I know working on 3d is so hard within a given time so congratulations for getting an entire game done in such a short space. It ended out incredible. Mmmmmm cheese. Sometimes audio was loud but I still had fun :)

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience. If you have the time, would you be so kind as to tell me what your specific issue was? Framerate? Controls? Physics errors? Missing mechanics? We'd love to have an opportunity to address those issues in a later build.
I'm glad you liked the artwork though! You can thank our art director Nicholas Roberts for the character design. He's an incredible artist. https://nickroberts.art/work
Every part of this game is very well-put together. The art, the music, the puzzles -- it all works together beautifully! Honestly, perhaps even more impressive still is how you were able to coordinate 15 people. That isn't easy to do for a 4-day project!

Quantum CargoThank you for playing! You are very kind. I must thank my team and a handful of good collaboration tools for this project. We used Gather.town as a virtual office space so we could work with each other at desks and coworking spaces. Everyone on the team is passionate and self-driven. Each one took so much ownership over the game.
One of the more interesting "mouse/rat" games! Love the interpretation of the theme. The music is amazing, artstyle is topnotch, puzzles are excellent. Like a combination of Portal, Stanley Parable, BotW/ToTK shrine puzzles.
Honestly what I loved the most was the dialogues! Some issues with overlapping but I kept wanting to play more so I could hear more of the dialogues! The script is very funny and clever and love the voice acting. The writing and even the Title sounds like a professionally written game. Wish there was more story.
This was delightful! Gorgeous art, nice music, story progression!
Gameplay mechanics are similar to those which we use in our submission, so it was interesting to see how different those games are :)
For example, I thought to take a cube with myself on level 3 in first area. But it just slept, it seems. When the large box resized the cube stayed inside of it. But sometimes it don't.
But overall it was a clean experience! Smooth controls. Art direction is a top notch!
But I wish I could to disable this shader. It made me a little dizzy 😵💫

Peni Scaleoooo, I really like the take on the theme and the way I felt I was getting stronger as I played.

LIMBO'S SCALEI can't see the beam vfx. There seems to be a bug in the beam sfx because I keep hearing it even if I wasn't shooting. On the bright side, I love the bgm, it was pretty nice to hear it even in loop. It was something that is nice in the ear. The puzzle is fun to solve. I'm having a similar vibe from Stanley Parable. Overall this is a good game. The theme is also on point. The big downside is, in my personal opinion, if you're making a game for game jam, do not use Unreal Engine, because people don't like to download the game and do those steps just to play your game. Also it could be potential malware.

NPC Blacksmith SimulatorLove the idea of being a lab rat being trained to use a ray gun to solve puzzles. The music evokes a sense of hope (in becoming more intelligent?) while the dialogues were a very fitting comedic addition!

Witch Scale??Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Our composer, Kelly Thiessen (TrashCatMusic) knocked it out of the park. https://www.trashcatmusic.com
the idea of using scale as a form of energy is a brilliant interpretation of the 'built to scale' theme. although there were a couple of minor issues with overlapping dialogue, the writing was clever, and the voice acting was superb! the concept of a lab rat undergoing trials and experiments was perfectly executed, and i absolutely love the title. using unreal engine for a game jam sounds like a daunting task, but your team did an outstanding job pulling it off!

ReScaleAmazing game! I love the idea of a rat making things bigger or smaller! The voices are also funny haha! The sounds are spot ON! I could not solve the third puzzle tho, I couldn't figure out what to do. I thought of throwing the dice but I couldn't make it land on the button on the other side. :( Maybe a button to reset sizes of objects so you can have more agency on how much energy you have as right now you have to guess the size of objects to regain energy! Also a way to make an object get closer or farther to the player could be great. I lovee the idea so much! It has the potential for a full fledged game to be honest!!! Great work!
