That was cute little game and I really enjoyed the rescaling mechanic!

Felt like a spatial version of Inception! Platforming felt a bit janky at times, and I fully could not figure out what to do on the city level. Part of the issue was I would spring out of a scale level from the top and wouldn’t be able to go back in. Super awesome idea though and I loved how the tiny pixel art would become the whole level when you went into it.

Cool game, it was fun exploring the mini models and figuring out how to go to the end!

It feels like Patrick's Parabox as a platformer, great job!

Surprisingly creative! I really like the idea of jumping into different scales and traveling further into the scale-o-verses as you go deeper. Great work!

LOVE the simple art style, it fits very well and the gameplay is GOOD!

Good level design and very creative gameplay. Last level was definitly the best. Congrats!

How do you come up with such clever levels and mechanics in just 4 days?! Really cool

awesome concept !!!

I love this game!  It fits the theme extremely well.  The revelation of how to clear the last level was nice.

Great level design, love the concept. For a confusing idea, the game communicated very well!

The minimap in the corner is really nice and I love how you have to use your momentum from smaller sizes to propel yourself up in the larger ones. Enjoyable and stylistic game! It would be nice to make the death reset a little bit shorter though so it's a touch faster to restart.

Awesome

I love the way each pixels becoming a new platform.

Cool game! Very simple, maybe you could add more mechanics since the gameplay gets a bit stale after 5 minutes.

Yeah, this is definitely an area where we wanted to do more but ran out of time. Out of curiousity, how far did you get?

I completed my game with a friend, it's called Mass Manipulation Mage , we had a problem with the movement though so we re coded it last second. It feels a bit rough, but overall I'm happy with it

I had meant to ask how far you made it into our game, but i'm glad you mentioned your game. Normally I try to play the game for anyone who plays our game. I couldn't get yours working though, since I'm on linux and it wasn't working with wine. If you have your friend add you as an admin  to the game, then anytime you review it will let people see your game. I think most people try to play games of anyone that reviews their game.

Yes I know that, but at the time i wasnt at my main pc so i didnt have our account, so i rated a few games with my personal account, but all other games with the account that we make games from!

Very creative gameplay and easy to catch! I also found sound design pretty nice, especially the jump pads.
