The level designing was quite good. Although the grab and drop is still pretty glitchy. I enjoyed the puzzles anyway! Good job.
We are planning on further development of this game after the jam, so lots more polishing! Thank you for playing our game, and we appreciate the kind words!
Really cool concept!
Thank you! We appreciate it!
It is fun to realize how to start the game and I don't expect that it is a first-person-perspective game. Cool game and exciting music.
But as soon as I start the game, I forget the control keys, so it's better to have semi-transparent key hints. And it seems that objects can pass through the table in the first level.
I am glad you enjoyed the game, thank you for the positive feedback and some points noted. In the future (after the jam) you will most likely encounter the controls listed in a pause menu! Thank you for playing and goodluck!
Very fun game! this is the most literal implementation of the theme and quite well executed! excellent
Thank you for the kind words! We are glad you enjoyed it!
I love puzzle games, and this one really fits the bill for me! It took me some time to get a hang of the controls, but post that it was really fun. Got all the way to the office before I had to put it down, but I'm going to pick this up back to finish the rest of it : )

I am glad that the game fits your puzzler's desires, I do wish for you to complete the game till the temporary end level, do post a screenshot and update us on your progress :)
We are still working on some bugs, hopefully after the jam or a bit later we will release a better version with hopefully more levels.
Enjoyed the art style and the concept of the game. The controls took a bit to get used to, and I couldn't get through the first room without reading the hints in the description. In the 2nd room I dropped the key into the floor and couldn't find it again, had to restart the game a couple times. Overall I really enjoyed what you have going here. Congrats and good luck!
We meant for it to be a challenge! So it isnt a quick five minute game :). The key clipping and other bugs are being worked on, they will be polished and more things will be added after the jam. Thank you very much for your kind comment. I am glad that you enjoyed our game, thank you for playing!
Got a hard time understanding the controls in the first level, but after that it was pretty fun ! The keys can fall off the map if you drop right in front of the door in the second level.
Thank you for the comment, we are glad that you enjoyed the game, the main key usages are "Q", "E" and "F" along side "WASD" movement, other keys listed are non-important.
As I write this comment, we are fixing the issue of the keys falling beneath the door, and or clipping through the door. :)
Neat game, the frantic feel of the music makes it feel even more fun. Would love to see more levels!
Thank you for the feedback! We appreciate your kind words. We will definitely look into continuing the production of this game, and improving, expanding and polishing it further. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Really like the art in this game. I would suggest that the puzzles have more to do with changing the size (right now it's just find the item, maybe change your size to get it, adjust the item size and insert it somewhere). Also an interaction popup would be useful, so you know which objects are pickable and which are in you range. Otherwise that's a solid game.
PS modify the embed size, so that unity's fullscreen button is visible and hide the itch.ios one. Right now it doesn't work.
We appreciate your comment and your constructive feedback.
Regarding the puzzles, we will look into adding more rooms, with more of a variety when it comes to the scaling aspect of things. We were limited on time which caused us to make limited levels with limited little passing mechanics.
When it comes to an interaction pop up, we were thinking of having an (glowing?) outline of the object that you are looking at that you can pick up. We might add it as an additional help option, alongside hints in the coming updates after the jam.
The embed size will be changed accordingly too.
Overall all, thank you for the points, unfortunately a lot of this game was on a major crunch time.
When I first started, it was a little difficult to understand the gameplay and controls, but overall I liked the idea of the game. Good job.
Thank you for your nice feedback. There are some known issues with the start - we plan to fix them after the Jam. Also a ingame UI is planned to help to guide the player.
The only game that made me have fun without actually playing the game, but some puzzles might be frustrating and you can drop from the map standing under any thing. Anyways it was a really cool experience and cool play on the theme
Thank you for the nice words :)
Clipping out of the map is a known bug and through a last minute fix we couldn’t provide the be we version. But we plan to continuing the work after the Jam.
the version I played might be bugged because I couldn't click the start button (I moved the button on the correct position but it didn't do anything). Also I'm confused on why you used the F button to interact instead of the left click, and Q and E to scale instead of the mouse wheel
There are a few known issues, we have jotted them down at the bottom of our itch.io page. Those are something we weren't able to handle in time with the submission.
