How does your game fit the theme?
You scale the rectangular spaces to fill the whole screen and create an endless fractal! The game was made in roughly 12 hours, and it involved a lot of geometry. Although this version is just a prototype, the idea excites us to continue working on the game and add more mechanics and seamless transitions to fit the theme even more!

I like the simplicity in design here. I'd like to see more levels added and some user experience improvements, like tutorials.

Developer

Thank you for giving the game a go! We currently are continuing to work on the game, and hopefully, we will turn it into a full product someday where your suggestions are included!

I hope the author does not abandon this idea and we will see a continuation of this game. Despite its simplicity, it looks pretty good

Developer

Thank you for playing the game and leaving a motivating comment! Hopefully, this one will become a full game someday.

Really enjoying the core mechanic. tho it does shows a little that game was made in only 12 hours (which i mean omg thats amazing)

This is a really cool concept for a game, I gave it 5 stars even though it's so short just because it's so fun. It's amazing how anyone could make this in only 12 hours, I can't imagine what you could have done if you spent the full 96 hours of the game jam.

Developer

That is really motivating to hear; thank you for taking the time to play the game and leaving a comment; I appreciate it!

Very cool concept that feels like it could be expanded into a full game pretty easily. I can see a bunch of potential ways to expand the mechanics if you wanted:

- combining/splitting boxes

- limited uses of each handle

- gaining handles by by growing into certain spaces

- etc...

Developer

Wow, thank you for playing the game and taking the time to leave a comment to suggest new mechanics! Gaining handles by growing into certain spaces currently excites me to try out the mechanic, and it motivates me to get back to the game immediately. Cheers!

Nice idea. Slick UI, easy to understand and it would have great potential with many levels.  and different shapes. Shame there are only this many levels :)

Developer(+1)

Unfortunately, figuring out the geometry stuff was quite hard, so I couldn’t create more mechanics to increase the possibilities of the levels. Each drawing in the game is actually calculated by math and not any sprites except for the “expanders” you drag. Thank you so much for playing the game and leaving a comment! Hopefully, we will work on the game more to turn it into a full product. Cheers!

Very nice prototype that I think can really turn into something! Definitely whet my appetite :)

Developer

That is awesome to hear, and thank you for checking it in its current phase; I appreciate it!

I love the concept of the game! With more time to expend on that idea, I think it can become a great game! The artstyle is simple but really good for a prototype

Developer

Thank you for checking out our prototype; we are so glad to hear your thoughts! The art currently gives me a slime-y-goo-ey vibe. In time, maybe the game will evolve into that.

Nice concept! It definitely has the potential to develop into a full game

Developer

Thank you for checking out the game and leaving it a comment! Although we had little time, we wanted to see what people think about the main mechanic, indeed; so glad to hear it!

Cool game and nice concept, especially for only 12 hours. Definitely left me wanting more than 4 levels though.

Developer

Thank you for checking out the game and leaving a comment! Although we had so little time, we wanted to see how it would be perceived by the community to later maybe create a full game out of it. Hopefully, we will be adding more levels in the future!
