It takes a lot of bravery to make a puzzle game in such a short time, so I commend you for successfully making one that explains the mechanics well and isn't overly complicated. I had to stop and think a few times, but I was never frustrated and I wanted to see your game through to the end. One minor note is that factoring consumables into puzzle design is bound to result in players being softlocked (and maybe not realizing it), so I'd generally advise against that. Thankfully, the rooms are small enough that any time I did something in the wrong order, it never took more than 30 seconds to restart the room and get back to where I was. The transformations could have been a little faster as well and had a satisfying sound effect to compensate. Nitpicks aside, I had fun playing your game and I hope lots of people give it a shot!
The gameplay felt pretty awkward, but it's got something many jam games don't - level design, and even something resembling a real ending! Also, despite the word "scale" in the theme, it's a size-changing rat instead of a size-changing reptile - so, points for originality :P
I like the art style, and also the concept of small mouse jumping higher then large mouse. I too faced some issue where the switches aren't working for either mouse. Looks like the game has potential to be expanded upon and have more puzzling levels.
one of the games of all time
i had to run it in wine so it was really really laggy and i wasnt able to get past the 3rd level. overall, a pretty nice idea, i would love to test it on a windows pc tho!
Unfortunately, the switches do not work for either small or large mouse on level 1
