Reviews for "Checkpoint"

It's okay but...

The mechanics need to be refined, wall sliding/jumping felt random since it works in unexpected ways. The difficulty of levels seem scattered. You can have one easy level to an extremely hard one, the difficulty level just jumps around. Also the fake switches/doors just adds fake difficulty and annoyance since all you've worked for is ruined because of a fake switch.

Overall the game is okay, it just needs to be more balanced along with the mechanics fixed.

pretty good game...

but I HATE those dragons... over half of all my deaths were from those damn dragons! >.<

Everything is good except:

the game is glitched as f*ck!!! and the controls are pretty bad, like when you jump against a wall, that sucks. This game isn't enjoyable, but it isn't bad

Pretty alright

I like the lines it says when you die. Some of them are really interesting to consider, like "How many deaths is your life worth?" especially because you would think that you are causing your own death in new bodies, but it could make you think otherwise and then consider how we do this in real life situations. I like games that make me think and tie it in with how the game is played. Here we use the dead bodies of our predecessors to make progress in an immediate and literal way.
Other that this element though, it's just your typical platformer. I understand it is difficult to come up with fundamentally new ideas when so many have already been thought of, so that doesn't really bother me.
One issue I had though was a bug that made it impossible to keep playing the game. On a level where there was an ice platform and a small opening to get through I'm guessing the player hitbox went inside the wall above his head and he died. Then when I tried to make it through that hole again it wouldn't let me pass through because of the dead body in the way. If you could install a level reset feature to clear all the dead bodies then that would make this game better.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

fine

very good original game. the controls are good but some things like the wall jump and the sliding need to be improved. also the guy should really move faster while in the water but good idea for the game. it was fairly decent.
