Oh wow, the artstyle, the creativity, the way you interpreted the theme, and most importantly: The sound! I love it all. The resize mechanic feels a bit clunky or unwieldy at times, but the idea is amazin. Big respect for creating such a vibe with such a clever puzzler in such a short time!

One thing that stood out to me the most is the art direction! Neat and simple with pretty good mechanic. Love the color palette, very eye catching. The puzzle aspect is also so creative on following to the theme too. Solid polished job on the game! :)

Submitted

Really cool mechanic and very well implemented! Love the colours and personality this has

Rly fun and such a good art style, i love the flying fish! Overall it's full of personality and you chose a great game mechanic to work with :)

Your game is soo good! i like the way it fit the theme whith the sizing of windows and the puzzle aspect ! and the art with the restricted palette looks so good ! well done ! :D

Very cute and cool puzzle game of dragging the windows and perfectly align to the theme. Small issues with collisions. Scaling is also a bit slow to me. Sometimes the window shrinks to small that I can hardly find the arrow to bring it back. (Although there's a way to reset, sometimes don't want to refresh all the progress). Also this can be difficult for me sometime, I have to think a while. Really love the gameplay and everything. Thank you for making this great masterpiece.

The idea is so well find and so well executed ( there is some bug on some collision but really ok ) ! Really well done :D !

Submitted

Woah great job! I've yet to see a game with smarter mechanics in this jam!

Submitted

The art was so cute and the take on the theme was really great! It was so fun that the character changed size along with the pictures :)

This is the art style that i always wanted to create. Next time I'll have a good try! Thank you for the inspiration and incredible game exprience!

but i guess the mechanics a little too complex so it runs not that well. That's really a pity!

Submitted

Absolutely adorable art style, everything from character design, the subtle movement and the gorgeous palettes is just so so perfect. Music is a great fit too

I found collisions and resizing could be a little awkward, but that's easy to forgive because the concept is just so good and the puzzle designs are so engaging! Fantastic game that's a brilliant interpretation of the theme, thoroughly enjoyed this :)

Very very cool game, art is gorgeous and combined with the music creates a great atmosphere. The base mechanic is really interesting, and implemented well.

Only criticism is that the screen resizing is a little jank.

This could comfortably be turned into something saleable.

Would be very grateful if you tried our game!

Very cool game, I would love to be able to change the position of the windows but I get the jam is about scale so that makes sense.  I had fun, thanks for making this!

Submitted

this is such a smart concept i love it, the art style is so cool too, one of my favorites in the jam so far!

What a surprised. Very enjoyable overall and fits with the theme. Really like that you could play with the size of the character. The last puzzle was tricky enough to make me think a few times and I really enjoyed finding the solution! Nice art, and loved the calm music.

  • I would have sped up the resizing a bit (even follow directly the mouse speed, with maybe a dimming at the end to still have something smooth)
  • In the first level, the jump is required, but you only introduce the A, D which felt like I was doing something wrong, so I kept moving back and forth only using A and D.
  • Would have added a small visual aid when the collision is detected. I spent a bit of time not understanding the windows I was in was colliding with a lower block that was preventing the current window to be stuck with the one I wanted.

Great submission!

Feels janky from time to time, but overall very enjoyful game and such beautiful style! <3

Submitted

Super cool game! The art style is also very well done! Just needs a little polish on window resizing and with some collisions between windows and it will be perfect.
