How does your game fit the theme?

What an incredibly fun climbing game! I loved the experience of crawling on the ceiling and walls! I think it has the potential to develop into an amazing climbing game like Celeste!

This game is absolutely gorgeous.
It plays smooth, and is quite enjoyable.
Incredible you made this during a game jam, keep up the amazing work.

Good art-style. Polished mechanics, music was fitting so were the sound effects.

One note, when you become tiny, my brain suffer damage when looking at he walking animation (perhaps this is why you have the warning to begin with?) -that being said, that animation would be the first thing to get rid of if you were to keep working on it :P

Overall it was a good game :) I liked how being large allowed me to tank everything :p

The game boy look is very pretty! Love the zoom out at the end, I didn't realize before how high I'd climbed

What a great game! The art style and sound design were really cool. I really liked where the player could choose if they wanted to play through a section as big or small. I think there is definitely room to expand on these ideas if you wished but as it is it's still wonderful. I also loved the ending. Great job!

A stunningly polished, well-designed and beautiful little game. Loved the clever use of shapes in the level design based on the movement system, and a part of me wishes it was a little longer just to see what else you could come up with!

I really loved this game. Music, SFX, and art all fit together really well. Overall it was a bit easy but I really enjoyed that final puzzle and I wanted more. The last line of text made me feel like when I watch a movie and they say the title of the movie.

Funky game about climbing a mountain with a lizard. Love it! I think everything fits together creating charming vibe like the sound effects or the 'art'. The theme was also used really well! I'm a huge fan of this one :)

Well done Clark! I was excited to see what you made as I also played your submission for the Gdevelop Game Jam earlier this year! All around a very pleasant experience. I was really inspired by what you were able to create in such a short amount of time. I am sure you are aware of the technical issues but just in case you are not, I noticed some screen shake and the pixels look a bit off when you are "scaled down". I feel the game was just getting good at the end. It really left me wanting more. I am curious what time other people got and I may go back for a speed run later. Keep it up and I'll keep checking out your games whenever I come across them!

Really great game. I think the visuals are nice and I thought that a platformer where you can climb on walls was a pretty cool idea. The only thing I noticed was that there was kind of mixels when you scaled up, but it wasn't very important. Great job!

It would be awesome if you could rate my game too! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2024/rate/2903767

Very fun :) Feels like the perfect game jam game. I thought the "scaling" bit was just about climbing until I went through that first plus-size field x) Nice work!

Submitted(+1)

I like the sticking mechanic a lot, very satisfying! Also very great low pixel art animation. The cutscene at the end is very touching. Great work!

Submitted(+1)

Very fun, chill, even a little touching. Played very well on mobile, and I liked the multiple interpretations of scale!

Submitted(+1)

Neat little game! I love the movement style and I wish you'd continue to polish it. I wish walking on walls and ceilings was just as fast as walking on the ground.

The level design is really well thought out and compliments the movement style nicely

Feel free to check out our game too!
