Nice simple shooter, the asethetics are sober but well put together, I just think the shrinking could have taken a more important part of the gameplay

Very clean visuals, a simple concept but the shrinking bullets add some freshness!

Squid Game (Jam Build)This is a fun, simple game! Perfect scope for a jam. I like the sound effects!
The one piece of feedback I think I have is it's unclear why you want to use the shrinking bullet. It seemed to me like objects died in about the same number of bullets no matter which ones you hit them with, so I'm not sure why you'd pick a shrinking bullet over a normal bullet. Maybe something like asteroids take 10 normal bullets to hit, but if you shrink them one level they take 5, or if they shrink two levels they take 2 or something similar.
Awesome job!

Nano Assault StratagemVery chill game, with an interesting take on the theme. I personally would want some more done with the soundtrack, but that's just me. Great work!

Friendship Scales MountainsEveryone's saying they love the game, and it is not a bad game, but I think I must be the only one with an audio glitch. I'm on Firefox, if that matters, and the sound pitch and speed is extremely low, it made me uncomfortable.

Mega Meow-MartFun concept, but the fire rate felt a bit slow. Love the black-and-white aesthetic, and it was a unique take on the theme. Scaling up enemies after shrinking them could add an interesting challenge!

Never Without ShadowFire rate was rather slow, but looked good, and interesting take on the theme.
I think a bullet to scale up and enemy and reload your shrink bullets could be interesting (that you couldnt then shrink again).

Constructed to ClimbCool aesthetic. The black and white is pretty unique. Great job! I think you should increase the fire rate a bit. If found that I was unable to actually destroy all of the obstacles.
It would be awesome if you could rate my game too!

Teeny FactoryThis is a solid take on a simple scrolling shooter with a twist! As others have noted, I'd recommend adding more visual feedback for bullet impacts and the player taking damage. I also noticed that the shrinking bullet has an odd delay where it doesn't shoot sometimes. But overall, this is a great start, good work!

Exponential ExpansionI really like this game :) The simple visuals and sounds really sell that outer space/void atmosphere and work really well. There isn't a lot of visual feedback on the asteroids so I wasn't sure if I was doing damage until they disappeared, maybe a few cracks? But it really was a good experience, Great job!

RuneweaverVery interesting take on the theme. I love the simple visuals on this, great choice on the art style! Overall a fun experience. nice work!

Switching ScalesFun simple game, definitely intriguing how shrinking and sacrifice are necessary to beat the timer. The timer is a bit long but I had fun nonetheless. 🎉
