I know that it's the theme but it's a pretty random decision to make, when you don't know how long the game will be. If you've done it once per level then it would be better, I think. You're tempted to restart the game, to progress your checkpoint further and further, but that's not really fun.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game itself was fun though, controls were decent, art\/sfx too."},{"author_name":"Alismuffin","author_uid":"29410","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 11:53am","epoch":1387280880,"text":"Platforming felt nice!

I don't really care for the checkpoint mechanic, because you have to know how long the game is to make the placement really meaningful.\r<br\/>That said, I really liked the experience, although I haven't played it to the end. :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Cheers, Marcus"},{"author_name":"lapayo","author_uid":"30090","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 6:35pm","epoch":1387305000,"text":"That game is great to play.

I'd like to finish it but man I just can't do it, it took 15 minutes to get to the ice level.  I really dislike the one checkpoint mechanic.  It would have been really cool per level, but per game just made it really &gt;&lt;  Especially when there is so much that insta-gibs you.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Besides that the game was really good and fun, but killing enemies was really difficult without taking damage.
