I prefer the third pic, I think it suits best for Jump n' Run, The second one has too much straight ways.
An idea: as it's often done in race game, you could provide two ways to win the match, one shorter but more difficult and the standard one.
I've done some littles works this weekend. I've reimplemented Timer in Pawn, Start/Stop/Consume Volume, I also implemented the first powerup item (inspired from health vial). I created a simple HUD which display remaining time and a bar on the upper left corner.
ConsumeVolume is based on DamageVolume but I still don't understand
why health has to be linked to time???. My ConsumeVolume takes only the timer of PhysicsVolume, no damage is done to the player when entering this volume for now.
What do you think?
