Submitted

Cute art

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Really high level of polish, with snappy gameplay too! Great work, would love to play more!

Submitted

It's a really fun platformer, the controls are intuituve and the art is really cool. Also appreciate the level timers and the option to change the volume.

Submitted

This has been the best game I have played so far. Super polished with amazing visuals. I love it.

Submitted

Overall good game. I like both art, animation, gameplay and ideas the game throws at me. The character controller feels responsive due to things like input buffering and coyote time. Liked the way you could break ice when big. Though those traps often took me by surprise and quickly erased a bit of progress. Maybe have arrows (the bow related ones) on the walls in dangerous spots as a heads up?

Submitted

Awesome puzzle game, and great atmosphere! I wish there were more checkpoints and a way to manually go back to them though; I ended up getting softlocked near the end of the last level a few times before I could beat it.

Submitted

the art and music is sooo cool, also big fan of being able to make my jumps higher through small to medium!

Submitted

love that character animation :0

Submitted

Good mix of action and puzzles. The sizescaling and name reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. The art was delightful and the camera zooming out with size was a nice touch. Took me a couple tries to figure out the arrow shooters, it was a good challenge. In a post jam version I'd suggest effects when you're changing size.

Submitted

The art is fantastic! The gameplay itself is pretty solid, the frequent checkpoints helped it from ever feeling too frustrating and the puzzles were all pretty novel.

Submitted

the run animation is amazing and i love the small version's sprite, I wish the big version also had a unique sprite.

This was really well done. Pretty basic take on the theme but very well executed. Puzzles had a nice escalation in difficulty and never got too crazy, and made decent use of the size mechanic. Little touches like the camera zoom based on your size are also pretty cool. Probably my only real complaint is that I don't like platforming with a keyboard, so gamepad support would be nice.

Submitted

 I've seen this idea a few times in other entries, but so far this is the best execution. I was able to pick up on the controls almost immediately and the level design was fantastic. 

The audio and art style weren't  bad, but didn't knock it out of the park. That's my only real criticism and it can be forgiven for a game jam. 

If you wanted to make this a full title, maybe add a story inspired by Alice in Wonderland? That scene where she needs to get small to enter Wonderland might work. 

Submitted

the character design is very cute, and really nice puzzles!

Submitted

Jam games shouldn't look this good! <3. Great concept, execution and style. Well done!

Submitted

Great pixel art, and decent level design, although the mechanics aren’t ground-breaking :-) The music, as it is, gets quite repetitive. I would have liked to see more fantastical Alice art, even though it already is a pretty game as is - well done!

Submitted

I like this pixel art, its adorable
