Amazing game! The environment was so calming along with the happy music. The game size is a bit too large so people with limited internet may not be able to play. Anyways great game!

Cute character, intriguing concept. It does run a bit slow and Frodger moves slowly on top of that, which is a bit patience testing.

Adorable art. Loved the 3d animations and the feel of the world. I did however get stuck in level 4ish, just after getting the second round of growth-juice, I only had the ladder and it couldn't span the gap to the top? I could see this becoming a full title. Frodger was especially cute, has a lot of character. The third-person camera also really highlights the gamespace well. Good job for making this in such a small window, really impressive.

Good submission. There should be controls for rotating objects up and down in addition to left and right, because without it solving the puzzles felt more finicky than intuitive. There also needs to be more puzzle variety, because all the puzzles are basically just using the objects to get to higher places. Other than that, it's a very charming game.

A very good game. It has everything going for it, really. Endearing art (both in-game and the 2d cover art, plus Frodger's funny walk animation), whimsical music and sounds (Frodger's little croaks and squeaks), a creative idea that involves the theme in the gameplay very well, and a decent setup for puzzles.  

I guess the only thing I could comment on worth improving is some polish in the gameplay, and more content. Both of which are incredibly difficult to deliver in a 4 day jam, especially for a 3d game.

All in all, It was really fun through-and-through, and shows promise. I would suggest a post-jam release for sure, for this game. Cheers! :)

Oh and, here's me inside Kaiju, haha. A satisfying ending

Wonderful game! Very pleasing visual and audio design. Interesting mechanics. I'm glad there's a limitation on mana, but I wished it was just a little bigger. I like that player can come up with his own decision on how to tackle each level. Good work!

Nice looking game. The puzzle may be too easy but that's ok. The pc control for grabbing/controlling the piece didn't give me a good feeling more user feedback would be cool. Overall a good game !
A button to restart the current level would be appreciated as it's easy to loose a piece or go out of bound.

Honestly, no notes. I feel under qualified to be leaving any critique on this game. I mentioned to one of the devs in chat about the puzzles being perhaps a little easy, and they are well aware. Amazing entry, well done.

I'm amazed that your team was able to make something like this in just 4 days! The 3D models and design were spot on. Gameplay loop was pretty nice and I had a fun time solving puzzles with the scale mechanic! I would say maybe add in button prompts or a scale guide to help players better gauge on how to properly scale and manipulate the objects but aside from that, great work!

The Frodger is just adorable! I am in love with your art style :) Scaling objects feels so nice and smooth, and the puzzles are fun to solve. 

The gameplay reminded me of Trine btw. Great entry :)

I thought this game was really fun and fit the theme quite nicely. Felt really fun to hop around and play the puzzles. if I had to give some feedback id say to work on the key binds for keyboard. That said this game actually has controller support which is awesome for a game made in a jam.  Great work tho, really cool game!!!
