It took a bit of time for me to work out the mechanics but once I did I had a great time with this! Really lovely level design, art & sound

Great game, I really like the sounds and art! My only complaint is it took some time to realize how it worked. Great game!

Submitted

Gorgerous style, peak sound design loved everything about it. the mechanic is great and the puzzles you managed to pull off with it are surprisingly good. Really good jam entry!

Incredible game with an amazing atmosphere. The music slaps so hard, it adds so much to the experience. I want to hear it every day for the rest of my life.

Very pretty game, with lovely music. Great puzzle mechanic. I did get a little lost on what to do at first.

Would be very grateful if you tried our game!

Very cool puzzle mechanic! Nice job!

Great core mechanic, good variety for the scope, you do a good job of allowing the game to speak for itself and subtly guide player understanding of the mechanics through clever level design. The art and aesthetic is a nice cherry on top!

Heey, one of the level designers is here. Thanks a lot for a comment! 

We were thinking quite hard on the mechanics introduction. Glad it worked out! :)

Simplistic style and funny death scream... What's there not to love??

Developer(+1)

heheheh, my favourite sound too, just my voice and some FX.

Submitted

Really nice concept and really cute art, only bad part is that there are some problems with the level collision

Submitted

Saw this game on stream! :D With SmallsTheKobold

A lot of mechanics and some cool levels.

But, as part of the trend here, it took me a while to understand the glass mechanic.

A really good game with a lot of mechanics and creatives levels !
You can make a game with these ideas !

I had to reread the description to understand the glass mechanic, but then it was quite fun! Although I got stuck on Level 4 and feel quite stupid now :D Is the character based on "Mestre Ensinador" by any chance?

Great job anyways! :)

Developer(+1)

Yes it is!

Submitted

Haha, nice, love it! Any tips for Lvl 4? ;)

I don't know where you got stuck, but you have to go to the right side, then scale the object through the window that's on the left side

Submitted

It took me a while to understand how the glass mechanic worked, but once I got it, I was hooked! This is adorable, fun, and very creative -- plus I have to appreciate a fellow whimsy (:

Amazing music and super cool and unique mechanic!

With a proper tutorial at the start, this could easily be a complete game.

Developer

hehe thanks! i uploaded the full tracks too soundcloud on my profile. Thanks for cheking out the game!

LOVE the art style (and sound effects and theming).  Very unique!   The glass puzzle mechanic was also fascinating, although it took me a while to understand how to use it because some of the positioning was difficult or needing to learn what maybe would have been an "advanced" technique of moving back and forth over the same small space for big shrinking.  Very cool nonetheless, could see it becoming a full game!

Developer

Good to hear as an artist!
