pretty cool arcade-style game! felt very polished although a little simple for my liking

Thank you! Yeah, the guardians needs some work indeed! And perhaps lowering the jump force a bit. Thanks for playing!

Really enjoyed it! Although maybe a bit too easy, but a great casual experience. I could see myself just jumping on platforms just to relax, like meditation. The music also helped to invoke this feeling. Great job!

Clean Aesthetic with an even Cleaner gameplay loop. Awesome job!

Thank you! I was going for a Thomas Was Alone aesthetic, but I never got the time to add the visual polish I wanted to complete the circle on that one.

Cool idea! Could be a little harder, im finding there's no real consequence to jumping when the guardian is around if you just strafe a bit. Great Job!

Thanks! And I totally agree, I never had the time to completely polish that part of the game. The initial idea was to make that part of the game the core part, to make it very obvious that jumping was something you had to do only at certain times, with more complex AI behaviour etc. Oh well!
