lots of nice juice makes for a very polished experience, though i do think the sound effects are a bit quiet in comparison to the music. a surprising number of levels too considering they're quite well designed. bonus points for getting itch to call it a gnome game

Really liked how well designed the levels felt, the way you introduced new mechanics and grew the complexity of puzzles slowly throughout the game. I do think the character controller felt a bit floaty and was a bit difficult to get used to at first. Also I should add, visually you did great! Love the use of the 2D lighting!
I like the game, music, etc has a lot of polish and i love that. Well done :). If you have some free time please rate and look at our submission. :)
The concept is simple. I was rather unimpressed at first, BUT you elaborated a very clever level design with varied traps without introducing too many different rules.
Nicely done!
The movement was... not the kind I like.
The game was beautiful but had a little too much particles for me (transformation).
I would have liked to have checkpoints to not have to restart the levels every time I died.
I loved it. <3
The movement controls and graphics are amazing, I really liked this game!!
it has some nice polish and a decent amount of levels, but it's not the most finessed platformer, and that saps a lot of the potential enjoyment out of it. it's missing the essentials like coyote time and land buffering, the level design isn't the most inspired, and the jump physics are very floaty and odd. for encultured players, it's difficult not to notice how these dramatically affect the game feel. the main mechanic isn't the most original take on the theme, either. that said, it does have some nice blooming visuals and a fairly extensive tutorial, which reminds me of old flash games in a way. still, it's an impressive endeavour for 96 hours and not the worst game by any means.
It makes me angry just like I wanna be the guy. It was challenging. Playe dit all the way through.
Good game for good guys.
I've seen a lot of games so far that have done the "platformer with character that grows/shrinks" concept, but this one does it really well. The game "juice" also added a lot to the experience. Nice job!
I really liked how the art for the miner changed when changing size. I know it would have been quicker to just scale it, but your game is better for it.
I like this game. I think with some fine tuning it could be really great. The Jump felt just a little too floaty and the timing on some levels a little too unforgiving. Also I think it would be better if the change key was left click or something where I didn't need to take my fingers off WASD, especially for those tight platforming sections.
Overall a great game jam game, good job
an interesting game that i wish i could play more! because of my skill level (or lack thereof) i wasn't able to make it past level three. the style and post-processing effects all made it enjoyable and polished.
