It's a great puzzle game with a lot of potential! The visual quality and the level of Polishness are also insane. Please extend this into a full game guys. Great job!
Great game. I love the idea, that the mechanic of scaling i limited. Art and music are also really good.
Fun game with smooth graphics and gameplay. I think I'd like a little bit more precision in how the puzzles were put together (e.g. rather than needing to look through the edges of the glass at times), and I did get a little confused in understanding that objects blocked each other at first (perhaps this was the shadows issue!), but overall I had fun and enjoyed the concept.
Really nice game with cool concept and solid gameply. Little confusion at start but my overall experience was really great. Congrats, great work!
Pretty nice game! I didn't really know what I needed to do at first, in the first even after checking the controls I didn't understand. Same for the second level, I didn't see why I wasn't able to scale up the bridge.
Yeah, there is an issue where windows don't cast shadows in the browser version, so it's a bit harder to understand.
Nice and polished really enjoyed it!
Really nice and polished game! The puzzles are very clever and enjoyable, the music and art are very well made. Good job!
I love this, inspiration from Superliminal of course but this is a cool twist on it. The sound design and general style is great too!
This was insanely good! The puzzle mechanic definitely started simple and got quite interesting, but I think the real star was the amazing art and music! Definitely gave me Hollow Knight vibes for some reason.
wow thanks, what an honor to be compared to such great music, i uploaded a link to my soundcloud with the music if you want to chek it out. https://on.soundcloud.com/KPfBadGrMoV5Jxze7
This game is really sick! It's such a well-done and unique take to the scaling puzzle archetype of games I've seen! Everything is so polished and put together, it's very impressive.
I'm not the biggest fan of movement being the controlling factor in the actual scaling since it made things tedious at certain points, and didn't feel like it added anything other than just being a bit gimmicky. It's a cool idea in concept, but not something that I feel plays well in execution.
Unfortunately, I had to skip a level or two (level 3 was one) because my hitbox kept colliding with a wall, and I couldn't effectively move to grow and shrink.
Overall, still a very fun game!
Heey, thank you a lot for such a detailed comment!
The movement factor is quite crucial because the mechanic scales based on the player's perspective through the glass. In other words, the closer you get, the bigger the object appears. :D
Just wanted to clarify so you have a better idea vision!
According to the 3rd level, you need to shrink the bush first to be able to enlarge the plank, so maybe that was the case? Otherwise, if it's something else, thank you for letting us know! And for the feedback in general. :)
Very nice game! Cool concept, very clean art design and super cool sfx! Whaaaaaaaaahhh....
hahaha thankss i knew spending way to long on that would pay off (:
Super polished puzzle game, especially the sound design! I mean, listen to the various screams when the character is falling ^^ (it sounds creepy when I say it, but the sounds are kinda comical)
The controls are fine, until you meet breaking glasses, where you are often forced to restart a puzzle because you can't execute the solution properly.
Otherwise, perfect game.
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!
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.
You absolutely can! https://soundcloud.com/maxi-gottert/sets/whimsical-creature-ost
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!
Loved everything about this. The mechanics, the graphics, the music, sound effects. Just amazing!
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! :)
