Cons
Con Death means a restart at the beginning of the level, no halfway points
Gunman Clive has zero mid level checkpoints, which means upon death the player will have to restart all over again at the beginning of the level.
Con May start repeating some aspects after 3000 holes
Being that the game is so minimal there is most likely only so many variations that can be randomized before some particulars start to get repeated. Supposedly this may happen around the 3,000 holes mark.
