How does your game fit the theme?
In my game, you must change the size of the player to solve the puzzles. For example, become small to crawl through a place or become big to hit a button on the ceiling

Nice level design. When moving the box, it sometimes falls out of the screen. And player gets stuck under the box. Had fun though.

Oh this is good, thats pretty creative, im agreeing with the previous comments. I think two things that would make it better is the collisions improved and the background tiles should be less plain. Otherwise its pretty good.

Nice game, I liked that the resizing can apply both to you and the boxes.  Some minor collision bugs when boxes get too close to each other, but nothing game breaking since there's a restart button.  Good job!

Great idea that fits into the theme well. The puzzles were enjoyable to solve but had to restart a couple of times due to boxes getting stuck underground.

Solid take on a relatively common idea. I like how the size panels affected the boxes too, that was clever. Everything was put together in ways that used the mechanics interestingly and they were taught well.

Enter/Middle Click are both very awkward and weird controls for grabbing boxes, though. Z or E would've made a lot more sense. There was also a lot of issues where the boxes could clip you into the terrain which could be ironed out.

Despite those two issues, the game was good! Great job.

I think this is my favorite so far!  Love the simple tutorial stages and the puzzles were fun.

I liked the game, having boxes on top of each other is a bit buggy, but luckily there is a restart button. I like the music and the feeling of the game, the player moves fast, which is a good thing for a puzzle game. The puzzles are interesting, and I liked the mechanic of how to change sizes, i.e. walking into areas. Well done!
