Awesome level design. My potato brain couldnt comprehend level 11 so i quit.
Glad to konw you like ( half of ) it! you can skip every single level with P key if you ever want to try it again. Thanks for playing!
I love how you implemented the theme into your game! The puzzles are very well-thought out, too. Some of them took me several minutes to solve. =O
I'm sooo glad you like it! ( at the price of minutes )
Very creative puzzles and a nice minimalist soundscape too, GG!
Glad to know you like it! WP!
Really interesting concept and puzzle design. Not seen anything like it!
So glad you find something new here! That's exactly what I want! Thanks for playing!
The puzzles in this are so clever. I really liked your take on the theme!! Great stuff.
Thanks for playing! Glad to know you like it!
I like the visual style and sound effects of this game. The puzzles are interesting too.
Thanks for playing! Glad to know you like it!
great level design anf idea! dont really have much to complain but the full screen doesnt scale properly
really sorry to konw that orz. Hope you enjoy this game! Thanks for playing!
This is fantastic!
I love how the sound plays with the border, and the design is great!
Really clever and inventive puzzle design, with a consistently pretty and calming aesthetic. This is 100% my exact king of game, was puzzle platformer with a unique hook that gets extrapolated out to really creative puzzles, so maybe I am just the target audience, but I did love this. But there were a number of instances, starting around level 12, where I could see what the solution to the puzzle was, but couldn't quite execute the platform timing to solve it. I would recommend lowering the platform difficulty slightly, and implementing coyote-time to make some of the jumps slightly more forgiving. But overall, this was truly excellent work. Great job!
Even though the UI elements don't fit on the screen even in fullscreen mode, the concept of the game is really cool!
LOL sorry to hear about that. It was a right decision to place UI there. Or it would be the game that is hidden.
A very nice puzzle, I enjoyed how simple the controls were yet the tasks appeared to be quite challenging! Best combo :)
Glad to know you enjoy it! Thanks for playing!
that's a really odd and really good puzzle game! really good entry
Thanks for playing! I like it when you say it's odd. I like new things
oh yea odd was a compliment! i'm with you on liking peculiar and new games!
Sick game, really like how something like clipping through objects which would be seen as a bug in most games, you have turned into an actual mechanic.
Brilliant work, looks great too!
Thanks for playing! in the very beginning it was a "unexpected feature". But now it's a core feature : )
Very nice, I really enjoyed figuring out the right combination to scale the borders!
Thank you so much! I hope the levels and visuals not that annoying : )
No, I think the visuals are beautiful and fit the game well!
As everyone said, best puzzle game of the jam.
So simple but yet so interresting. The 2nd puzzle made me see the potential : "WOW".
Really good job, very elegant!
I'm so glad you enjoy it! Thank you for playing. Best or just OK or what, I'll keep making new games and do my best!
Wowwww, this is easily my favorite game of the jam so far. Such simple, elegant mechanics, sooooo many fun well designed puzzles, and a great response to the theme. Truly masterful job. I'd be surprised if you didn't make top 100 or 20. WELL DONE!
Thank you for those cheeful comments! I really wish to make it! Anyway I'll keep trying to make good games. This is my first attempt for a jam and also first to publish a game. Really glad to know you like it. Thank you again!
This is such a cute game! I love the art style, its simple but also has a lot of character. I really liked having that skip button too so I could playing the game even though I couldn't pass a level. Super fun!!
Thanks to Kyle Gabbler. I stole the skip button from WOG and 7 billion humans. I should have stolen the intereting tips system but didnt. That's a shame. Glad to know you like it! thank you!
Looks really nice. Maybe a little chill music would have add a lot ♥
I got stucked at level 5 T-T
I'll ask you for some chill music like egyptian next time ( what )
Thanks for playing! I'm sorry not having added tips system. That's one of my regrets ( others like controller, contrast and so on )
Ah ah ♥
Don't be sorry, I'm bad and you won't have the time to make a tips system (and tips aren't always good).
I found it ! :D
It's kinda complex as early levels.
We need to squeeze the square and main character both into the border.
Then stand on the square.
Shrink till you can jump on the wall ( one single tile )
Shrink to squeeze you out of the border.
Scale to reach the ♥
Oh you found it！
Yup ! I thought we were too low and had to put the box above the middle square (impossible to do xD).
I'll start with the criticism, but before anything know that your game is AMAZING.
I encountered a few issues while playing, mostly that some platforms were almost invisible due to them being the same color as the background. I felt that the character controller could also use some work: jumping while going sideways limits your jump height, no coyote time, etc.
On the puzzle side, I had trouble timing everything on level 16, skipped it (thanks!), struggeled through 17 and quit at 18, but everything before was pure puzzling joy <3
Your mechanics are new and well implemented (which I imagine is no small feat), and the level design makes them shine even brighter: truly an incredible puzzle game and an outstanding jam entry.
Thanks for your game, and huge congratulations!
A huge thank for the sincere feedback! I really regert letting the contrast problem and controller slip the polishing ( and spent half my time for a effect that doestnt work well on web ). This is a great lesson taught. Thanks for playing! I'll make more better-polished games, trying my best in mechanics, levels, art and of course, the controller. Thanks again!
very interesting mechanic, fun puzzle game overall ദ്ദി（• ˕ •マ.ᐟ
Thanks for playing! I like your profile pic！
