We loved the grid system, it was a head scratcher first time with the scaled down boxes,
 before realizing the solution! very good puzzle game

Submitted

Really interesting out of the grid mechanics for a sokoban like game

Submitted

Great job with this entry! I love the visual style you went with as well as the pretty  clever level design.

Submitted

Very creative to have the solutions involve being offset from the formal grid. Well done!

Submitted

Super clever and tricky (at least for me puzzles). Great take on the theme, excellent job!

I had trouble with the first few levels until I started...thinking inside the box.  I'll see myself out.  Great game!

ଘ(੭´꒳`)°* ੈ‧₊˚ fun and simple puzzle game

The way this game takes a standard puzzle mechanic and expands on it in the direction of the theme is frankly brilliant. In particular the half-size expansion and how that leads to the off-grid box/player mechanic put a smile on my face, especially as I keep rediscovering how it can be used in the puzzles. Awesome jam game right here!

Really cool game. I like how the blocks can go off the grid it opens up some interesting opportunities. Well done.

This level is driving me nuts, I cannot figure out a way to cross. My theory is that I need to shrink the box to left to push the box to right off grid and get it to cover two halves of the gap, but I can't do that since I can't get on the right side of the right-most box before the gap. Really nice game, well designed puzzles and a fun twist of going of grid BUT I NEED TO KNOW HOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE SOLVED, pls help.

Developer

You have the right idea, but You don't need to get to the right side of that box just align yourself  with the left one and align the right one to yourself

At first i was like "is this game broken why doesnt it work" then it hit me

Developer

To be honest there are still some bugs, and mechanics that are hard to understand

Submitted

Really cool idea, really like that the boxes could be unaligned!

Would be very grateful if you tried our game!

Submitted

I love how the scaling of the boxes actually works, really clever level design too! Love it

Submitted

Hey! This one looks really polished! 

Even though I don't consider myself a smart person, I wasn't able to get past this level (and it's one of the first levels haha). Only one box and one shrinking ray with 4 pit tiles, maybe you could give me some hint?

And the way you did all the work yourself in your game is amazing. Well done!

Developer

I have two hints for you:

1:You have to be fully over a pit to fall

2:In previous level you learn how to stand in between 2 tiles 

Submitted

Oh my god! Couldn't quite get that mechanic when I finished the tutorial, but thanks to your tip I was able to finish the game. Cheers!

Developer

Congratulations and thanks for playing!

Great puzzles. Really had me scratching my head. Very unexpected mechanic that very much made me have to forget all of the usual tools I'd learned for what I expected the puzzles would be like in this sort of game. Very creative.

Submitted

There were a couple of aha-moments in the game , I liked that you did various mechanics. It's simple but feels good

Developer

Thanks for playing! Happy to hear you liked it!
