Wow! Phenomenal interpretation of the theme! Loved it!

Submitted

fantastic game! simple, but really fun! i'd love to play a longer game with this mechanic. kind of reminds me of loco roco...

Submitted

Such a clever game mechanic that uses the idea of scaling so elegantly and smoothly! Brilliant game!

Submitted

Awesome game! Scaling mechanic worked so well for the puzzles

Submitted

I love the creativity! swap out the jump with scaling, brilliant! 

The only thing I'm missing here is music! Well Done.

Submitted

Cool mechanics and needs precise control to win. Although finding no secrets, I feel tired after playing for almost 1000 seconds.

Submitted

Fab take on the theme, like some of your little touches like the "spoke too soon" text. Really fun, great stuff!

Submitted

I think this is a great rendition of the theme! I managed to beat it and even find one of the secrets.

Submitted

Really cool game! Very fun idea for the movement ^^

Submitted

Great game. Really creative movement mechanic.

Submitted

Really fun once I got the hang of the controls. Made it all the way to the end in 532 seconds.

Submitted

The mechanics here feel super polished! This was a joy to play, really great execution of this concept :D

Submitted

I love the main character. I will swap you 1 dipper for 1 climbing robot thing. 

Developer

They are indeed both very cute

Submitted

The mechanics are great, and the game is cute overall. I love it!

You should have more ratings. 

Congrats!

Submitted

the scaling mechanics were actually really satisfyting to use, good job!

Submitted

Holy Cow the jumping/climbing mechanics are cool!! This is a neat idea with a lot of potential.  Not to mention the growing and jumping reminds me of the Uproot Enemy from Super Mario Odyssey.  Good job!!

I will be reacting to the recording live on this stream!!

I love this idea! I don't know who's building these abstract lighthouses, but leave it to this little guy to get them fixed!

I had the lighthouse idea only hours before the deadline, so the imagination has to fill in some gaps :D

Submitted

We love improvising under pressure! Love the final result though. I'd play a full version of this!

The little guy is so cute. The movement is  very fun, also that is quite the lighthouse

Developer

That's why a robot has to fix it, no human dares to enter this brutalist nightmare

This might be favorite version of the "shrink and grow" 2D platforming games I've seen from this Jam so far. Using the vertical scaling as the jump mechanic was a great idea. Controls feel really good and the difficulty scales really well. Well done!

Submitted

Very interesting idea, I love how the lil guy follows your mouse at the title screen! it was challenging to coordinate the buttons but that made it very fun!
