Run For Cover received 2 exciting updates in the recent weeks. These updates added a checkpoint system, more abilities, a character sheet and a challenge mode!

Update #31 introduces 2 checkpoints to the game. A small animation in the corner indicates that a checkpoint was triggered and that the game just stored your progress permanently. The last checkpoint is loaded when restarting the game or by clicking 'Continue' in the main menu. You can still play without checkpoints by clicking on the 'Challenge' button in the mission selection. The challenge mode is only slightly harder than the story mode for now.
