I like the art style and the music!
I do like the mechanic of changing sizes for different powers + routes, sorta gave me Thomas Was Alone vibes.
I wish the physics was a bit more fleshed out (why are those boxes so dang heavy haha).
Including an in-game tutorial is also awesome for a game jam game! quite rare haha.
Overall great job!
I like the shift to glide ability on the little slime
Cute art style!
Really like the style. Character and sound seem to fit so well and adds to fun of the game.
I really liked this. Lovely interpretation of the theme. And was really smooth to play. That jump animation + sfx combo was so satisfying.
Really nice art style it is really amazing and the tutorial really teaches you how to play. The game is a really good scope and fits the theme well. Amazing work!
Great art style, fun to play
The only downside for me, a simple take on the theme
Overall a pretty good game, champion contender for me :)
I love the different designs for the different sized characters! The small one is so adorable.
Loved the art style and the proper tutorial, I was sure on how to play and what to do.
I did manage to softlock myself, a restart button would make it much better!
Would be very grateful if you tried our game!
Fun and cute platformer!
Thanks <3
Perfect game for your scope! I don't know if it was required but combining the regular-size jump height, swapping mid-air to the tiny one and then dashing is a really cool mechanic! Curious how far this could be extended in combining movesets.
Really cool idea, it works really well! I would love to play some more levels!
One thing i noticed is you can join dashes and jumps together if you time it right. I don't know if this was intentional, but i thnk it could be a cool feature
Glad you liked it!
I will explore the dash-jump mechanic and add more levels for sure!
Nice vibes, really cozy and suits the theme really well
<3
Nice idea for the theme. Would be better with some more levels!
Neat Little Game - thank goodness for the friendly respawn points.
The game is nice to play, and the sounds are very satisfying! One thing, echoing some other reviewers, would be cool to have a little more control over your dash. Love the art, though, and good luck!
Thanks for your feedback! <3
The artstyle looks amazing
Thanks <3
the game looks really cool and has some neat ideas, just maybe needs some better dashing & cam movement. love the art direction though. keep up the good work!
Thank you for your comment!
Really cute character design! The level design is good enough to convey the idea of the game (which, for a jam of this duration is a very good accomplishment). My only criticism would be that the boxes are a little too heavy when stacked on top of each other, which makes the last level a bit slow. But otherwise, great game!
i like the music, the controls are a little difficult on keyboard... hard to keep track of what youre able to do (change size, and the abilities that come with the separate sizes) cool though! respect for getting the game polished up and released.
Thanks! I would love to hear what felt difficult so I can fix it in a future update!
the player should have to use thier other hand to change size and do air dash. its too much for one hand to do all that! my hands are big the buttons are too close, i want my left hand to be only WASD
That makes sense! I actually made it so you could use the arrow keys and shift + z + x but never add it to the tutorial. With those keys it might be easier for you to control the game :)
