How does your game fit the theme?

Interesting platform mechanics wrapped in a great aesthetic. I found the ending really funny for no real reason other than being tired, but I loved it.

Incredible game!

It's the first time I've played a game where I play and feel like a lizard, it really made me think like one.

I was already impressed by the lizard controller, but the size change mechanic and the level design that supports it also blew me away.

Wonderful experience, especially for a jam game!

Everything is phenomenal, the art, the audio design, the gameplay, the ending.... , I can't find any downsides, I could see this expanded as a full game in future, Good Job.

Absolutely oozing with style. It's just a really tight and well crafted experience, really well designed. I adore the opening title sequence!

really enjoyed the part where there was a choice to get bigger or smaller and then there were two routes you could take. it wasnt much but that little moment made be really like this game now. its feels really good aswell and i like how you went with this style theres something refreshing about it. good game i enjoyed it!

Very cool ! The level is well designed so you always know where to go and the different ways to climb and change sizes add variety to the gameplay. Would love to see a longer version of it.

The movement was really cool and the style was awesome!

Submitted(+1)

Wow I'm thoroughly impressed! Was really neat to essentially have a third dimension with climbing on the back wall. The limited color palette was super tidy and clean making it all fit together nicely. the ending caught me by surprise but was just as cool as the rest of the game (I'm not gonna spoil don't worry :D )

Stunning work!

Cute game, really liked the option to chose to pass as scaled up or scaled down version. I really enjoyed the ending as well. Great job.

I would pay to play a full version

Very impressive game!  I think the way you implemented the climbing was super cool also bonus points for implementing the the theme in multiple ways. I really liked how you introduced some puzzle elements as the climb came closer to its conclusion. I am sorry I do not have much in the name of feedback on this front (i may come back later with more as I think about it.)

Visually the game looked great, and I am really impressed how much information you were able to convey with so little fidelity. I was equally impressed with the sound design. Really well done

I love the climbing mechanics in this game! It was very reminiscent of Super Mario World, which is my most favorite Mario game of all time. Also, note to self: don't jump while you are climbing, or you're gonna regret it.

Really nice little game. Can definitely see potential in areas that are easy to traverse while bigger but worth the risk when going smaller to get rewards!

Submitted(+1)

Flawless game.

I would play a bigger and longer version than this.

Our game also had a shared core mechanic of switching between small, medium and big size.
