How does your game fit the theme?
You are shrinking as you move and jump. You need to manage your size throughout the game. If you shrink too much you'll die.

I might have just skill issue lmao but kinda fun and silly!
Very silly and cute! The art and music fit the vibe really well, and I like that the "scaling" is a bit inverse as you don't want to shrink! But I struggled a lot with the physics--making a shadow or something under the ball to help the player know where they're landing would be really helpful given how crazy and variable the jumps seem to be! Great job overall, though:)
the physics are a bit hard to handle but that makes it so much more fun
Not sure if it was intentional but I had a lot of fun with the jump getting higher and higher every time you jump right as you hit the ground. I had some issues with falling through the ground if I was going to fast though. Had a lot of fun!
To be honest, I didn’t understand why the jump height is always different. Like did it depend on the charge? But maybe it just seemed to me
Anyway it was a lot of fun! My record is 15.6 seconds!
I liked the Ball-Boi. The movement feels very strange though and sometimes is buggy but the fact that I could jump from the start island straight to the end island made me laugh so it's all okay :)
Solid idea, but the controls do feel a little weird, especially the jump.
Fun and simple idea. I'd love the jump to have adjustable height depending on how much time you hold the jump button. Good job though!
The idea is cool and fun to move around, however the jump seems slightly broken as you can skip most of the stage with it, but it was quite enjoyable to play.
I love that you designed the level so I can use my big jumps to skip sections, really nice putting the trees at spawn for that stuff.
Yes, that was definitely my intention haha. I had no idea about the broken jump until I tried the game on my gf's low-end laptop after the deadline. I guess at least the game is speedrun friendly haha
