Gude! Jump n Run
This simple 2D glowing cat game is exactly what I was looking for. Simple, no storyline, just shining cats illuminating the dark and finding butterflies.
The good- easy to play, simple mechanics, very enjoyable.
The bad- There aren’t that many levels in this game. You might get at max 6 hours out of the game, but you will smile the whole time.

Upon getting this game, I was confronted with an okay-ish platformer with a decent, if rough, control scheme.
Upon getting to the later levels of the game, I was confronted with ‘Com(m)ing soon’ for one of the levels. I assumed it was labeled such because I needed to collect the collectible butterflies (I was on 38/45 required at the time), but as it turns out, after collecting the butterflies? No, the level is still under construction.
This game has a single piece of music to its soundtrack, no sound effects, and frankly, is INCOMPLETE. While I could forgive the first two issues as being part of the game’s style and theme, the incompleteness means I can’t possibly recommend this. Nothing indicates that the game lacks all levels. There’s no warning on the store page, the game’s not in early access, so… what?

Bots Are Stupid
A 2D game where you try to maneuver robots through different platforming levels. It sets itself apart from conventional platformers by offering an alternative, more precise way of user input. Instead of directly controlling the character’s movement, the player has to write a set of simple instructions telling his robot what to do. The bot will then follow those instructions precisely and maybe (or maybe not) finish the level.
Beginner-friendly
The commands for the robots are designed to be as simple as possible in order to make the game accessible to anyone. This means that you are not required to have any prior programming/tech knowledge to be able to “program” the bots. The game might also have an educational value by introducing players to the very basics of scripting/programming in a playful way.
