Blessed Burden

Each individual level is short enough that a run through one shouldn't be long at all, making it much easier to try shaving time off your best run by slamming the retry button after crossing the finish line and diving back in. The game incentivizes you to try by having bronze, silver, and gold times listed on level completion, and by having your best run be visible as a ghost on reruns, so you can see what you did and know when you've pulled ahead. As you complete levels, and find and assemble relic fragments hidden in the levels, you get points to put into upgrades for your speed, ability to slide and dive, and your jump. It's a good way to handle character progression because it rewards exploration and the game makes a point to build in so many …
