Incredible game! The difficulty curve felt right, the gradual addition of new mechanics was well implemented, the overall aesthetic was incredibly cohesive and everything seems to me at least to have been incredibly well done! I honestly can't find any faults with it, great job!
So creative in portals!
I love the cute skeleton!
The funny thing is that there is another game called Tether Geist.
Hope this game can became a full game!
Good luck on your game dev journey!
Wow! What an amazing game! I love the sprites and the way you implemented the theme into your game!
A lot of entries used a similar mechanic of the player character being able to switch between different sizes, but this one stands out as one of the most creative and polished. Great work on the puzzles and presentation!
Very cool game! Amazing art and very fun puzzles! Nice job!
A very cool plateformer, the puzzles are great and the character controller is top notch. I really enjoyed it :D
Unique concept with fantastic artwork! But I kept running into bugs that left me having to restart levels or that just flat out let me skip a level unintentionally.
Thanks for playing! There were a few bugs with the portals that we couldn't get fixed in time during the jam unfortunately. But we did include a reset and skip button to help alleviate in the case the player got stuck. Thanks for the feedback!
I loved every aspect of this game. It's very polished and it's very fun to play.
An Awesome and very clever game! I loved the pixel art and clever puzzles. Overall, a very well made game.
Nice mechanics and it's pleasant to solve them.
Clever game, really well polished ! Love that every size of the character has a different feel
This is so well polished! A combination of portals and maximinimal in a platformer! I love the idea of the pad to jump higher. It is a key to solve problems in designing and create brand new experience!
Maybe other games instead of those tow idk lol. I just believe this is a wonderful work.
Thanks a bunch for playing and the kind words.
Clever gimmick that is very well designed! Love it :D
People have been saying its 15/15 and that's true for me. I can't leave a detailed review right now , but I'm sureyou have many good reviews and I will try to leave one tommorrow :D
Thankyou for playing, kind words and generous rating :)
Really Really REALLY cool game, love puzzlers where you use differently sized boxes to progress
Seriously though, this game is super polished, feels absolutely sick, the puzzles are creative and fun, and all around I'd love to see this progress further into a full game. Full marks across the board! Only things I have to note is that the portal scaling feels a bit buggy at times, and one time i went through the portal so much i disappeared forever, but it was funny and didn't really affect the experience lol
Thankyou for playing, rating and your comments. Great to know the bugs in the game didn't affect your experience too much, will try to get to a fix for those post jam.
Really cool game! The mechanics are unique and it has really nice puzzles. The art and music is really nicely made, good job!
When I was in the brainstorming stage of the jam I was worried a platformer where the player scales would be really common. The portal mechanic puts a fresh spin on that, which made for some good levels here. I initally somehow missed you can drag portals and only figured it out later when I was stumped on a puzzle (if you get that feedback from other people it's a problem, if not, it's just me being a dumbass).
Heavy on the presentation, looks great! IDK if i'm just really really unlucky but I kept getting bugs like my player disappearing into portals, the player/boxes being too big to actually push into the portal, and i'm pretty sure there was one time the box came out the wrong side of the portal.
Granted with the addition of a reset button this was largely negated, but these kinds of glitches seem to happen to me a lot. Other than that, the actual game feel is very polished. Only other thing I would say is the music feels a bit loud. However, you guys did a great job!
this is so charming, i luv the artstyle and the character design for the lich
Wow this is an extremely good and fun game! Nicely done!
