There is some depth to this game! The quick decisions I have to make to scale the enemy down and then squash them is a neat idea. The fact that you added 3 levels of scale instead of 2 could allow for some interesting puzzles too. Great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it! :)

Awesome concept!  I was really impressed with the puzzles and the level design. My only critique is that the controls were a bit stiff. I think hitting a button to initiate wall jump might have been better. I am also not sure if the music fits the best. All in all strong entry and hope you will continue working on it!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Yeah the controls aren't the best lol, and I kinda agree with you about the music, but I'm glad you enjoyed it overall :)

Really enjoyed this game! The art style and animations gave me the vibe of a game I would've been obsessed with when I was younger, like on Miniclip or Friv. Really good job on this game!

Developer

Thank you so much! What a compliment lol! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! :)

The mechanic is the best, I enjoy playing it. 

I would suggest that when you throw an object, the selection changes to the gun with increased mode automatically. This, along with slow motion, would help in throwing objects, expanding them, and crushing enemies. 

I tried by doing it manually myself, but it is not really smooth.

The theme is fully present here. Great game.

Developer

Thanks for playing!!! Yeah I was constantly switching between adding that and not adding that lol, so I just decided to make it so you can right click to immediately go back to your scale gun. I didn't let the player know they could do this in-game (my bad) but it's there in the controls list on the game's page. Thanks again for playing! :)

I've been pushed by the car and softlocked in the wall 🤭 But it's a really good game, nicely polished. Using a portal gun as sizable gun is a clever reference :)

Developer

That's hilarious lol!!! I'm really glad you liked it!!! :)

Awesome game. Super cool that you got something like this done in that time, it easily would've taken me all year to figure this out. I loved the mirror and the achievements, really nice touches!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing! :)

I's a really nice game for a game jam entry. It is fun to play. I don't really like the graphics, but it's a game jam, it's understandable.

Developer

Thanks! Yeah I kinda just rushed all the art lol

Very interesting game. Was something like Portal but with resizing instead of portals.

Developer

Thanks a lot! That was definitely part of the inspiration lol

This is an awesome game! Too bad there's only one level. The mirror is an incredible mechanic!
