Very charming game!

A really nice and relaxing game. The platforming mechanics and the art effects are really good.

Best of luck :D

Also, It will be a pleasure if you play and rate my game as well. :)

Developer

Thanks, of course we will play your Game👍

This is a fun platformer, but the first level is by FAR the hardest part.  I'm not sure if it's the intended route, but the only way I could find off the first platform is to fake jump to drop the item below, then I could squeeze down, get it again, and then I got stuck where the snail is in the picture... eventually I got out!  Each of the next few levels took me seconds to get through, but I feel like this first one needs some tweaking.  It seems like it's trying to teach the jump, but the wall in the middle seems too high. 

Excellent job!

Developer

Interesting approach, I like it. Our colliders were made automatically so there are a few spots with awkard collisions. Thanks for putting the effort for this, it will definently be noted for future level designs!

Developer

Ok

That was fun! The physics are a bit janky, but the main mechanic is fun to use. The walking sound not stopping at the end of levels is unfortunate. The character art is charming! All-in-all, good work!

Ok thx

A really cool idea! Had fun with it, though I had to turn the sound off because sounds kept playing over and over and I'm not sure why ^^;

Developer

Ok thanks, Ok

Fun idea and a nice platformer. Certainly fits the theme. I can see where this concept could be expanded into things like parts of the puzzle that can only be accessed when the snail is of a certain size. Or, certain items being heavier or lighter to use for jumps. Nice job.

Cool concept! Idea to connect jump, scale and collectables are interesting! Levels are nice and plays more like a mix of platformer and puzzle.

There are some things to mention:
- inconsistent pixel art is not looks good
- you can bash walls while in air, it maybe problem with collision or movement controller
- it seems like collider boxes are too big or something... like when you trying to squeeze yourself between platforms a snail stucks in mid-air 

But overall a good platformer. It plays nicely, have enough levels to feel the mechanic and looks like a good entry for this jam! Stop by to check our game, too!

Ok

I've a sudden urge for mint choco chips icecream after playing this game ha. Good artwork and the gameplay is creative. Great effort. 

Developer

Thanks👍

Good graphics, I love the core mechanism of jumping by ejecting mass. I wish the changing size of the snail was exploited more for level design. I would be interested to reach a certain point where you have to eject mass to fit through, etc. I think the gameplay is really solid though. Left me wishing there were more levels to play! Nice work!

LOVE the snail!

Pretty good game needs more polishe in few parts of it.

Submitted(+2)

has some potential! still a bit rough around the edges, but overall neat

Cool idea to have jumping as a resource, makes for some interesting gameplay. Nice work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you I wish you enjoyed playing our game

Submitted(+3)

Nice job, but I didn't realize a size change of the character. Read about that mechanic afterwards here on the page.
Maybe make the growing/shrinking part bigger in a future approach.

Nonetheless I played through the whole game, so it's all in all a good entry.

Developer(+1)

Ok, Thanks for the suggestion

Submitted(+3)

Pretty satisfying for a simple mechanic, would have liked more levels. Nice job!

Don't know if the bubble popping sound is supposed to happen as much as it is, but it's definitely too much.

Cool snail boiiii
Some of the jumps felt weirdly restricted, like I wasn't able to move left/right? Maybe that's intentional - I am not a strong platformer lol

Developer

Thanks, yeah i know but soon we will solve this problem
