Kavern is a strategy based 2D platformer game that gives the players a new perspective to navigate the levels with inverted gravity
+ Polished game with proper graphics, textures and audio, there are no bugs that I can find which affects the gameplay despite its unique mechanics.
+ Options menu for customization, which allows the user to be able to interact and play the game at their own comfort
= This game is quite difficult as it does not only have gravity shifting to navigate levels, it also treats visibility as a resource. The player has to plan several steps ahead on order to solve a level and there are also quite some trial and error required, which the player might find cumbersome or engaging.
- I noticed that there are no checkpoints in levels, which might be a frustration for bigger levels where the player is sent back to the beginning of the level for a small mistake

Thanks for the feedback
To talk a bit about checkpoints,
In the original draft there was concepts for 8 levels, in a tutorial and application type of format.
The final level would've been a larger level as a test of everything you've learnt so far.
I didn't deem it necessary to add checkpoints to the earlier levels due to their length. However checkpoints on the final level would be a great idea.
