The Custodian is a pixel-art puzzle-platformer where you guide a mysterious entity through four atmospheric levels filled with perilous traps and environmental puzzles. It was created by a team of three high school students with minimal prior game development experience during a rapid, two-day game jam.

• Four hand-crafted levels: Each presents distinct challenges, mechanics, and obstacles.
• Unique pixel-art style: Atmospheric backgrounds and a mysterious protagonist.
• Physics-based platforming: Moving platforms, falling obstacles, gravity wells, and more.
• Checkpoints and power-ups: Master each challenge and advance through the game.
• Original SFX and sound cues.

• Programming: Sukarth, Hekinav & Ropvaopva
• Level Design: Sukarth
• Artists: Ropva & Hekinavinav
• Sound Effects: Ropva & Hekinavinav
