That was fun! The puzzles were neat, the mechanics were solid, and the art is quite charming. The ending is simple, effective, and beautiful. Great work!

Super inventive take on the theme, and the level of polish here is inspiring! I really hope you continue development because not only does the concept have lots of potential, but I also selfishly want to see some more complicated and devious puzzles. Great work to everyone involved, and I hope lots of people find this awesome game!

I love that "Hey" when you try to cross the line when too small. The presentation on this game was awesome and the puzzle difficulty was perfect for me!

Developer

Matryoshka dolls are an excellent response to the scaling theme, and this game uses the mechanic very elegantly.  I love that the different levels of the doll need to be used in more than one way to solve puzzles. Great level designs too.  One of my favorite games of the jam so far. WELL DONE!

Such a lovely realized concept and cozy puzzle game! This feels like an idea where a lot of dev time should, of course, go into great puzzles but also into polish to really make it cozy and even more memorable. Good work!

Submitted

Really nice art and very cool idea! 

Submitted

Nice interpretation of the theme! The puzzles weren't too hard (which is a good thing) and I've enjoyed the game.

Submitted

The art was very nice. Loved the little jiggle, the matryoshka does when it moves. Clever design and overall really great. I enjoyed it a lot!! Good job!!

Submitted

Very charming and clever game! Would love to see this concept explored in a longer game :)

COOOL!!! matryoshka balalaika

Why is the dolls jumping so funny lmao

Really nicely done concept, The matryoshka doll is a perfect contender for the theme, I should have thought that earlier. That being said the puzzles could have more depth, I'd like to see some puzzles utilizing 2 or more dolls being inside of a bigger doll.

Submitted

The game is so charming and whimsical! I love the direction you took the theme- I never would've thought of using nesting dolls, but it makes so much sense!

Submitted

Cool art style, nice work!

Submitted

Yes

i love the idea but it has some bugs.

Submitted

Very nice puzzle! Easy to understand and plenty of room for various level difficulties.
