Hmm, the least favorite part of the game.
Dunno who it was that wanted less check points, Max Mustard is your game. It also has a hearts system (3 max, yet falls are always game over) I would like more checkpoints lol.
Anyway I haven't returned to the game since I beat the final boss, still missing 2 bots and a puzzle piece. (Which should be in the slot machine, just haven't bothered to spend my 15K coins) Opposite effect Rift Apart had where I started a second run straight away. Wish they would add any sort of incentive for ng+.
