Nice platformer mechanic. Got it right away. The controls could use a little tweaking, but the easy to read assets make this a solid submission! The tune very much reminds me of some old school NES games. Thanks! :D

Cute little platformer, controls felt a little fast, but overall they feel pretty well. Level design was also pretty fun, though I feel like I just randomly stumbled upon the right path. Needs a little more polish, of course, but not a bad start for a 48 h jam!
I enjoyed the main mechanic (and feeding my rat, of course). So many blind jumps though!
I like the exploration of damage boosting from Mario as a game! Would definitely have liked a longer level.
Took me a second to realise that small = bigger jump, but it was fun to play once I understood the scale changes. Also the last gauntlet was tough but fun :)
I liked the size increase/decrease mechanics, and how to made use of it for the platforming.
One thing that frustrated me, however, was the lava spawn/last checkpoint reseting, which I think was a bug and not intended. However, I was able to get to the end.
If you polish those things and tight the controls a bit more, with time, after the jam, and maybe add more levels to explore the mechanic it could be a nice platformer.
A bit hard at the first tries but when you get the hang of it its pretty fun :)
CHUNKY RAT. LOL. I really liked how you can use the fat mechanics to your advantage. I thought crossing the lava part would be impossible, but being able to use the cheese to get around that was smart. Good work!
