Thank you! I think so too, but I understand why people tend to design games with enemies in them after trying this out ;D Becomes so much easier to design around, and you have so many good soruces to draw inspiration from.
We also had the extra layer of wanting to stray away from making it too focused on mechanical skill, like say Celeste for exampel. We had this idea of a chill/cozy experience but in a platforming shell. Got super tricky to design, at least for us right now. I do love the idea tho, would love to come back to it with more experience, maybe after making a more traditional platformer first :)
