How does your game fit the theme?
Our idea to match the theme was to create interactions between a massive player (the Colossus) and a tiny player to solve puzzles and clear levels.

I love the idea. One of the more original games in this jam. Well done!
Thanks! That's a huge compliment. :)
You managed to squeeze a fair amount of character into this little game. Nice job!
Thanks, that means a lot for our first game. :)
That was a cool idea... But it would also be fun as multiplayer!!
Streamed Today!!
Woah, 11 hour stream, awesome!
Sorry about the scroll wheel, we had accessibility options planned for full keyboard control but only got partially there. You can move the hand(s) with WASD and use Q and E to select the hand. No button yet for the scroll wheel, other than using a controller.
We would love to add multiplayer in a future version, time was too short to experiment with multiplayer for too long.
Thanks for playing!
Very fun to play, completed the whole game! Good tutorials and UI is great, very polished for a jam game. Also I like the take on the theme. Also the movement for the small-scale character is fun to handle, for the big one is a little slow at the beginning but I think it fits with the whole idea of scale. Very cool game.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for completing the whole game! 😊 We heard its a bit on the long side for a jam game, so that means a lot :D
I had a lot of fun playing! The tutorials were detailed and helped me get into the game easily. It would have been nice to have an object in the scene to indicate where the tutorials appear. The checkpoint system was great! It made playing stress-free.
As a player, the movement is very fast and it was fun just to move around. I wish the air controls were freer.
The collision judgment for the Colossus hand worked perfectly, which made me think it was a well polished game. I wish there was a keymapping for quick hand movements, maybe Shift + wheel?
I liked the variety of levels and new gimmicks, and I thought it was clever to use coins to drive the player's behavior. I think it would be even more fun to invite a friend to play two-player!
Thanks for the in-depth review!
Many of the things you mentioned were on our todo list but unfortunately we ran out of time. Hopefully we can add them after the voting period ends in a new build.
Adding a "sprint" for the hands is indeed a good idea, we meant for the Colossus to move pretty slowly but it ended up slower than we intended.
Either way, really glad you liked it!
Superb and so creative, such an amazing concept
Thank you!! Glad you liked it ❤️
Great use of the theme! Loved having the different perspectives help make it easier to find certain items!
Thank you!! Glad you liked the game! 😊
Really fun concept!
I think more fluid/dynamic switching between the two character would really make this excel.
Thanks for the feedback! 😄
I love the game and the very creative idea behind it! Try it out its fun! (also love the walking animation)
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😄
The colossus' control scheme slows down the pacing a bit and the tutorial prompts disappeared to fast for me to read, but the idea and game mechanics are great, the first person gamefeel is nice, and the game is overall quite polished, with even some secret areas to discover. Well done! ;)
Thank you for the feedback! I definitely agree, we wanted to add sensitivity options but ran out of time unfortunately. And after watching some people play we noticed they are missing some of the tutorial prompts. 🙈 But I'm glad you liked it overall. 😄
I really like this entry! I appreciate the controller support and the adaptive buttons in the tutorial prompts are a fantastic piece of polish! This feels pretty lengthy for a jam game, and the colossus has a few more uses than I was expecting going in, awesome job! This would make a great co-op game!
A quick piece of feedback I think would be easy to implement is I'd probably move the tutorial prompts to the bottom of the screen instead of exactly center screen.
Awesome work!
Hey thank you, happy that you liked it! And thanks for the feedback! Its our first jam game and while making it we were afraid that the game will have too little levels :D But after playing some other jam games i think you're right, we definitely ended up with one of the lengthier games. 😅 Gonna keep that in mind on the next one.
Awersome concept. Very creative. We loved the visual style and the game feel! Awesome job!
Thank you! Very glad that you liked it! 😊
Super cool concept. The hands were a little slow to control, low sensitivity or something maybe, but that may have just been a me thing. Really enjoyed the character swap mechanic. Congrats and good luck!
Thanks!! 😊 Yeah, you're right. The mouse sensitivity option slider was the next thing on our todo, but we didn't manage to do it in time. Surely that would have been helpful for a lot of people. 🙈 But very happy that you enjoyed it!
Fun game! Very creative, my favorite part was smashing big walls of boxes. If you were to expand on this idea I would have more stuff like that!
Thank you! Very glad you enjoyed it! 😄
Great game and awesome concept !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :D
The concept of controlling the big hands to help the little guy is ingenious. I think it fits the theme very well. The control of the big hands is for me a bit difficult, maybe my eye-hand coordination is not that good.
Thank you!! Haha, yes, its a challenge to get the
guy-handeye-hand coordination down :DNice mechanics and style, would love to see a Virtual Reality version!
Would be very grateful if you tried our game
Thanks! Yes! While developing we also said that it would be fit very nicely for a VR game :D
Interesting concept. It took my a while though to figure out I can move as the big guy as well, not just move my hands
Thanks for the feedback! I agree, its a lot at once thats going on as soon as you get the giant 😅
Such an awesome game and concept!
Also really love the visual style!
Thank you! :D Glad you liked it!
Really cool game :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :D
