Interesting idea, I enjoyed the mechanic of this game, the control seem a bit hard, some time I can push the box although I have greater size than the box size. But overall great job!
Thank you for your feedback ! Yes i will try to work on fixing such bugs :)
I really enjoyed the game very much! The only thing I found is that I could glitch myself by scaling myself to the max scale and in the web version the tutorial is kinda wonky, but all in all Well Done!
Thank you for your feeedback ! I agree that some of the features weren't fully well done but i will try to do better next time :)
Cute little puzzle game, I did have fun "breaking" the game by scaling myself too large in a tight area so that I clipped to the end.
I wish there was some indicator (other than the scale above the box) that I was too small/too big to interact with the boxes (also, I had a bug where I wasn't able to push the box sometimes even when I was the same scale).
Thank you for your feedback ! For the bugs i didn't have time to fix everything but i added the replay feature "R" so that it doesn't bother the players much hahaha, and for the box yeah it wasn't well done because u needed to jump to give it more force to push it, or scale up when u're pushing it, it was just a problem of force applied. Thank you for your answer and I will try to do better next time :)
Very interesting concepts! I had an especially fun, possibly unintended moment where I enlarged to the max while inside a wall and zipped right to the end; but the actual puzzle design was solid. My one piece of feedback would be that I wish the scale of objects to interact with like the box was indicated without numbers on it or the character, but instead with either animations or other texture details. Perhaps some kind of "weak" or "too strong" animation for pushing when not the target size - to keep the screen clutter-free. Regardless, nicely done!
Thank you for your feedback ! Yes your idea is actually amazing, i will try to think more about such details that make a game much better :) I appreciate pointing that out too.
i really like how the game has an actual backstory why the character can rescale it self and everything, meanwhile alot of other games just give the character the power with no explanation,the art and music also fit so well, the game controls could use some improvements but overall nice game!
Thank you for your feedback ! Yes I agree that controls may have been better but i will work on that for the next time :)
it's a fun little game that fits the theme well. It's a bit buggy but that's expected.
Thank you for your feedback ! I will try to work more on bugs next time :)
Nice music, and the main characters a great design. Controls are a bit jank, but thats nothing that cant be fixed in a few seconds. The addition of scaling down to skip through tiles was a great addition!
Thank you for your feedback ! I will work more on controls next time :)
Cool idea and and nice music. Good job! (Its a bit easy to clip through the floors/walls if you are at the wrong spot and scale up, but the reset button helps a lot :D) .
Thank you for your feedback ! Yes it is still a bit buggy i didn't have time to work on fixing bugs much, but i will try to be careful next time :)
Wizards are the best haha
hehehe factss
Eyy thanks for playing my game decided to play yours! I liked the concept it was neat and well thought :) I'm sure you're aware but I think there is a type in the tutorial text with the jump button, says Z but you jump with W.
Rated it now, hope to see you in more jams!
Hi, thank you for playing it :) and thank you for our feedback. For the jump button i'm an azerty user so i jump with Z, so maybe for qwerty users u jump with W. I will try to fix that in the future, and hope to see u as well hehehe
Very nice~ Dm'd you my feedback.
Lovely ! Thank u for your detailed feedback !!
I think it needs a bit more testing and polishing but. besides that the art style is really good. Some sfx would make it even better but besides that I enjoyed playing your game a lot. Great work!
Thank you ! I will definitely try to improve on the gameplay and sound parts !
A really cool idea! Well done!
Thank you for your feedback !
Maybe it needs a bit more testing, but overall it was really fun, and a great concept. Congrats! ^_^
Thank you for your feedback ! I ran out of time and didn't test it much enough, I will try to work on it better next time
Congrats on your first project! Hope this game helped you *grow* as a developper
I think the graphics are nice and really moody.
An real easy way to improve your game would be to add some basic sound effects. This makes the game feel a lot more interactive.
I feel the controls are a akward to use
Thank you for you detailed feedback ! I will try to work more on that and improve my futur project :)
Love the character makes me think of Hollow Knight design!
Thank you for your feedback !
I saw that this is your first project, so I just want to say nice job! Neat little entry :)
Thank you for your feedback ! Yes it is my first project so i still have a lot to work on :)
Good use of the theme and puzzling level design! Maybe some of the controls could be moved around to make the use of spells a bit easier. Overall a very nice experience!
Thank you I appreciate your feedback ! I will try to improve it next time.
Pretty fun game, and it fit the theme well. Some of the instructions were pretty hard to read or incorrect, and the art style was a bit inconsistent. Great job though!
Thank you ! That was my first project so i still have a lot to learn. I appreciate your feedback
Interesting take on the theme. This is the first game I played that had both a character that can scale as well as being able to scale other stuff. Even has lore! Great game.
Thank you !!
