Get presentation! Smooth controls. Simple platforming elements. 👍

Submitted

Loved the concept and the presentation!

Submitted

I definitely enjoy the vibes here. Unfortunately clarity of platforming isn't that clear, especially in that first level. And I really don't see why dashes should be limited. Still, there's something to the shrinking and growing here that I think could make for some compelling puzzles if expanded on.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for the feedback! Part of the lack of clarity is intentional to make for more difficult puzzles and use of the hint system, however I definitely agree with you and I would've made a small tutorial in that level if I had more time. 

Submitted

I have no clue how to reach the key on the fridge :D

Very chill and enjoyable game otherwise!

Developer

Haha maybe the jump across to the oven would be possible if you were scaled up...

Submitted

I can get to the oven no problem. But I still can't reach the key on the fridge, I see no way to climb on it :)

Developer (1 edit)

Toaster -> Knives -> Top of flower -> Top of fridge, that path can definitely be tricky to figure out haha

Submitted

From the screenshots, the game looks really beautiful and well-made. Unfortunately, we couldn’t run the WebGL build, but it’s probably something on our end. Nevertheless, great job!

Developer

Aw man that sucks, it has worked for me and everyone else who has played so it could be a connection issue possibly?

Tried it on another computer and it worked! I guess our laptop from which we were commenting is a little too old 😅. Really nice job—the visuals are beautiful, and the music really draws you in. Keep up the good work!

Submitted

I like the style and the vibe, but found the control difficult. Maybe something to improve after the jam :)

Developer

I totally agree, that + more levels are 2 things that I wish I could've had time to improve / expand upon, but I will definitely improve that after the rating is over. Thank you for the feedback!

Submitted

Pretty nice and a pleasure to play

Submitted

I liked the layout for the levels! It made me feel like I was in an escape room. The controls were a little confusing at the start but I got there eventually haha. Nice job! 

Submitted

I really liked the art and core gameplay. I'd love to see it developed further

Submitted

Great game, love the aesthetics and the level design is great as well! It took me a little time to fully understand the controls because I didn't read the description at first, but then the levels became satisfaying to solve!

Thank you for the feedback! Originally the first level was meant to be a tutorial but I ran out of time, so it for sure was unclear, but I’m glad you stuck around and learned it though!

Submitted

Very polished and good looking, also plays pretty good. Nice job!

Submitted

Loved this game, loved the level design !

Submitted (1 edit)

The level design is great! I'm a little bit confuse about the control until i tried out the first time by randomly pressed the button. Wish there are more levels. Great work!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you! Yea I should’ve made a tutorial, but I’m glad you got everything figured out

Submitted

I just wish there were more levels.

Developer(+1)

The goal was to add more but you know how time management can get during these lol, thank you for playing

Submitted

Looks cool, sadly I didn't understand how to use the scale & shrink Objects (neither F nor left click worked)

Developer (2 edits)

Thank you for playing! You need to run over the pads in order to apply the scale, myb I definitely should’ve been more clear with that

Submitted

I took a couple of attempts and got my score down. The timer adds some good replay value.
I spent a while trying to get in the bathtub lol.

Level 1: 16 seconds
Level 2: 25 seconds

Developer

Haha great times and you can get in the bathtub but it’s super hard, my best for level 2 is 14.8 seconds 💪 

Submitted

the environment looks nice

Submitted

pretty fun for how scale is used to maneuver the environment!

Submitted

Very cool!

Submitted

Nice job!
