Nice game! I couldn't beat 14, 16, or 20, but overall it seemed like a solid puzzle game.

I feel like the parts with precise timing like level 14 were a little too tight, but otherwise it felt good

Thanks for playing. And I have to admit you play games deeper than I do. LOL. Hope you had a good time here!

Submitted

Very smart, couldn't pass the level 11 sadly. Minimalistic sound gives a chill ambiance.

Good job!!

Developer(+1)

Glad to konw you like it! The late game can be a little tricky lol. Hope it was not too frustrating!

Submitted

LOVED IT! It really impressed me on how you played with what happens with the collisions during shrinking/expanding. In some games, that would be "bugs", but not on your game, fantastic!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! It wasnt what i expected in the beginning but later it became the core feature lol

Submitted

A good puzzle game using something fresh and new so for me it's a 10/10 ! :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the cheerful compliment! Really glad you like it!

Submitted

Very interesting game mechanic and clever puzzles! I also liked the music but unfortunately the bird chirping was a little bit too grating for my ears so I ended up muting the sound. Still, 5/5!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm so gald you enjoy it!

Submitted

Cool idea and nice aesthetic, good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! It's great to see SoloBro submmiting a game about combination lol

Submitted

Good level design, excellent vibe and right on theme. That's a 5 stars!

Developer

I'm so glad you like it! to leave the topic a litlle bit. I really wonder the story behind your studio name!

Submitted

haha nothing fancy, it is just a mountain close to where I live in Austria that is called Untersberg ;)

Developer(+1)

Oh I really think the name of that mountain is intereting. I mean, Untersberg. Why would it be a Untersberg? simply curious lol

Submitted

A great mental trainer combined with pleasant sound effects... what else do you need for a good game? Definitely like this game!

Developer(+1)

I'll answer that: a smoother controller lol. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

this game is really cute!!! I've seen this mechanic in a few other games but you do it really well in a simple way!!!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I really wanted to be the real border scaling but failed. Luckily it remains playable lol.

Submitted

What a really nice idea, the level designs are so baffling, I wonder how you thought of these, this is a very brilliant game, i love it

Developer(+1)

So glad you like it! Thanks for playing! I just tried playing in the editor and the puzzles came to me. Pure time consuming work lol

Submitted

you are so smarttt i can never think of these designs! good job!!!! congrats!

Developer

When the regulation is set the puzzles will come. I believe the key to game design is to set a simple prototype with many possibilities and try them out as a player. Thanks for the kind word and cheerful comments. That means a lot to me!

Submitted

Awesome level design. My potato brain couldnt comprehend level 11 so i quit.

Developer

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 

Developer

I'm sooo glad you like it! ( at the price of minutes )

Submitted

Very creative puzzles and a nice minimalist soundscape too, GG!

Developer

Glad to know you like it! WP!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad to know you like it!

Submitted

great level design anf idea! dont really have much to complain but the full screen doesnt scale properly

Developer

really sorry to konw that orz. Hope you enjoy this game! Thanks for playing!

Submitted

This is fantastic!

I love how the sound plays with the border, and the design is great!

Submitted

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!

Submitted

Even though the UI elements don't fit on the screen even in fullscreen mode, the concept of the game is really cool!

Developer

LOL sorry to hear about that. It was a right decision to place UI there. Or it would be the game that is hidden.
