I liked the "rewind" effect every time I collected an objective, and I really like the small, discreet dots pointing to the next objective.\r\rOne possible improvement is that it is still easy to fall on the "Where is the last goal?" syndrome in this game. Maybe the goal indicators should have a longer range.\r\rCheers, and thanks for the game!
