I feel like the controls are a bit floaty though to be honest. There was tons of times I was trying to fall down 1 block width holes and I kept floating over them not being able to fit through. Same goes with trying to avoid jump pads, sometimes I'd try to squeeze past them but end up accidently just hitting them and getting killed by the swarm. So sometimes it felt like I was fighting the controls a bit. I feel like if the controls were tighter and less floaty then this game would feel a lot better to play (if that makes sense).
The colorful environment is honestly the reason why I first wanted to try your game. I have zero regrets, it was a great experience and I want to back to it and try to get a better score haha
My only issue is that in windowed mode, the mouse would still show up, which wasn't a problem in this particular game because I didn't need to click for anything, but it's a nice polish to just disable it and it's not hard to do in Unity.
Excellent work with sound and design of the environment
