORIST!" and come after you.
# Some of the tougher monsters don't care about your whipping skills.
# When a level starts with a message of some kind, it means there's something special on that level. A good example is the "I hear snakes...I hate snakes!" message, this means that there's a huge pit full of snakes in the level. If you go down into the pit, don't expect to climb back out of it again, another way out is available...
