After playing the game a while, I thought "how lovely it would be to have a simultaneous replay of all your deaths ala super meat boy".
Although I would be very surprised if that is even possible.
After further play I decided that it would also be cool if the game saved a demo of your winning performance for each screen. After completing the game, there would be an option to watch a replay of your playthrough, but of course none of your failures would be represented. The contrast between your apparent ninja skills and the memory of all those deaths seems like it would make for fun watching.
I would be impressed if this was doable, but not terribly surprised if it wasn't.
The idea of replaying it in flip mode was very clever. But it made me wonder, what about a 90 degrees rotated mode? It would of course be called >>>>>>.
It would also be a little silly, taking the idea too far perhaps.
But the number one thing I wanted throughout the game was a death counter for each screen. A display in the corner of the screen would be nice. Even better would be if the "C" on each checkpoint was replaced with a digit display* that increments every time I restart at that checkpoint.
If I'm honest with myself, the checkpoint display thing seems a little too dynamic for the style of the game. A death-counter in a corner would still really be nice.
*Two digits would be fine, using 3*3 to fit them in if needed. There's a few ways to deal with deathcounts over 99. The counter might change colour. Or have dots appear over the checkpoint, representing 100 undisplayed deaths each. Or let it cycle back to 100 since the player is unlikely to forget so many deaths in that location - it's a very period-appropriate "bug" even. I would also be amused if the display just glitched past 99 and showed nonsense characters.
EDIT
