Level Design

First Frame

Second Frame

Seventh Frame

First Frame

1/7

For levels to be fast to load a frame management system was implemented.

All levels are composed by many sequential frames, which could count as a small checkpoint within a level. If you die within a frame, you will respawn at the begging of that frame and start from scratch.

No scene loading is required since we only spawn again needed game objects and also we clean what we won't be using anymore.
