Cool game! The pixel art looks good and I really like the aesthetic, it conveys the atmosphere really well, it reminds me a lot of classic rpgmaker horror games! Good job!

Loved the atmosphere here! And the level design is excellent!
Though got stuck on the third level not knowing how to get past the closed door before the camera(

Developer(+1)

Thank you for you comment!  There is something near the door that you can use to help - some objects can be moved if they are first made the right size :D

I like the way you approached concept of “scale”. Good thing there was a “how to play” note, because it could be pretty hard to understand all the possibilities the game offers without it. Very adorable ghost btw. But for gods sake! SPOILER that creepy guy in lvl 3 who ran 140km/h straight at me gave me a heart attack :'D

Developer

Hello! Thank you for your comment! We are very glad that you like it and sorry for giving you heart attack (not really, it was 100% on purpose :D). "how to play" not was unfortunately a necessity as we did not manage to provide better explanation in game cause we ran out of time ;/

Love the art and music.
Fun game mechanic. :)

Developer

Thank you very much!

The art and music for this game are brilliant, and I loved the personality of the ghost character. Really great concept for a core mechanic too

Overall nice game 

Good:

-Nice mechanic of resizing 

-good looking art style

bad:
-movement could be a bit faster

-sometimes you can not put or throw box (some collision problem?)

Once picked box from other room my character was standing in

Hi, thanks for you comment! Hope you enjoyed the game.
Regarding bad things - we had a tough time find out the good spot of player speed vs enemy speed and  looking at the comments seems like we were a  bit too much on the "slow" side. The other two things are unfortunately the bugs we didn't manage to fix before the deadline :D

Submitted(+1)

the music of the game is perfect, and the mechanic of changing the size of different objects is such an interesting twist on the standard "player changing size" theme.

great work!

Developer

Thank you for the review! Glad you liked our game :)

Aesthetically this game is on point! Movement wise I felt it too slow for my liking. The puzzle system was intuitive as well!

A job well done :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you! We are glad you liked the art style and good to here that puzzles are managable to solve. We were a bit afraid that we did not hint it very well as we redesigned some parts nearly at the end.  If we ever update it we will sure make movement feel better than now :D

An awesome game with a creative concept, I can't wait to see how it ends!

Developer

Thank you!

The game works really well! It's a great idea with cool graphics that bring back memories of the Atari and Commodore days. Most importantly, the action is so engaging that you play with pure enjoyment, and a smile naturally appears on your face.

Thank you!

What happened in the end. I'm so confused :D sad ghost

Cool and mysterious game.

Developer(+1)

Unfortunately even I don't know what happens at the end ;/ Thanks for your review!

Developer(+1)

Yep, it was partly due to the time constraints, and in part somewhat of an intended artistic choice to be very vague with the storytelling. Think of it as a... Dark Souls-y experience in that regard, it's very much up to you to interpret what happens in the game :D

Pretty fun concept! And the ghost is pretty cute

Developer

Thank you! We are really proud of the ghost design :D
