We just updated the Hamster Ballers demo so you can now start from checkpoints you’ve reached!
Now, once you reach a checkpoint, it will be saved. The next time you play, you can choose which saved checkpoint to start from, both online or solo.
A couple notes:
Checkpoint progress from before this update was not saved, so older progress will not appear.
Any checkpoints you reach from now on will be saved going forward.
You can choose your starting checkpoint when beginning a run.
This was a clear pain point, so we wanted to get it in. Now to everyone diving back in, may hamster speed be with you!
Thanks,
Nick and Robin
