thanks for playing :3
i think having a counter on the checkpoints was brought up at one point, but we wanted to avoid having unneeded text (show don't tell yknow) (correct me if i'm wrong lmao)
the final checkpoint is good for showing there Is an End but i can see players giving up after like checkpoint 4 thinking it never ends
The design justification for the four buttons is twofold:
1. It is a very active hazard. It is something the player can mess up really easily and tells them that it is something that they really need to do right. It makes it very clear what the penalty doohickeys do
2. it is the most obvious indication that things on panels can be clickable. It's buttons that are designed to be very inviting to click! It teaches the player that you can click on panels as well, unlike the snail.
So that's the reason we put in the four buttons so early ^-^. It doesnt show up for a while again after because it is quite demanding, but exactly for that reason makes it a really good doohickey to interact with early to set expectations.

Glad you enjoyed! I was thinking in the last day of working on this that if this was a game I could've played back in the flash era I would've gone crazy over it haha.
