How does your game fit the theme?
This game uses the concept of size as its main mechanic. By using different tools, the player is able to change the scale of the character in order to complete the puzzles. The definition of scale based on, for example, map scales is also implemented in our game through the main tool named the "scale".

Nice concept, and the mascot is adorable! Solid submission!
Great style and concept. Really had to think for the last ones!
I think it would be nice to see the running size of the slime as he moves along the conveyor so I can see how my scalings are affecting him, especially for the harder levels.
Simple idea presented beautifully. Nice job!
That’s a pretty cool game, I love simple math, the idea is a bit basic but the music and implementation are really cool
Nice entry
I do have one suggestion though.. put a limit on items.. players can easily break the game without a limit and it adds another layer of difficulty (for example a limit for each type of item dependent on the level).
Really love this one. The scaling mechanic has so much potential! Got a softlock on level 4 where he wandered off screen somehow. I hope you expand on this in the future!
Pretty and clever puzzle game, I could see that expanded with even more brain-busting puzzles!
I also encountered several problems (that others already commented). The character sometimes refuses to come or enter a machine, and for level 5 I don't know what I am doing wrong but I can't seem to pass it. Maybe at least showing the player their wrong answer at the end to help them figure out what they did wrong would also help.
But appart from that, a really charming game. Well done!
Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the bugs.
Challenging and clever. I liked it and enjoyed messing with my head to achieve the correct size transformation.
Nice puzzle game, needed to reuse some of my lost math skill to figure some latter split !
Good Job !
Really cool game! I've rated almost 100 for the jam so far and this HAS to be in my top 5 for the concept, although I am a math guy so that helps lol. Art style is so cute kinda like my game with the hand drawn aesthetic.
Also, I know bugs have been pointed out, but I wanted to share mine with level 5 since it's telling me I got it wrong when I am pretty sure it's not. I tried two solutions in case the splitter wasn't accounting for fractions but that didn't work either
Sorry for the issues with the bugs, we sadly ran out of time while we were bug fixing since some new ones kept popping up and we didn't know how to fix some of them, Unity sometimes handled fractions in a really weird way in which even if they were apparently the same they would not be detected as equal. We are really happy that you enjoyed our game tho and thanks for the feedback!
this is a cool take on the theme! the little cube guy is cute too. i think the tutorial at the beginning doesn't really do a lot to help you understand what it wants from you, maybe some clues about the mechanical side of the game (for instance, highlighting the thing at the bottom to make it clear it's something you can pick up and move) would have been a better place to spend that time. i did still figure it out though and it was pretty fun seeing him get super big, especially when i messed up lol. great job overall!
Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate you letting us know about how we could make the mechanics of the game more understandable. We are glad you enjoyed the game tho!
I really enjoyed it! I was a bit confused at first, but I ended up getting the hang of it. Unfortunately, my game softlocked on level 4 or 5 (I'm not really sure). The character went through one of those scale machines and it didn't come out the other way :( . I still liked the game though, don't worry.
I'm sorry to hear that, we tried fix all the bugs but some were impossible to fix in the time we had left, however thanks for playing and for giving us feedback.
Really good idea, fits with the theme well, and the visuals are very cute ! Good job :)
very cool game with a great idea with tons of potential to expand when the splitters appeared it did break my brain a little though. Nice job!
Really nice and intuitive. I like it!
Thank you for playing.
Very nice, liked the use of Alex as a screen transition. Fairly intuitive design for connecting the pieces together, I might have appreciated an indication of Alex's number as it emerges from each device so I can track my progress more closely than just bigger or smaller.
Thanks for the feedback, if we ever expand the game we will take your suggestions into account.
Gosh, I'm impressed with the quality of this Jam and sure your game fits over the top notch group!
Had fun with this game and the graphics totally nailed it!
Thanks for playing and for the feedback.
Very clever and has a lot of potential! Looking forward to playing more!
Thanks for playing.
It is nice to see STEM-ish kind of game here. I liked the puzzles, but I couldn't finish the last one. I've built scheme as in picture and slime always disappears inside "3:1" block.
Sorry to hear that, we tried to fix all the bugs before launch but it was impossible, however thank you for playing and for your feedback.
Really clever game! I love Alex
Thanks for playing.
At first I thought this was an automation game, but nonetheless looks pretty neat, and if you resolve the bugs this can turn into a very enjoyable game.
Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the bugs.
