Really creative ! I didn't have much difficulties to understand the mecanics, and enjoyed them to the max ! Congrats on making such a good game :) This can go by the most creative game i've played until now ! Keep up the good work !!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it and that it was easy to figure out. I didn't have time for a proper tutorial so that was one of my biggest worries.
A reaĺly creative and well implemented game. I wish there was a sixth star for creativity. It's difficult and enjoyful at the same time, Simple and understandble mechanics, everything makes sense. The fact that you can learn all the mechanics in 1 min is really cool and mind blowing. I think that's because we already knew how to move windows, resize them, and we knew what would be scaling without the shift button. The gameplay is so bold and outstanding but art and music fit perfectly, Honestly, the first time I played this I thought the transparent bg is a bug. The game was creative, cool and simple. I call that a great game design! Thanks a lot for making this. Good luck, hope to see you in the first 20.
Thank you for not only taking the time to check it out but writing such a thoughtful comment. Its greatly appreciated.
Really enjoyed this. Very clever concept and implemented really well.
I like that there was a lot of freeform in how to play, by resizing windows or the character, swapping windows positions or overlaying them on top of each other.
Very addicting experience.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the variety. At first I thought about trying to force the player to not do things like move the windows too much, but I think this way it is much better.
I was genuinely impressed with the window scaling - the fact that they played across my background as well just added to the game. I'm very impressed you got this done in the time! Also clever use of time limited windows. I kept trying to hang on to the first couple of them.
Thank you for the nice comment! It was definitely a hack job getting it to work in time, not my proudest code lol.
Damn that's propably the best game with scale the window mechanic. Really good levell design. Very creative and polished. Amazing work, congrats!
I appreciate that, especially since level design is the thing I am definitely least comfortable with and the most self conscious about. Thank you!
this is BY FAR the most creative game ive seen, at first i didnt think you could move the screens and stuff, u almost missed the whole point but i found out later, the randomized windows and stuff is so clever, such a well made game 10/10
Thank you! Glad you didn't miss the "hook" lol, I wish I had time to add tutorial messages, something like what you did with messages in world would have helped I think.
Intersting apply of the theme. You can create another game with this prototype concept and sprites of yours.
Thank you for checking it out and letting me know what you think!
this is genuinely so awesome, love your take on the theme, well done!
Thank you for taking the time to play and for the nice feedback!
aw man i dont know why but i cant launch your game! it looks really creative and fun
ill still rate you high numbers based on how the gameplay looks!
Dang, first I've heard that, hope its not a prevalent issue. I appreciate you trying and taking the time to check it out!
Great execution! This is my favorite of the few I've seen with similar mechanic so far. Good enough challenge to encourage replaying.
Thanks for taking the time to play it!
Nice job! Before the jam, I had already seen a lot of games using window interaction as the core gameplay, but this one is much better. It gave me an impressive gaming experience, and the idea fits the theme super well. Love it!
Thanks for the kind words and taking time out of your day to give it a try!
Very neat little game, love the concept!
Thank you!
This was a super interesting concept! I found that I tended not to use a or d to walk and instead would just resize windows into eachother haha. Wonderful take on the prompt nice work!
That is definitely a valid way of playing lol. I appreciate that you took the time to play and comment, thanks!
Really nice entry! Great take on the theme. Amazing job—keep up the good work!
Thank you for taking the time to play and leave a comment, I appreciate it!
Very neat and interesting concept! You took the scaling to a direction I was not expected! Congrats!
Thanks for taking the time to play!
Very neat - it takes some real thought to get ahead.
Well that was not what I expected! An inspired and unique experience.
Very very cool! Way harder than I thought it would be! Don't think I ever made it past 10 coins or so! What a great idea. Awesome work!
Thanks for taking the time to play!
This has got to be one of the most unique games I've ever experienced. It's so cool, so creative, very interesting puzzle solving - you're able to do stuff I never thought about in any video game.
Incredible vision.
Thank you for taking the time to play!
Clever idea and great execution. Excellent job!
