And it's something that Levelhead almost got right - restarting from death takes a fraction of a second, so you're not waiting around to restart much.

But I think it might also be too short - which encourages people to make even harder levels, often artificially hard to the point of requiring random chance to beat. Even the campaign's levels are incredibly hard, and the user levels are even harder, which ends up with the game being innaccessible!

I think that the biggest problem with super mario maker is that level editors like this encourage you to make tricky stuff, but the time penalty for dying is far too large and frustrating!

You can see this with basically everyone who plays mario maker levels - every time they die, they immediately pause the game, go down, and select "start over", because even though that takes several seconds, it's still faster than waiting for the death animation.

a quote from the article:

the concept for the Gonarch emerged from an idle brainstorming session when someone at the company posed the idea, "Why don't we put a giant testicle on a 20-foot-tall armored spider?"

half life is a game that has won many many awards.

me, jokingly: my favourite half life boss is the gonarch
partner: the what
me: the gonarch! You know, the giant headcrab with balls?
partner: what!?!?
me: oh no, what have I introduced to you

partner: *spends the next hour on the half life wiki, learning a great number of messed up things*
