I love the Portal vibes! Great job!

Very fun game. Reminds me of portal. When you figure out how to scale objects properly it's easy. Perhaps you should make it a part of the tutorial. But everything else was great.

It's a super cool concept but you should have locked the cursor because to turn it's too frustrating but for the rest it's just great!!

This game has a really interesting core mechanic of scaling boxes big and small together. I agree with the others in that I would like to have seen some graphics polish (add a ceiling for the levels, spend some time on texturing work) and audio as well (there is no BGM, almost zero sound effects). Additionally, I would have liked to be able to scale the boxes with the scroll wheel, as dragging the mouse left-right is a bit finicky.

That being said, the concept of the game is very creative, and the levels are very fun to play, with different challenges in each one. Story is a bit lackluster, but for a game jam it's acceptable. This game has a lot of potential, and I'd love to see a fuull version, polished and expanded, in the future!

We had similar idea for the core mechanic! Very cool to see a 3d take on it!

very cool puzzle game

Super interesting concept and puzzles were fun to play! But it could use some polish with graphics and sfx and the scale control wasn't really intuitive. Overall though, good game and enjoyable experience!

Great idea. While the scale control seemed not very logical to me i think the game is great. For me i think scaling with the scroll wheel of the mouse will be more logical. Thank you for creating such good game.

Bugs and some graphical polish could be nice, also most puzzles had way too much movement, and with movement being slow it was a pain at times. Also the mouse control up and down to scale was odd, maybe keys instead?

Fun but hard to work it for me. Overall I gave it 3. :)

Very interesting concept, loved the portal inspiration! Took some time to understand how to do the mechanic so could do with some more tutorial and a bit of polish but very impressive within the time limit!

Super cool concept! Also did a really nice job of slowly ramping up the difficulty, it was an enjoyable progression with fun puzzles

A unique mechanic and playable once I understood the mouse scaling controls.

Very cool game concept. It needs to be polished though.

this is good idea, but the game need more polish and more puzzles.

Interesting mechanic but not really original. Enjoyed while I played a few levels. Good work 👍

This game has a very interisting mechanic and i love it but i would say that it's not visually appealing. The game might need some more polish and better sound design, i like the lore you tried to imply by escaping the facility, it reminds me of portal, but it feels way less dramatic than it should be, because of the lack of fire sounds, alarms, music, etc.

Anyway you did a great job mate, keep it up !
