Super cute little game, and an excellent take on the theme! Maybe some coyote time would really help the platforming!

I think this is a really good game already. simple but cute retro artstyle and the theme works well! the puzzles do have some "aha!" effect, which i find really cool. i actually believe we made really similar games lol. one thing i would add to the game is some koyote time when jumping off ledges! great work, man ;)

I'll just say this game has a lot of potential. Scaling affects every object in the scene, which can give way to ingenious puzzles. Here's the feature I suggest if you plan on continuing: In some levels, you're not the one who scale, but the environment scales up, allow you to squeeze through small gap and obtain a sized object, but having hard time pushing through the spikes.

Interesting idea and nice execution for the time given!

I too agree that some extra polish at the movement mechanics would greatly improve the experience!

In addition to, the game was too difficult for me, but then again I'm not very good at platformers!

I really liked the idea of also scaling the objects around the player and the implementation of slow motion.

Very fun, cool idea, could use more platformer polish: coyote time, jump buffering felt very punishing. Also the physics in the last level were quite hard. Nice!
