Tongue Tied Tale is a platformer game featuring a scaly chameleon who loves to eat! Scale yourself up and down with fruits and potions. Resize platforms to access more delicious fruit. Fight enemies of different sizes! Results may vary depending on your own size. A heavy chameleon can be handy in a scrap, but can also weigh you down, so make sure to keep your eye on the scale!

Man, I really wish right-click didn't cause so much browser trouble :-/

Developer

Thanks for playing! What specific issues are you having?

Submitted

Neat game! I liked the spiderman-esque mechanics, good storytelling too

Submitted

The art looks so pretty! Fun puzzles with some great design!
I might just not be smart enough, but it felt like I got stuck without an option from time to time haha. But even then, that felt like my own problem for being too greedy and eating all the fruit!

Submitted

Really nice art and sounds! also really enjoyed mowing with the tongue! GJ! :)

Submitted

Super cute and charming! really liked the scaling mechanic with the platforms

Submitted

We can see all the effort you put in it. Awesome take on the theme. Also amazing page for the game! We love the art style as well. Keep up the good work!

Developer(+1)

yes we even have a self made rap at the end once you complete all the levels haha

Submitted

wow definitely will try to finish it later now when we know :D 

Developer

btw i will warn u that the intro is very long and you'll have to wait a bit for the rap LOL

Submitted

Such cute chameleon!!!

Developer

thank you so much!!

Submitted(+1)

really nice art, could use some more platforming features like coyote time and jump buffer but nice jam game!

Developer

thanks for the advice!

Submitted

Like other people are saying I couldn't figure out the platform drag bit. The art was amazing though

Developer

Thanks for playing! Try left clicking on the resizable brick platform, then clicking and dragging the purple handles that appear. Hope that helps :D

Submitted(+1)

I love how your intro gives such an accurate context to the game, plus the art style is amazing and consistent. For the gameplay, I really like the tongue swinging/grabbing mechanic. The "editing" platforms seems a bit out of place to me, I feel like there's probably a better way to implement that mechanic thematically.

Wow, impressively done art

If anyone is having trouble resizing platforms, left click on it first then drag the purple corners! 

You can also check out this tutorial playthrough, or the tips in the game description if you are struggling!

I loved the swinging, but I wasn't able to get past the leftclick-drag bit :<

Developer

Thanks for playing! Try left clicking on the resizable brick platform, then clicking and dragging the purple handles that appear. Hope that helps :D

This tutorial playthrough might also be useful:

Thanks! I'll give it another go

those cutscenes were adorable! I love the art on show here

Developer

Glad you liked it! I can't thank our amazing artists Olivia and Mikael enough!

That was so cool and cute! I love Charles!!! The art is beautiful! My only real critique would be to make the platforms draggable as well as scalable. Great job overall!

Developer(+1)

psst his name is Charles!

Submitted

:) yep, I knew that, totally knew that

Developer

nahnah don't worry! We never mentioned that in game LOL

Submitted

I like the mechanics, and the art are really nice. I tried to break a big vertical branch by eating tooo much and i was soooo heavy i could barely move hahaha

Developer(+1)

LMAOO

Submitted

Good arts! Not sure what I did wrongly though, since I can't drag the platform near the beginning of the game :(

Developer

Thanks for playing! Try left clicking on the brick platform, then tragging the purple handles that appear. Hope that helps :D

Submitted(+1)

It took me also some time to find our i had to drag it by the corners actually, i hope you play it again now you know it because the rest of the game is nice

Submitted(+1)

Cool! The scaling gizmo in the wild didn't really make sense but the art was really cool. That intro sequence must have taken FOREVER!

Developer(+1)

Yessss we have multiple cutscenes throughout our game! It's very story rich. I'm really glad you enjoyed playing!

Submitted(+2)

Nice art style and I really like the tongue mechanic! Great job!

Submitted

I like the art style and the cute animations at the beginning of the game. Other than that, the game mechanics are neatly introduced and easy to understand. Great job!

Developer

Thank you!
