Have you seen some master-level playthroughs on YouTube? They do sometimes die, but not every wave. It's still an insanely hard game. The crazy thing about the lives is that they wrap around modulo 128 (maybe it's 256), (and you can't see the count beyond 3 or 4!) which means that if you are unlucky when it wraps around and you die, then it's game over, even if you have been absolutely killing it wave after wave. Haha. Exciting!
