This game is really fun! I wish I could create puzzles like this!
Oh if you are a bad coder and often meet trouble achieving what you wanted at first you would create puzlles like this lol. Thanks for playing! I wish I could make this better!
This is such a great idea! The level design is top notch, the puzzles involved are very interesting, challenging in the right amount
Oh thank you for that cheerful comments! that means a lot to me!
What a simple but powerful mechanic! This game was one of the easiest to pick up and it felt natural to get stuck in and try to solve the levels. Very well done with the progression too. While it was initially not super clear that I'd "leach through" the walls, it soon felt downright clever. Great job!
Thank you for playing! You really point out what I wanted to achieve!
Getting through walls was a bit surprising but felt natural. Good take on theme. Sound and visuals are pleasing too. Well done!
Yeah the movement of borders are beyond pyhsics so it force everything to follow its regulation. Thank you for playing!
I honestly love the way you just glitch through the wall. I always like using bugs and this is just a feature!! (well I think it is, else idk how to beat the levels)
a bug in my first day and key feature the rest 3 : )
love the tweening used
I love it too when it suddenly showed in the first hour making this game lol
The circle going through the square felt like a bug for the first time, but it's a really cool and clever mechanic. Also, you manage to do quite a lot of levels with nice difficulty progression. Very nice entry!
Thank you for playing! And you really point out the work I have been engaged into!
Simple yet creative gameplay! Cool box scaler.
Thank you for playing! I want it as borders but you are right. it's a box in fact lol
This has such a good difficulty curve. The levels demonstrate the mechanics wonderfully, with each on showing a new way of playing in a super natural way. That's not easy to design, well done!
Glad you like it! I watched GMTK for puzzles twice and can recite only the curve things lol. The other rules for puzzle design just slip my mind.
I think you learned more than you think! The best puzzles are ones using simple mechanics in new and interesting ways, and your game demonstrates that well! You should be proud!
Thank you for the cheerful comments! This means a lot to me
Cool puzzle mechanic! Sometimes it was very challenging for me to deal with the correct timings for the platforming elements but the logical puzzles are great!
Thank you for playing! Glad to know you meet both platformer levels and puzzle levels! I wanted it as a platformer demanding agility but failed to do it
I think in your concept the main strength is in the smart puzzle mechanics that work great. Its often hard to merge platforming and puzzling right and I like that in your game platforming is a part of the puzzle and requires strategy. So I would purposefully make the platforming less demanding and more strategic. But I still enjoyed the 13 levels that I completed ! Good job!
great puzzler! i encounterd a bug on lvl 4 where it just skipped to the next lvl
Oh i never thought of that! Now it's a bad puzzle for me to solve. Thank you for playing!
excellent game. I really love the ambient sound
Really cool and unique interpretation of the theme! A fun puzzler! Nice work
it cant be uniquer than your work. Really got me. I love that!
This is one of my favorite uses of the theme, very creative, I really loved the core mechanic. The visuals could be better though, also the sounds could use some work, specially the jump sound (bird singing). Also, controling the character is not very responsive, more specific, the jump could be better if you implemented a coyote time and jump buffer.
Thanks for the precious feedbacks! I totally agree with you about the visuals and controlling. kind regret not having polished it well
very interesting puzzle game! i got stuck on level 20 but a lot of the levels had a lot of planning behind them. i like the aesthetic of the clouds and the backgrounds a lot too. gj!
Thank you for playing! I do have a lot of planning ( trying out again and again in the editor lol) hope you like all the 20 puzzles! And the 21, no one would like it. that's why it got a different art
It is a very interesting use of the game theme and a great concept. The art needs to stand out a bit against the bg, but otherwise pretty good. I got stuck on level 9, the solution wasn’t clear.
Thank you for playing! you are totally right about the art and I'm ashamed that I just left the problem while it wouldnt take too long. level 9 is about jumping and landing with bigger box but float with smaller ones lol.
Very interesting game! When I first saw the border scaling mechanic I didn't expect being squished through it to be an intended solution, but it was really cool to see and made for some interesting puzzles!
Thank you for playing! I just wasnt able to keep the borders out of everything so it turned out to be a core mechanic lol
Oh, that was very nice game! It has very nice artstyle and I like the sounds, they are quite satisfying. Use of clipping as mechanics was very smart! I think on level 21 something was wrong with colliders, but oh well. Really good work!
Thank you for playing through the game! I decided not to cover the background in 21 so the single one tile is invisible lol. That was unserious and I'll avoid that next time.
Really loved the puzzles! They were very clear and I loved seeing how many levels I have left, each one made me think of the mechanics in a new way which was refreshing! Well done!
Thank you for playing! When I play games in this jam I started to know how important it is to let players know how many are left. I was lucky to come up with the idea lol.
I thought the art was lovely, and so was the sound design all the little plink sounds! Well done!
Controls are a little confusing, having both hands on the keyboard, and I did manage to glitch myself out of the level once, but otherwise its fantastic.
Would be very grateful if you tried our game!
Yeah I just found that bug minites ago lol. Thank you for playing!
