Really enjoyable game. My only minor criticism - as others have mentioned - was having to reach for Esc to close the checkpoint dialog. Combining / equipping abilities only from the checkpoints was an interesting choice and could make for some interesting puzzles. 

Absolutely outstanding. Lots of really funny writing and I was sad when I missed some of it the casters' dialogue due to playing the game :sweat_smile: 

Ka pai Yugesh! Thank you for your submission!

Nau mai! Welcome!
