Wow! That's a compliment and a half - thanks. I think it may have been a smart idea to make a checkpoint every few levels, I think one checkpoint for every level is a bit much considering the level count here.

I think grind-from-start games work better when you can do it faster on second try. The levels are really hard because I designed them after two weeks of playtesting and I find the first 10 or so to be relatively easy. If nobody passes level 6 I'm debating posting a video or livestreaming myself playing through the game so you can all see how far it gets.
EDIT: I think we didn't retest the levels after getting the AI to handle guns and bombs properly. I can't get past level 9.
Thank you for the compliments. The amount of time I spent on the eel's behaviour especially was probably too much. The story was planned to be given by the old man sleeping in the hut, but I ran out of time. As for indicators, I tried to make most of the tech in bright colors, so it would be easier to see, and the pickups bob up and down.
