WOW. I was not expecting this. Easily the? most creative submission I've seen. Took me a while to figure out what it was about but as soon as I understood what was going on I loved it. The beautiful level music really sells the vibes for me. Would LOVE to see a full version of this game with the same quality of artwork. Genuinely, please don't waste this idea it is amazing! It's just a shame that this one hasn't caught the eyes of many people.
Thank you. I am moderately happy with my main character and bits and pieces elsewhere, but I'm not very good at art, so I'd probably have to hire an artist to help out if I would be turning it into a bigger game.
This game is actually impressive. You definitely work more on this game and release on Steam! There is so much potention on the idea.
Thank you for the encouragement! I probably would need a bit more ideas and features to make more levels with if I would be turning it into a paid release.
I have seen a few other entries using a scaling window as part of the main mechanic but this feels like it was actually meant to be. Using the different paints to scale objects by changing your field of view is really unique and I had a great time solving how to progress through each level! The one thing that I wish could be added is maybe a small arrow that points towards the objective that way I have some semblance of which direction i need to go. I may have scaled a few things beyond reason to travel way off in the wrong direction once or twice haha
Thank you for the feedback. The way point was something that briefly crossed my mind whilst developing but I forgot to implement it for some reason. I'm glad you enjoyed the levels though, since I was really struggling with puzzle design.
This game is actually amazing. Would like it to be expanded further.
Thank you. I might consider some small additions after the jam, but probably nothing major.
Very cool and unique mechanic, it was confusing to figure out what the paints do though. Red and Blue are pretty easy to understand, white had me confused for a bit and green i have no clue. I think your game would benefit a lot if each colour had a small and easy level just to figure out what they do
Thank you for the feedback. I was worried on the later colors, especially yellow and green since their function actually completely changed from what I originally intended. I should've added a tutorial section and maybe easier 1st levels for those colors definitely.
This game is sick, and the levels just keep going! Love all the mechanics, would have been awesome if the game window was hosted inside another window so you can play in full screen, although this might have to do with my monitor resolution
Hi, sorry for my late reply.
Thank you for the kind feedback. I really rushed with the options so it's possible the game won't scale past 16:10 aspect ratio. It is something that I'd probably need to check more carefully in the future.
Woah, this game is so cool! I wish you had more time to finish, it's such a cool idea! I think one small thing that could help new users learn quickly is if you matches the paint colors with the window min/max border sizes.
Hi. Sorry for my late reply.
Thank you for the kind words. Now I'm kicking myself for not realizing that window guide coloring myself. It would've been such an obvious nice extra detail to add.
this is INCREDIBLY COOL i love this idea so much. using window scaling is so peak, this game is so peak!!!
I apologize for my late reply, but thank you very very much for the kind words.
