Thank you for playing the game and your feedback! I agree that some of the checkpoints should have been better implemented. With the shoe you need only to move in the opposite direction of the shoe (towards the screen) and avoid the pitfalls as you do so. I hope when you return to see it through you'll keep that in mind, you were so nearly at the end! I'm happy you had fun, I'll be sure to check your game out too! :)
