Such an enjoyable game! Love the quirky character and all these well-crafted assets. A very fun and quite polished game. Great job!

Note. Some objects that clearly should scale cannot be scaled due to a bug. However, this wont stop you from finishing the demo! Scaling the objects in the scales can be difficult to a bug that we didn't have time to fix, but you can still do it with persistence!

We will update it after we are allowed to do so.

A lot of work went into this project!  I really like the creative visuals, music, voice acting, and sounds!  Being able to physically move objects when they get small enough is a great touch too, I love that it scales with how small they are. 

However I think the game needs a little more clarity.  I found it a bit difficult to play.  Here's some feedback from me in case ya'll keep working on this:  

I wish there was some feedback on what items you can scale and what items you can't.  Maybe a highlight when you mouse over them?   

I love the diegetic tutorials on the notepads, however since there are only 4 different camera angles it makes some of them hard to read. The red one in the picture gave me a lot of trouble.  

These books with the blue arrow are a great piece of set dressing, but makes it confusing for the player on whats traversable.  I was able to jump on that book with some difficulty, but at first I thought that's what the solution was.  I'd move the second book in the stack so it doesn't look like a platform, or move it one book higher so it's clear you cannot jump that high.  

I fell off the table and had to start all the way back at the beginning.  This made me sad, it would be great to have a checkpoint system!  

This game is really cool and I'd love to see more of it, awesome job!

The hardwork put in this is unquestionable. Gameplay just requires a bit more clarity. Great work

The visuals were great, and I loved the concept. But I found it very awkward to play. The camera snapping to certain rotations made it difficult to aim at anything or see where I was going, and it wasn't clear what things you could or could not scale. >.<'

I liked the art here. The idea was also kinda nice, but i just could not figure out what objects were scalable.

I really liked the artstyle, and the concept, the main character felt charismatic.

I liked the audio part a lot as well (especially, when you can't scale down anymore)

The tutorial notes kept me focus in the game, and I liked that.

I felt like the speed up was introduced a bit early considering the theme of the jam.

Overall I think this game and concept has a lot of potential !

I basically agree in every point with ComfyMittenCole, graphic is great also quite a lot of invisible walls and janky camera doesn't help, i would say if you put some visual clues, like yellow paint witch showed you path, it would help....

I like the style and the music and the overall vibe of the game. I hate the camera controls, and mixing that style camera control with the walking controls locked to angles made most of the jumps incredibly frustrating. I know its supposed to be a "figure it out along the way" kind of game but I found it difficult to understand where I was supposed to go as a player. I have no idea where "the machine" is so it felt like I was just stumbling through puzzles that I could bypass by squeezing through spaces and abusing the hitboxes/jump mechanic. I also am not sure what was going on with the hit detection for the shrink/enlarge ray but pretty much every time I tried to shoot I had to mess with the camera angle or wiggle the mouse erratically to find where it would actually fire.
