Thanks for the honest review.

If checkpoints negate the frustration of constantly dying, I may end up picking this one up on PS4 this year anyway.

It seems like Guacamelee is still the best platformer out for this generation (I enjoyed it more than the 2 Mario games I have).

The checkpoints are a really cool risk versus reward thing. You can just use it as a regular checkpoint or you can destroy it and get money, but if you die you have to start from the beginning of the level.

Considering how easy money is to come by, I don't think breaking checkpoints is worth it unless you want to challenge yourself.
