Thank you very much for trying it and giving us the great feedback! The checkpoint idea is good. I think the Tori gates will become checkpoints in the next version. The big guy definitely needs some tweaking too. The big guy can be double jumped or spammed with attacks also, so needs some balancing. I'll check out the clipping issue you mentioned as well. Thanks for the kind words about the art style! Most things were hand painted, including the VFX, the characters were modeled in Blender, animated with Mixamo, then turned into 2d sprite sheets with Blender. It seems to help keep the game lightweight and responsive, yet allow complex animations in a short timeframe.
