I guess its a memorization game - getting killed over and over and just getting a little farther each time, until you start forgetting what you were supposed to do at earlier parts of the level and then getting killed earlier and earlier each time, until you make a breakthrough and manage to get a little farther, so you get excited that "yeah, I am going to make it", and then you forget what you are supposed to do next and your dead, so you reach for the power switch and play some Bonk...
