Initially, the static camera felt odd, but you can get used to it. It would be nice to have a little shadow under the Pong ball so it would be easier to determine where it will land because it's difficult to see that with that static camera. Sometimes the game forgets the checkpoint and spawns me at the beginning (maybe I hit R accidentally, but idk). I liked the level design and the Pong game at the beginning.
PS. Where did you find the sound for the checkpoints? At first, I thought that my controller is somehow connecting, but then found out that it was the checkpoint XD
