How does your game fit the theme?
the theme of the game is about scaling down the complexity of levels, as often in game development you have to scale your expectations down in order to finish your game, the game is also about building the levels which splits the theme of the project into "scales" and "building"

Really creative idea, one of the funner puzzle games from this jam! I think some of the UI/UX choices could use some rethinking (like the bars), but it didn't really detract from the fun of the game < 3

Really funny game idea!

I kinda wish there was a way to add things back in other than completely resetting the level, but otherwise this was pretty good!

Congratulation for making this! It's a cool idea :D! I love meta games, and this had enjoyable puzzles!

A little close to home, but fantastic game! Nice job on the mechanics! They felt really smooth. The scroll thing was a little confusing at first though, and it's a bit small to see when I'm playing it. Solid game jam game!

The issue with uploading games to itch.io is indeed a painful one >/<. I'm glad someone talked about it! Excellent puzzle!

Love the idea! I tried beating some levels in an unintended way and that was even more fun. It's realy cool that you can edit the level and play at the same time.

I had a really great time playing! I loved the concept of being able to play the game even while using Edit Mode. There seems to be a small bug when switching modes, but it's nothing major.

Very interesting idea!It really completed the scale it down creative idea with great creativity, but it may require some guidance

Really fun concept! I've seen other "scale it down" games, but this is probably one of the more well thought out ones. Good stuff!

Short and sweet. Ties into the theme in an interesting way. My only complaint is that the interface is a little clunky

Very cool idea!

Tried cheesing the last level by jumping with the trampoline and deleting it while airborne, but it's hard to delete it and exit edit mode fast enough before leaving the blue zone :)

(btw you can't click on objects that are inside the blue zone)

Great idea, very creative! The game itself could use some explaining but the moment you understand it really starts rolling. Really fun, GJ! :)
