I feel it's almost guaranteed that this makes the top 20. 
Very clever core mechanic, implemented and expanded brilliantly (26 levels that build off of each other in such a short time?!) in a tiny but beautiful package. The fact you somehow got great music and an ending cutscene is the cherry on top.

Thank you!
This is my first actual puzzle game ever. I wanted to try something new for this jam. I composed the soundtrack in a very short period of time, so I didn't think it would be any good. The little cutscene was planned from the beginning and I animated a tiny part of it every day throughout the jam.
Thanks again for the nice comment!

My favourite so far. I stopped at level 25. How you get the player used to a new game mechanic is top tier game design. For example, after the compressible enemies were introduced, one of them being in the blue taught me that they can be pushed. There was many of these little aha moments throughout the whole game.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad my time spent on designing the levels paid off. Level 26 is the last level, so you got pretty close to the end. I'm glad you enjoyed your time with the game!

This was really clever puzzle game. I like how the theme was used to help me create my own solutions to the problem by using scaling. I like you can compress you enemies into origami and like the artwork, reminds a lot of Baba Is You and that is compliment. Great job!

A very competent and impressive game for a 4 day game jam. The aesthetics and music are polished, and the many levels are well made. The main mechanics fit perfectly with the game jam's theme of scaling.

This was a blast to play, the puzzle design and visuals were really well done!

 I love puzzles. I love the idea of having to both dodge and redirect bullets to get to the goal, and the art is simple and effective.

I waited 8:00 PM just to rate your game, it's the only one i tried so far and it's really good, the end scared the shit out of me. The only thing i dislike but im sure is intended, is the framerate, it kinda make some things harder for me, like dodging bullets. Anyway great job !
