Tragically, a proper working checkpoint system had to be cut for time haha, it was something I really wanted to get in. If we continue the project, it would be one of the first things to fix for sure.
I appreciate the kind words :D We wanted to push for something less game-jam esc and more, game demo like, and while it ended up causing us to cut a few key aspects (like a checkpoint system, but also other small polishing), I'm really glad all the other elements came together as well as they did.
Thank you for playing <3 It's appreciated a lot
