BattleBlock Theater Multiplayer without dying?

[Chimpthony]

I recently purchased Battleblock Theater, and have been playing it with a friend. It's a fun game, but it seems that sometimes the only solution to a puzzle is to kill yourself so that you respawn by your team mate. Am I just not seeing the solution, or is death necessary to beat the game? Is it even possible to beat the multiplayer without dying?

Death is not necessary to beat any of the official puzzles. You might be experiencing a framerate issue -- please try rebooting your computer, and disabling any background applications that could interfere with performance.

The game runs fine, and works well. It just seems that sometimes you can help your team mate up somewhere, but then there's no way for them to help you up. The game works fine, and we are able to utilize all of the mechanics, but to beat some of the levels we've had to have one person suicide so that they respawn by the other person. I was just wondering if this is part of the game, or if we just aren't finding the solution that doesn't require death.
The reason I thought death might be part of the game is that there's no penalty for dying, so killing yourself to respawn by your team mate is a faster way of beating the levels in some cases.
Thanks for responding.

If you are interested in beating the insane co-op mode, you might want to start finding out how to get through puzzles without death exploits. You both need to make it alive on one life, in insane co-op. it makes it pretty awesome to try and find the solutions. (then again, there's always the dart gun/walking frog/shock-blast ball^^)
Thank you devs! Did they create the dart gun as an anti-frustration device? I wonder...
