Great game! Loved the BGM, the character animations were very beautifully displayed. Keep making games and do consider rating our game!

Neat game! Definitely got confused on the jump mechanic but didn't stop me from enjoying the game. Honestly, seems any feedback I provide is a repeat of what people have already said, from the bug to the neat tutorial. But I do wanna say it's certainly a quirky idea!

Submitted

nice job! i liked the idea !!

Very cool game, idea is neat, visuals and style is off the charts. Though the scoring system is a complete mystery, I happily avoided rings as it looks just like obstacle at my first runs. In general there is some lack of cues on when to jump, also pressing a button to "interact" not knowing if it jumps or ducks is somewhat disorientating. I think this idea can be polished into a very interesting game, especially if elderly form gets some gameplay importance as well (now it's just worse than mid-adult in every way). Tutorial screen with all animations is great, I liked that a lot. Congrats on submitting a very cool entry!

P.S. There's a bug that won't allow you to play after restart (mouse not registering), had to reload the page. I suspect you don't have EventSystem saved in Scene in Unity, so it appears on game start but not on SceneLoad (not sure but may help)
P.P.S. Fullscreen buttons overlap. You can hide itch's button (it doesn't work anyway) and increase size a bit to reveal Unity's button. You can do it now, no need to wait until voting closes.

I like the theme and the art! But I couldn't figure out how to do stuff 😅 And then my guy got stuck just sitting the air

Dude is protesting by posing as if he's sitting in a car, he got old and tired of running, it's a feature 

No but all jokes aside, thank you :) I missed setting up some references with the sceneload

The backstory for this one is nuts. I love the clean style and the gameplay is great once you get the hang of it. Feels great to jump up as an adult and fly through the ring as a fetus. It’s kind of a crazy flex that the model smoothly interpolated between everything and the animations react as it scales. Love the take on the theme I just wish the game was longer.

Took me a few tries to figure out how to play but the game is pretty cool. Wild take on the theme as well haha, nice work :)

Submitted

Pretty weird but cool game!

Submitted

there's something wrong with screen size if you wanna see press ctrl + mouse scroll down or up

Submitted

I love man made horrors beyond my comprehension! I love the defilement of space and time for mere sport and entertainment! I love the rapid depreciation of the value of human life! I can't wait for this grim and unforgiving future!

This is a really creative (and mildly disturbing) concept. It's also impressive that you got this working in 3D, but personally I would have preferred to see more polished controls (since the time scaling is a bit too sensitive right now, and it's not clear when you can jump) or a longer track.

Submitted

Interesting concept! Haven't seen many high paced size shifters!

Submitted

Switching between ages is a very original interpretation of the theme! I'm a little bit confused on what to do after going through the circles while falling, cause the game just restarts, but I think the overall concept has potential to be used in other type of games!

I've seen scaling driven by scrolling but this is even better! I'm so inspired by the game! ( maybe it supports controller i guess? ) And the orignial idea is so creative and has a great potential in storytelling! Thank you for making this game!

Submitted

They finally did it, they returned to fetus

good
