If youre referring to the section of the dungeon in particular when referring to the checkpoints, I actually enjoyed the frustration from it lol
I had to cut it to make time for the submission, but if you talked to berry, shed tell you to meet sode at the dungeon in exchange for a broom, and the reason why was "I had to find a way to make the game harder" lol.
But youre right, the level design of each level needs to be more intuitive, thank you!!
