Very clever puzzles from a simple mechanic, well done! I love the sfx of scaling stuff up and down.
Thanks for playing! that sound started with simple piano sound with random pitch ( making it horrorible lol ).
Very cool puzzle game! I couldn't solve all of them, but some of the concepts were neat and made great use of the mechanic. I loved the puzzle where you had to use a falling box as a platform to get across. Very creative!
I bet you are the first one to like that puzzle. Even I myself hate it lol. Thanks for playing. Glad to know you enjoy it!
The difficulty curve was really good on this. I liked the style too!
Thanks for playing! I'm really happy that the curve worked!
I loved the puzzle game and the concept but idk if I was trying too hard and the solution was easy but I felt like past level 13 I had to have almost pixel-perfect inputs to beat the whole game, needless to say it was hard... but fun
Sorry to know it has been frustrating. Some of the puzzles can be tricky for I had no brain for serious puzzles OTL. Glad to konw you enjoy it!
Nice puzzle plaftformer :D! I struggled to understand the yellow puzzles, but otherwise it was fun playing around with the mechanics! Congratulation for making this :D
I'm so glad you like it! I hope this could provide more freedom to let players try around but I had no brain for that. Thanks for playing!
I love this one.
Simple, gets your brain going, I love all the little interactions which at first I thought I broke the game at, but no it's actually a part of the solution. I like the artwork too. Well done :)
Thanks for playing! I didnt know the clipping function would scare players lol but now I see it really looks like a bug. I'm so glad you like it!
Great concept ! Puzzles are really nice, but it's sometime hard to execute the solution even when you figured it out. Good thing there was a skip button so I could leave a level when I was satisfied that I knew how to beat it but just didn't want to put in the skill and timing
I think the same way when I figured out the solution but cant execute in World of Goo. That's why I stole the skip button from Kyle Gabler lol. Thanks for playing!
Love for it's simplicity and of couse the puzzles, all really well done (some of them made me believe that my brain still works), it's a wild concept that work's really well. Great job!
The puzzles can be a little tricky sometimes lol. Glad you like it and got over the puzzles! Thanks for playing!
Very cool game! very nice and chill art style. Good job!
Thanks for playing! I'm so glad you like it!
Great serendipitous mechanic you've found, and interesting levels! I quite liked the ambience with the bird chirps and the painterly backgrounds (:
Glad you like it! Luckily that regulation came to me when i saw the theme and evolved into the game. Thanks for playing!
Good idea, I really liked the "clipping through wall" mechanic
Thanks for playing! This shows how a bug turned out to be a key feature lol. Glad you enjoy it!
Lol we did the same in our game, we had a bug where the player would start sliding everywhere and after fixing it we implemented it as a modifier XD
Great game ! Great design of levels and of sound effects, love the arts too. Keep up the good work :)
Thanks for playing! The randomly played sound effects really got me when i firstly tried it out. Glad to know you enjoy this!
A pleasant, short, beautiful puzzle game with great artwork and sound effects. Levels were designed superbly. The ambience was excellent, but I felt the music could have added more. I can't think of any other criticism, so well done.
I would like to compose for it if the storyline was more complete lol. Time was limited so I gave up. Glad you enjoy it!
Really creative game. I love this art.
Thanks for playing! I tried to achieve the art in your work but failed orz. But now it seems still fine lol.
It's a very good and relaxing game. I think it would be great for mobile to play anywhere. The levels are well thought out, and the fact that you use the border to enter and exit the square is very clever. Well done Huida :)))
Thanks for playing and calling me by Huida lol. It is the brand I use for the first time, literally meaning "answer". I want the game to answer the players who may feel isolated in the real world
What an amazing experience! The gameplay is fun and relaxing, and the music and sound efects are really good. Good Job!
Thanks for playing! It would be better if I got art genius like your team!
Perfect level designs and a cute game hiding a story that I can not really tell. Although it's a common idea to scale the objects, the idea of changing the boarder in and out is so unique! Loved it!
Yeah! The first second I saw the theme I decided to scale the game border ( turning out to be just a box inside the border ) maybe I still remember the theme last year lol. Thanks for playing!
Awesome submission. I like the very relax ambiance and the mechanic is interesting. I had fun playing multiple level, and thank you for letting us skip to the next level!
Thanks to Kyle Gabbler. I stole the skip function as a key from WOG. Thank you for playing!
The level design is very cool and I like the feeling of tricking the game by scaling boxes in a way that the player "glitches out" of them. Also the graphics are very appealing
Thanks for playing! Hope you enjoy this game : )
I am typically not a fan of puzzle games, but this one is honestly pretty good!
I'm not clever enough to design steady puzzles lol. So i tried to combine platformer into it ( and tricky levels lol )
Clever idea, just wished I was clever enough to beat it
Sorry to frustrate you orz. I coulda done a tips system but I just let it slip my mind.
I bet I just need a bit of a break before coming back and solving it. Just like the best puzzles. Not your fault.
Hope you have a good journey here
