How does your game fit the theme?
The player pick up blocks and uses those to scale on the x- and y-axis, which allows for the player to control the speed (wider = slower), and to punch through obstacles, sacrificing height in the process.

Really liked the idea, i'm so sad that the game has that few levels.. At first i was a bit confused by the red and green blocks but once i scaled my character everything went super smooth. It's very trial and error but the juice and feels is super good to me, that's a very cool idea good job !!

When you get the chance create some puzzle based levels. The mechanic is so much fun but the game ends too soon ha. I like the music aswell. 

Developer

Thank you - much appreciated!

Excuse me, I'm a bit stupid. What can I do to avoid being hit by a white brick? I tried all the buttons!

Developer

Picking up a green block first allows you to make yourself taller (using the up key), and then you can break through it. Thank you for playing the game!

Felt really good to play and I had a lot of fun with the mechanics. Could make for some challenging designs.

Developer

Thank you! Yes, I ended up spending my time on creating and then fixing dumb bugs instead of something useful like level design.

Would’ve liked more levels! Just as I understood the game, it ended! Here are a couple of thoughts I had:

  • The font with the instructions/controls were a bit hard to read.

  • I think the x-axis grabber should extend on both sides. I know that it would break the imagery of a cartesian axes, but it somehow feels unnatural to the game-play this way.

  • It was not entirely clear why I should bother grabbing the red blocks to begin with. I then realized that getting enough of them would extend your reach. But then why, because getting more just extends it further? Maybe this was intend to be fleshed out with more levels?

  • Good choice in making the turn-around time between death and respawn pretty fast because that makes the player want to keep trying. I think a smooth wipe animation would also be a nice addition, like in Celeste!

Those are some annoyingly well-thought-out comments - thank you! You made me want to continue tinkering with this after the jam...

Yes, that mechanic never really got into play.

The red blocks help slow you down to help with maneuvering.

Need a little bit of time to get the hang of it, but then this game is cool.

Developer

Thank you - very glad to hear it!

I like this game, really amazing that collect and then punch loop.

Developer

Thank you! :)

Once I got the hang of it I wanted more! A lot of potential here for more levels or even making it infinite.

Developer

Oo - that's great to hear. Yes, I very clearly ran out of time - procedurally generated levels was the plan.

Great mechanics and super catchy music!

Developer

Coming from the composer (etc) of the great "Built For It" music, that warms my heart. Thank you!
