I am addicted to hard content and I love the brutally difficult games like I Wanna Be The Guy, Battle Kid, Super Meat Boy that inspired Tribulation Mode.
However, one thing is that attempting any zone in Tribulation Mode is usually at least a one-hour time commitment; for some of the later zones often 2-3 hours. In addition, disconnecting, crashing, or otherwise having to log off will ruin an attempt in progress, which can be very disheartening.
For the next SAB release, Tribulation Mode would really benefit from a system to save your last reached checkpoint mid-zone. The last checkpoint you reached is preserved and you automatically return there provided you go back to the same zone. If you go to any other zone the next time you return to SAB, you are warned you will be overwriting your progress.
With this, more players could attempt SAB Tribulation Mode in bite-sized pieces, doing one checkpoint at a time and taking a break, instead of the marathon it requires now. With Tribulation Mode, you already cannot join a run in progress, so similarly if someone boots up their old run no one can “cheat” and join in the middle of it.
tl; dr: For the next SAB Release, the game would benefit greatly from a limited progress saving feature that remembers the last checkpoint you reached in a Zone if you didn’t clear it.
