Ayy nice concept! it would've been a better game if it had more levels, but it's still enjoyable!

Love poopin

eheh

poop

Also that death is SO VIOLENT DAMN

Really cute game overall, liked playing it! :D

Developer(+1)

Yeah I should have made more levels for sure, just didn't have much time. 

Hehe poop 

Thanks a lot for playing! Glad you liked it!

Cute little game! I like how each "stage" had a different ability, though I would have love to explore the different mechanics more. Nice job! 

Developer(+1)

I had plans on making more levels, but just didn't have time! Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!

The bird sprite is lovely! I do wish I could see it bigger tho!

Also 10/10 poop mechanic, I am sure I would also have trouble flying under the same circumstances

All in all nice entry!

Developer


Is this big enough? I had trouble with scalling in the game this is why it doesn't look too good :(, but I fixed it yesterday I think?
Imagine jumping after eating 3 apples.
Thanks a lot for playing!

haha that was fun  to jump and poop around ; that bird's health should be checked though, i don't think he should be pooping from the back of his head like that ^^ well done !

Developer(+1)

You should have seen when the collision box of the bird was a rectangle, the poop just stayed on his head :D! Thanks for playing!

Very cute and fun game! I like to poop :D

Developer

Everyone likes to poop :D ! Thanks for playing!

This is a really cool concept and quite good for a first game! The various abilities/limitations of the sizes give a lot of potential for cool level design.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! And thank you for playing! I'm going to do some new levels that I have drawn, will update after the voting ends!

Submitted(+1)

Good work for your first project. It was hilariously mean to say "press shift to dash" right before a spike trap, killing me instantly! Good luck for any future projects

Developer

I'm glad someone finally fell for that(sorry it had to be you)! It's just so you can hear the "pop" sound hehe. Thanks a lot for playing! 

Submitted(+1)

It was very cute and fun. I found it interesting how you linked jumping with growth. It seems to have a lot of potential!

Developer

When the jams finish, I'll try and update it with more levels instead of having just one! Thank you for playing!

It's a great start for your first jam! Also, cool interpretation of the theme too.

Developer

Was really fun making it, I had in plans to create more levels, but just didn't have time, and got stuck with just the intro level. Thanks for playing!

Concrats.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing!

Interesting and funny idea! Like the theme :D

Developer

Thank you for playing!

A very interesting platformer idea, and I love the design of the bird! Would love to see more levels built around this great mechanic of three different scales with different toolsets

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! Since I had 3 levels drawn that I didn't have time to implement, I'll be updating it when the voting ends! Also gotta work on UI, or add some UI elements :D

Great idea on  scaling up and down the player

Developer

Thank you for playing!

(+1)

I like the game's scaling system and art. However, increasing the number of lives or implementing a checkpoint system would significantly enhance the player experience. Thank you for the work.

Developer

Yeah I had these in my to-do list, also had a UI that I completely forgot to add that shows how much health you have, and how many apples you've eaten! Also had a fun a mechanic where if you eat the 4th apple after eating 3, you pop and die because you've eaten too much, hence the pop sound when you die from spike or falling. Will update it when the voting ends. Thank you for playing!

its definitely better than my first game, controls are weird but hey this is a finished game either way! congrats :)

Developer

I've only started this hobby 3 month ago, so I can only improve (I hope) from here on out! Thanks for playing!

Interesting concept, but very barebones tutorial level.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I know it's very barebones, I had plans of making 3 levels, this was the introduction level, but just didn't have time since weekend I wasn't home. 

Will finish the game as I have planed once the voting ends!
