How does your game fit the theme?
You can get bigger to be able to push objects around and find hidden canisters, and you can be smaller if you want to be better at sneaking away from the guards!

96 hours

I love your take on the theme! At the start I was a bit confused as you do have text on screen explaining inflation and deflation, but not what buttons to press. When I figured that out though it's always fun to mess about with some physics and cause mayhem. Well done!

Hello! This is my first jam, I was so stressed out about not submitting this game on time that I added the tutorial texts at the last second, thus the errors. Still, thank you for playing my game!

I really enjoyed the main character and the overall atmosphere. I had a great time exploring through the two levels.

That was a fun experience. I love the theme interpretation, and the silly music/atmosphere. If you're up for it check out my atmospheric, voice acted game Pothos Fate :)

Hey! There should be hints at the game's description, I wrote a lot of stuff in there so it's easy to miss. Thanks for playing!

Really nice stealth game, interesting take on the theme. Nice sound effects and a very cool menu. Awesome job, keep up the good work!

Glad to hear! Thank you for playing!

Great style and very nice looking menu.

Had a fairly big problem with the controls on the web version: pressing ctrl alongside another key (such as W) will cause unexpected results which impact the game, such as closing the tab, saving or bookmarking. Would recommend just allowing users to download the windows version instead if you plan on using these controls.

Otherwise the idea is fun and well executed.

Oof, I haven't noticed that because of my browser settings, thanks for pointing that out. Do you think I can (or should) delete the browser version so people can download the windows one? I don't know if it's allowed or not since the submission phase has started

RPickardSubmitted123 days ago(+1)

Not sure, maybe just a clear message on the submission page saying to download the windows version instead?

RockeebbDeveloper123 days ago

Yup, updated the description of the game. Thanks for the heads up!

Ice_9Submitted123 days ago

Nice idea. I was able to find one of the hidden objects, but not more than that. Not sure if I was missing something though.

It was a bit unclear what discovered me when I was seen - I think the camera angle and controls made it more difficult. Did you try it with the camera following the player?

Hey! This is my first jam, so the dedection code could have some jank in them :') And I completely agree that the game should have a camera follow option, I just wasn't able to add it on time haha. Thanks for playing!

Cool. Congrats on your first jam!
