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 love that the bigger version of you is actually a different sprite, that’s a really nice touch

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

A really fun game, but I'm not skilled enough to finish it haha

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.

A bit tough, but I loved the visuals. Great work!

Agreed, all the particles made my many deaths easy to bear. Love the miners head lamp too.

Submitted

The polish is sublime with the particles.

On a downside, common application of the theme of the jam

Good job!

I love how you can essentially fly as a gnome, you're so floaty AND can double-jump. There were a few interesting puzzles in there, mostly platforming. Great job!

Submitted

Good in general :)

I’m so bad at these games, but I still felt engaged enough to keep going. Loved your work!

It's a high quality platformer game over here. even when it's hard, and you die a lot, the smoothness and dynamic controls, makes you want to try it again and again. The visuals are on high level too, outstanding artstyle and visuals.

P.S. Like if you also tried to mine the diamonds at the beginning. Terraria fans will understand.

I really like the miner getting bigger and the pixel art getting more detailed. Overall, the game looks really nice. I didn't like the timer though, it made me feel like I had to constantly rush through.

Submitted

Very enjoyable game. It's nice that you utilized the transform mechanic in many creative ways. The art style is wonderful with all those lights. I think adding the timer was not the best choice since it gives unnecessary anxiety in an already not so easy game and blocks the view on top of the screen.
