Hey, Unity and Godot are large tools, very capable tools, but with that comes complexity. Can I suggest trying a dedicated 2D game tool, such as PIXELFALLS.co.uk.
Fantastic cute game, completed it, then completed your other game Petal Quest. I am the developer of a new 2D creation tool PIXELFALLS.co.uk. it would be great to communicate with you directly Noel and see if you would be interested in creating a game in that?