When it comes to the menu, please make sure that you have picked up ("F" key, while hovering over the item) the 'start' button, which is the gray geometry at the bottom left of the title's box on the screen. Then you should move it over the text where it says "Something seems to be missing here..." and shake it a bit. It should just plop in place to where you are able to click it and start the game.
About the keys we used, we chose the "F" key as it is very common 'interact' key in games where right or left click is occupied by other tasks, or if it is a more of a keyboard play style game. When it came to scaling sizes, the speed of scaling is set to a fixed variable, where using a scroll wheel will make the feeling of scaling bigger or smaller off, you will either scroll too fast or too slow where it wont match your scaling speed; so "Q" and "E" were decided to be applicable for our use, a plus of it being close to WASD, which are common for movement, and in our case used for that.
Please do let me know if there are any inquiries. I am happy to help. :)
How was I expected to understand I was supposed to shake it? I tried picking it up, scaling, releasing, moving it over the other buttons but nothing worked. Maybe a "hint" button could have helped
I will agree with the fact that we did need some sort of UI with a button or on the HUD when it came to hints, we wouldn't be able to make the submission time if we resorted to making that work. So unfortunately it had to remain as it was, without any additional UI besides the menu. And even the menu after the build was made and pushed had an issue in it. So I do 100% agree with you that hints were meant to be put inside the game more obvious, we will for sure add it if development of this game progresses. As per the shaking part, that is only so it catches the point where it snaps into place, due to a rushed 2nd and final build, and changing anchor points in the menu, it messed with the positioning of the catch point, so the shaking is the best way to find the catch point to a naked eye.
My apologies if you found frustration in starting the game, I really hoped you would've enjoyed the game play!
clean, cartoony artstyle and nice environments to explore! the growing/shrinking mechanic lends itself to some fun exploration and puzzle solving. i had some small issues with items clipping through doors, but considering the length of the jam that is to be expected (hey, our game has it too). i love escape room style things like this, and this one is worth a try!
We really appreciate the kind words! Thank you for the feedback, yeah the clipping issues are something that has been put towards polishing which we couldn't handle in time. However, we are glad you liked the game! Thank you for playing :)
This reminds me a lot of Superliminal, which fits the theme amzingly well. Well done!
Thank you for the comment and the kind words! We appreciate it :)
Honestly the inspiration and somewhat basis of what we thought of, proud of my team to manage doing it as button presses and getting them to fit in the game, I wouldn't imagine how difficult it would be in the way Superliminal does it.
O don't get it, but the music is nice.
Let me know if you need some assistance in the game, there are also hints below in the description!
This is very cool - I enjoyed playing it a lot!
The 3D models look really nice, the music is a banger with its whimsical vibe and the puzzles are interesting to solve!
The fact you have to fix the Play button in order to play is also really clever since it acts as a good tutorial for the game :D
Really good job!
Thank you very much for the wonderful words, we appreciate your comments on the aspects of the game you liked! Thank you for playing.
Glad to see that the concept as a tutorial came to mind, it was technically intended to give people that "tutorial but not really" sort of thing, appreciate your kind words.
Great game, I enjoyed playing it! (hints were very useful).
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate the kind words, I am glad the hints were useful!
love the start menu, really creative idea (reminds me of my own game).
the music was also pretty nice!
it took me a long time to finish the first level though, felt a bit frustrating so maybe a hint option would have been good?
either way very cool mechanic and nicely made for a game jam game!
Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate your feedback on the game.
There were hints in the description of our itch page. However, we didn't have enough time to implement anything into the game itself when it comes to tips/hints. But I am still glad you have made it past that level and the rest as well!
Thank you for playing!
yeah, it's always hard to get all the bonus features in during the jam, no problem with not having hints. it was still a fun challenge!
Thank you for the encouraging words :D
I hope others enjoy the game just as you did!
Very cool experience. A nice innovative touch on the classic escape game genre.
Makes me want to explore other environments with this mechanics!
We appreciate the kind words. :D
Will look into improving things after the jam, polishing it a bit more and maybe more levels!
