I love how you didn't just change the size of the player, but also the shapes!
thank you
Fun game! I wish the first level where the player had extra shapes to deal with only had one shape instead of two since I was still also getting used to the shape sizing mechanic at the right moments. I also pushed the boxes together on the second level so I had to reset it so maybe moving one of the boxes to the bottom level so the player can learn that the shapes do different stuff could help. Enjoyed the game though, fun mechanics and I enjoy a game where collecting stars is involved, I always strive for perfect 3 stars.
thank you so much for playing the game. I saw a lot of people get stuck on the second level. Maybe what you suggested was better. I will try to make some changes after the jam if i make a full version. Thanks again.
Interesting premise, I would love to easier levels at the begging just wo the player can grasp those first mechanics! Overall good play
thank you so much for playing my game
Really fun game I liked the concept very much :D Having the grow/shrink mechanic on the I and K felt a little strange. The puzzles were reasonably challenging and I had a good time playing, great job!
thank you so much for playing my game. I will try to make the controls selectable by player next time.
The idea is solid and I think the optional stars to collect are a great addition. The visuals and audio are great as well. I think the triangle needs to be able to do more than just context-sensitive interactions, though, since it is very rarely used compared to the other shapes. I also got softlocked on the third level by accidentally sending the lift up as I was getting off it, which forced me to restart. That aside, great work on making this by yourself in 48 hours!
thank you so much for playing my game. And yes the triangle needs some work and the lift mechanism was rushed i am not going to lie. Lot of polishing was left.
Very unique to have to continously switch forms to solve a puzzle using these 3 shapes!
thank you for playing my game
This game is a fun and clever 2D puzzle platformer, especially considering it was made in just 48 hours. The core mechanic of changing the size and shape of your character adds a good twist and in many places a big brainteaser. I got stuck in the second level for a good five minutes or so. Great job on this one!
thank you so much for playing my game. I was going to add 2 more levels but didn't have time during the jam.
I think the length of the game is reasonable for a jam :). I'm not saying I'm mad when I get stuck with some game for 20 minutes but there is much more to try.
Great job on the game! The concept is really cool, and the graphics and music are top-notch.
thank you so much for playing my game
Loved the concept! It was a nice touch adding the shapes as well!
thank you.
The graphics and music are really nice, so are the sound effects. Though I'm not gonna lie, I got stuck in level 2. I stacked the two blue squares together, and moved it to the right, and then I just couldn't jump high enough to climb it, I'm sure i'm missing somehting here.
thank you so much for playing my game. You did everything right, but the trick to jump higher is switching size from medium to small mid air. Hope it helps.
Very nice puzzler. Gets pretty difficult very quickly but that is much better than endless easy levels to introduce all functions and characters as seen in other games. Solid gaphics. Good work!
thank you so much for playing my game. I am happy that you liked it.
The game design is smart, congrats !
thank you
Cool game :)
This is a cool game, I like the shape changing mechanic in addition to the size! Puzzle games are hard to do on such a tight timeline but you have a really good start here!
I think one thing that would improve the game is a little bit of coyote time on the jump. I didn't get stuck long, but I found this jump in particular to be really tough. I was able to do it both by not changing size and changing size mid jump with some effort however.
Awesome job!
thank you ao much for playing my game. Another person has said it and i think you guys are absolutely right, coyote time would enhance and ease out the gameplay. I would definately try to implement it after the jam is over. Thanks again.
Interesting puzzles requiring each of the three shapes. Was a challenge to get all the stars!
thank you so much for playing my game. I hope you enjoyed it.
The scaling mixed with the different shapes meant you really had to think about what you need to do to proceed.
Some of the puzzles were pretty unclear what you had to do and I got the blue block stuck at the bottom of the last level :(
thank you so much for playing my game. Unfortunately there are a lot of improvements needed which i will try to fix after the jam.
Nice game! Took me a little while to get the hang of switching the scale often but I enjoyed it!
thank you so much for playing my game.
Was really excited by the concept but I got stuck on level 2, couldn't move the right box at all.
thank you for playing my game. Try moving the boxes one at a time, unless they are one above the other. You can even move boxes by being on top, and selecting square shape.
Yeah I wasn't touching multiple boxes, I was the square, but the right box just would NOT move.
i am so sorry to hear that, i guess it might be a new bug. I know i shouldnot ask you to but, did you try restarting the game?
Yeah, tried a couple of times, no luck. Although I only tried the in-browser version, so maybe the downloadable version might work better
yes the downloadable version is free from most bugs. The webgl build isnt perfect.
Your game is well made but it made me feel dumb, I couldn't get past level 2...
thank you so much for playing my game. And i'm sure you will suceed if you try again. A Hint can be found in the screenshots.
Cool game! There's quite a lot of content, especially for a game in the 48 hour category. Good job, this has potential!
thank you
