A little man with a big gun. I am satisfied. Good game.

Developer

Indeed; a little man with a big gun.

There are lot of great ideas here :) I really liked the shoot yourself mechanic. Grood puzzle ideas on the levels too

Developer

I am glad you liked it!

Great idea, implemented very well. Liked how you can shoot yourself as well as the enemies!

It is hard to control your jump and most of the time it requires a perfect timing and distance, that can be made easier for the player to make it less annoying.

Love that you can shoot at yourself, it's a great idea!

Developer(+1)

I am glad you liked the game!

Fun and nice looking game! Had some problems with getting stuck like other people said. I also noticed that the music started over again from the beginning when you went to the menu and then to the game or after dying, I would like if it continued. I also was surprised that when I ran out of hearts I still had one left, it is usually not like that but I really needed the extra heart :D

Developer

Good thing that extra heart helped you, I am glsd you ennoyed my game!

Good job with the size changing. I find it really cool you can grow and shrink not only yourself but almost everything else too!

Developer

Thank you for playing, I am glad you liked the game!

Great concept, the collision detection seems to have a few issues as I kept getting stuck on stuff (including occasionally needing to jump over seemingly flat floor. I like that the level design leave a lot of room for player expression but I was able to clear most of it by just going as small as possible. That said, it's still a great entry, well done!

Good Idea and fun game. Creative art work.

Submitted

I knew someone would make a game like this and I was looking forward to playing some of them. I love how you can shoot yourself to change your own size. The platformer physics are a little weird sometimes but the idea is very well executed! Well done :)

Developer

Glad you found the game you wanted!

Muy buen juego, me hubieras gustado que tuviera mas niveles

Fun concept, fun game. The difficulty curve is a bit weird tho.

Submitted

I feel like most games in this jam would either let you scale the player or scale some environmental elements, but I thought it was cool that you could fire the guns at the character to change its size. I kind of thought the tutorial was kidding about that at first! 

But I didn't feel like there was a strong reason to go big mode. As an obstacle, the spikes pose a much greater threat than the blocks, and you need to be small to jump over them. Plus, while you can break the blocks if you are big, you can also knock them over or just jump over them if you are small.

Still, I think there is a lot of potential in expanding this idea further!

Developer

Yeah I didn’t have much time to make use of the big boi, but I am glad you liked it!

I kept getting stuck on nothing while moving, and at multipul points did the camera prevent me from seeing where I needed to go after a jump, but other than that, it was a really cool game!

Developer

Unity has a shitty bug with tilemap colliders that cause this, But I am glad you still found some fun in the game!

Great idea and well executed. The controls were a little janky at times and I think boxes should respawn when starting back at a checkpoint. This got me stuck on Level 1. Otherwise it was very fun to play. Great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing my game, I appretiate it!

That's a fun little platformer! The shooting myself mechanic made me laugh, there's a lot of similar concepts about resizing blocks but I've not played any yet that do both player and environment. I like the style too, nice one!

Developer(+1)

Big Boi :), I am glad you liked the style :D

THANK YOU for making an ingame tuorial! Most people fill their game page with “how to play” text and its so tiresome to read it for every game.

This is such a cool fun little game, the gun is cherry on top of the cake, I’ve seen some platformers where you change size, but I love this take using the gun to do it. I love this game!

Developer(+1)

I appreciate you liking the tutorial :), I am glad you liked it!

i like the fact that the level remains how it has been after I die lol.

I think this can really make a difference!

Enjoyable game. Thank you!

Developer

No, Thank you for playing my game, I am glad that you enjoyed it!

Lots of fun, could use some adjustments to the gun, maybe use left and right click to shoot big and small bullets, and switch between the gun, or the scroll wheel. Tons of fun, cute art, good work!

Developer

You got a good point, I should’ve made the scroll wheel change the guns, I am glad you liked it!

Great Tutorial!
