Very good concept! Game was hard which I liked. The simple style was nice as well! Great work!

Developer

Thanks :)

Very fun game, with intricate level design, it was a little tough getting the hand of controls as I mainly play with WASD, but it was still fun! I managed to get the the second last level.. I am proud of myself. 
I do really like the colour pallet you used throughout your levels, and the level design is smart and well put. SFX were a nice touch as well as the particle blocks appearing randomly. I would add an option where the player can select which controls they want to use, as in movement: arrows or WASD, and it makes scaling the opposite. But that is still a great game!

Very fun, I like that you kept the game looking nice even though you were using simple shapes.

Amazing idea, very very fitting, would love to see this expanded further!

Cool game! I like how changing the scale mid-jump can affect how the jump turns out! The shadow effects were cool as well! I think it would be interesting if there were levels that made use of the larger possible scales but either way nice job!

Really interesting concept! Controls were a bit too complex for a non-pro gamer I would say; I had some issues having to rescale mid movement

Okie :)

My favorite game of the jam so far

5/5/5

I really enjoyed it! It has a rather simple but fun concept which matches with the art style itself. Level 3 was a bit of a pain but still Well Done!

the aesthetics of this are really nice, and its scoped perfectly for a jam game! i felt like the controls were unfortunately pretty awkward and difficult to work around, and since platforming is your main genre i felt like you could have put more time into refining the controls. i really like having to jump and rescale myself in the air to avoid bumping on ceilings, i just wish i didnt accidentally kill myself on the nearest spikes in the process!

Developer

thanks for ur review i will try to improve it!

the art and music is really pleasant, in case you want to expand maybe you can add mouse to control roundness of corners in square (player) pointy would something like pop up a baloon, rounded won't (it's just a suggestion thought I should write it down)

Edit: I forgot it's all Keyboard game not mouse wheel but any button you think will be correct

Great game, concept was simple with some great exectution and the minimal artstyle goes perfectly with the game, this was a really fun one, nice job

It's hard do control, but interesting to solve. I'm wonder, what the best control will be to scale horizontal? Because A an D not intuitive.

Submitted(+1)

This was challenging, but I pulled through! Nice variety of levels

Submitted(+1)

just beat it! neat idea and loved controling my jump with my scale. little hard to keep all the controls straight in my head on the last level 

Submitted(+1)

Game is tricky, and the controls are a bit confusing at times, but I still beat it and had a fun time doing so. Great game! 

Submitted(+1)

Really interesting idea and great execution! The art style reminds me of Thomas was Alone.

Good stuff, Though some jumps were making me feel like i was depending on luck, those cases were rare.  Just a fun experience in general.

Developer
