Really wish the game have a "save and quit" feature or "checkpoint"

[Red Guy]

Two scenario I been experiencing where I wish the game have checkpoint.

1. Sometimes where I have a really good run in Monsoon but I have to log off to go to work or take a break.

2. Game crashes/bug on multiple occasion in long run.
- sometimes it doesn't spawn monsters and bosses.
- sometimes it overwhelm and crashes.
- got stuck once in the box in Rallypoint Delta (Mercenary dashed in).

Once I had a blackout and lost all the progress. I just really wish the game have a "save and quit" OR auto save every 7 stages? Allow only 3 saves so people doesn't abuse it? Or put a "save totem" that player would have to find on the stage. There's so many way to do it and I don't see the cons of putting that feature in.

Ehh not much to do about number two. That one does get into save scumming territory.
A simple suspension feature that deletes your save upon loading up would be divine though.

This has been discussed to death already so I’ll leave what I wrote on other threads.

This type of game isn't supposed to have a save feature. It's an endurance game to see how far you can go. To get the best score in a single try.
Plus, a single run usually takes no more than an hour, so quite frankly I’m fine with no save feature.
It’s a game design choice that the devs obviously wanted for a reason, whether it be to keep you under pressure or simply to say to your friends “how far can you get in one run”

If you’re planning to spend a long time on a run, doing several loops, then you could have already “won” a long time ago and doing extra is your choice.

Also this “save totem” thing could be considered the lunar shop, where time doesn’t advance and there’s no enemies. Granted it’s more of a pause than a save but you can at least go afk there in multiplayer.

There's no need to go 8 hours straight though. After the first few loops or so everything just dies in 1 hit. By the time you reach 8 hours you will be so overpowered that you could literally just press 1 button and win the stage.

So the game is intended to see how far you can go in one shot but there's no point to seeing how far you can really go? :|

Well hey, if you want to go for 8 hours straight go for it. There's a pause function so you can leave it overnight. But there's really no point.
How far you can go could be determined by real life time yes. So if you can only go a couple hours, that's your max.

You don't need to play for hours on end on Monsoon to reach that point.

But if everything is dead, it can't touch you. I've had runs last a good few hours before, i was so ridiculously powerful it broke the game and animations stopped playing, then when i teleported the screen just went black.

Most likely you broke the game in some way. I don't think it was designed to go on for that long.

it can use work at that level but its not like back then when enemys wouldnt spawn anymore, but dosnt change the fact some of us would like to keep our run going and not have it end because we have to sleep or go to work unless you can show me a guide of avoiding that

I dont get why youre so against a idea people can bassically do any ways

A pause function is not a suitable alternative to serving my man.
