The gameplay and scaling are so smooth and really nice! I love the boost up mechanic I found the timing sometimes a little tricky but I enjoyed it quite a bit!
Love the animations, also don't know if this was intended or not but the state of the movable blocks are preserved through deaths, and that is a very appreciated feature
Smooth, fun to play, fits the theme - well done!
I liked the idea a lot and enjoyed how you explored it! I feel like you can do tons of puzzles with this specially if there's something that causes the square to change directions.
A really good one!
I was absolutely not prepared for the menu animations and transitions, they're great! The game feels very smooth and the visuals work together very well. I like the reaction-based games, and a mix of it with puzzle is a lot of fun :)
Super fun! Love the satisfying feeling when you get one just in time.
It can be a bit tricky to control the areas by hovering with the mouse but the sheer creativity makes up for it.
Solid concept and great execution! I love the way you can bounce the block when you scale up—so satisfying!
I adore this game! This is so well polished and really fun to figure out the path which there can be multiple in the same level! The only thing I found a little bit frustrating is the mechanic of hovering over scalable block to control it but that might just be severe skill issue. This is a fantastic submission I really liked it!
Thank you so much for playing!! I'm thrilled you tried to find multiple paths, another fun part of the game! Perhaps I might make the skill requirements a little more forgiving if I work on this game in the future then :) Thanks for giving it your best!
Really cool and fun game. Wish I could just toggle witch area i'm controlling but that is also because i am bad at mouse tracking
Thank you so much for playing! I definitely tried to ease the level progression to not make it too hard. Though I am glad that you were able to challenge yourself. A challenge is always fun :)
I struggle a bit getting used to the control, especially sinc emy keyboard doesn't handle wasd well.
The levels were fun and the art+music added a nice mood.
Congratz on finishing this jam :)
Thank you for playing! Oh no! I hope, your keyboard didn't detract your experience from the game. I set the Arrow keys to work as well, maybe that will work better for you.
Oh I missed that sorry, it is indeed better with the arrow!
Really cool game !! Fantastic minimalist visuals, very polished and nice idea. Congrats!!
Thank you so much! The minimalist style is definitely hiding and protecting my lack of artistic skills ahah
It took a little practice to get used to the controls. Pointing with the mouse and scaling the rectangles is hard at first, but the mechanic is cool. Also, the level and difficulty progression is perfect.
The only confusing part for me was the scaling boxes, partially in the ground. I thought there was a hole in the ground.
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you were able to get the hang of it! I appreciate the feedback. I will need to figure out a better and more appealing way to display the blocks and their borders. They can definitely be improved on!
Really enjoyed this one, the mechanic is simple to learn and cool to execute. The last level was a real challenge for me, i think i died at least 15 times lol
Good job :D
Thank you for playing! Simple and fun was the goal! I lost count of how many times I died trying to make that last level ahah
Cool idea and unique take on the theme. Good submission!!
Thank you so much! I am glad you liked it :)
Really cool movement concept, when you get a perfect execution it feels really nice. My only main complaint is that you sometimes really have to rely on respawning to set up the blocks in the correct position.
Still, fun game and it also looks really clean!
Thanks for playing! I appreciate the feedback. I honestly left that "feature" in because it made the game too hard ahah, even for me. I'll keep this in mind if I ever continue working on the game :)
