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 :)
Love the small slime! Sad the game was short and wished other slimes had shift abilities. Camera motion when zoomed in was a bit too strong
Thank you!! I will take your feedback for future updates for sure ;)
The art and music and bounciness of the slime was wonderful. You can also push the boxes at the same speed with both the small and large sized slime but it still is a good way to show the size change up. Super cute and had lots of fun plus the shift mechanic was very cool
Thanks for your comment <3
I understand the box pushing speed is actually a bug that happens on the web version of the game. I will try to fix it on a future update!
I’m happy to hear you liked the concept and mechanics :)
The art is nice, and player movement is very smooth.
pushing box is slow which is already mentioned by others. The level feels a little bland could put more work into it.
3/5 for game play, 5/5 for art
Thanks for your comment! I’m glad you liked the art direction and player movement, I focused a lot on those :)
I intended to add some more things to the levels but I didn’t have the time sadly.
I will continue working on updating the game though!
This was such a nice game! Everything felt super smooth, I loved the movement of the character. The jumps felt super satisfying. The only thing is that when pushing boxes it was a little too slow. Overall, loved playing this, nice job!
Thank you so much for your comment! :) I noticed a lot of comments regarding the issue with the boxes. I will work on fixing in on a future update <3
It's cool having different abilities tied to different sizes! The visual style was also friendly and pleasant to look at.
Thanks for your comments! I’m glad you liked it :)
Loved the art style and had a really good mechanic for the theme.
Thank you so much!
