Wow, this seemed like a simple concept but it gained depth very quickly! Great job on finding a way to make this concept work. Its a very relaxing game and the code for the game is very solid!
As soon as the constraints turned up I was very impressed, nice job! I wonder which play tester found it hard enough to warrant the stars when you get things right though, I am happy they were there as I was struggling with some of the connected ones. Whoever added those stars, good job!
I think this was very creative! Constraining objects between each other was definitely an interesting mechanic! The particles for being right and going too far were very useful. The color palette for this game was interesting, the objects were fun in that sense. Nice game! <3
Neat idea! It has a simple mechanic but it resulted in some surprisingly interesting puzzles. I liked the little particles when you get the sizes right. Good work on this!
A really nice puzzle game, I think the only criticism is that changing the scale can be a bit tricky when the object is moving around!
Very fun, it's crazy you put all this together in just four days! My only complaint is that while the objects floating around looks very good, it can make it frustrating to micro-adjust the sliders.
The Puzzle aspect is being showcased perfectly (i couldn't even beat the 4th level :C). Good game.
Bongle is a delightful and deceptively challenging puzzle game. The relaxing music and colorful visuals set a calm and inviting tone, making it a pleasure to play. The controls are tight and responsive, which is crucial given the game's unique mechanic.
What starts as a simple premise—scaling objects to match sizes—quickly becomes more complex as you realize you can only scale objects on one axis at a time, and must bond them to others to get the right dimensions. It’s a clever twist that keeps you thinking and engaged throughout.
Overall, Bongle offers a satisfying puzzle experience that’s both relaxing and mentally stimulating. Great job!
Very elegant and polished entry! Didn't expect it to get so difficult. In the games with the multiple items there are even several ways to beat them :) Fun to play
Interesting puzzle game! I did like the mechanics, however I think maybe 15 levels are a bit too much for game jams? -that's me personally though. It was a good game even though I didn't play more than 5 levels.
The only thing I'm afraid of is if I missed out on mechanics due to there being so many levels. I will be honest and say, the mechanics were well made, but I can only play so many puzzle levels for a day (not my favourite type genre)
The art is cool and the mechanic of the puzzles are fun to play with!
Love how the game was able to add interesting complexities to a simple scaling concept! Also enjoyed the complementing art style and background music
My impression after the first couple levels was that it would be a pretty simple and straightforward game but the game quickly increased in complexity with very interesting mechanics. Great work!
Man, the complexity ramped up quickly, but in a good way!
This is an excellent puzzle game! I loved it!
