Wow , Superb Game , Brilliant idea and execution.
I liked the Dialogue system they help me understanding the game and guiding, hats off to the level designer , normal size when go from there , big size when go from there , open map only when big , all are fun ,
Art and Sound are also polished. Great Work.

Wealth Is The Way

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed it! C:

Solid but repeating dialogues, requiring clicking through, got in the way of my enjoyment.

Bug: got stuck at north east tower, passing by as mid size, got to close to town, shrunk, could not resize nor move (web version)

WaldorfDeveloper189 days ago

I'm sorry, which dialogues are you referring to? No dialogue in the game is intended to repeat, and I didn't find bugs of the sort.

I'll look up on the bug you found, thanks.

Regorius189 days ago

Dialogues (mostly on when I did something wrong) were less irritating this time, guess I know the game better and thus avoids them. But they should never be multi page (I am running at default size in browser)

Solid 5/5. What an awsome game.

Melomaniac: Musical Espionage Action

WaldorfDeveloper190 days ago

Thanks! The trick is to not use RPG Maker to make RPGs C:

JustWinginItSubmitted191 days ago(+1)

Really inventive idea. Would be interested in seeing it developed more into a bigger project. Nice work!

Submitted

WaldorfDeveloper191 days ago(+1)

Thanks! In my opinion the game has the right length, I'm worried that making it longer could feel like filler. In the updated version I'm planning to ad two extra interactions though, but I don't plan in extending the story. C:

HullahoppSubmitted191 days ago(+1)

Very interesting game! I had fun playing it!

Submitted

WaldorfDeveloper191 days ago

Thanks! C:

The WatchersSubmitted191 days ago(+1)

A really creative take on the theme! The writing is pretty funny, made me chuckle a couple of times! :D

Submitted

WaldorfDeveloper191 days ago(+1)

Ahaha, thanks! I'm glad you enjoied it! C:

foxtrot-rogerSubmitted191 days ago(+1)

Fantastic concept, I also liked a lot the humor in the dialogs and this is not usually my type of game, so great job!

Submitted

WaldorfDeveloper191 days ago (2 edits)

Thanks! Yeah, puzzle adventures is not really a genre for everyone, but I figured out that's the best gameplay I could make with this concept. C:

CasperSubmitted191 days ago(+1)

I love the concept, sadly I got stuck really quickly, I didnt quite read the bit of dialogue that said something about the watchtower, and couldnt figure it out any further.

Regardless, usually I don't like these dialogue type games, but the growing/shrinking mechanics actually kept me playing for quite a while, (even when stuck for several minutes). I also enjoyed how the large map also functioned as a sort of fast travel. Well done!

Submitted

WaldorfDeveloper191 days ago(+1)

Yeah, I prefer to like more those sort of games with a story that unfolds instead of giving the player gameplay straight away. I know it's not the best approach to this sort of jam, but just I'm here to be myself. XD

Thanks for playing!

msipp27Submitted191 days ago

felt like there should be more to do, but it’s fine for what it is.

Submitted

WaldorfDeveloper191 days ago

What do you mean? The game lasts around 30 minutes, but admittedly the starting tutorial isn't clear on the steps to do after unlocking the first bridge.

msipp27Submitted191 days ago

i meant the game ends before you actually set foot on the volcano

WaldorfDeveloper191 days ago (1 edit)

unfortunately there's a bug that starts the ending cutscene if you step in the area behind the volcano mansion ahead of time (fixed in the downloadable version). Maybe that's what you encountered

lazarus_vitalisSubmitted191 days ago(+1)

Creative concept! The dialogue kept me going. Had fun stumbling my way into where I’m supposed to be in the map.

WaldorfDeveloper191 days ago

Thanks, ahaha! Yeah, the dialogue can be a nice incentive in making the player intrested in continuing. The puzzles can be a little tough, so I'm expecting people to stop playing at different spots.

RugerfredSubmitted191 days ago(+1)

I really liked the core concept, very clever and well-designed!
Without spoiling too much to people that haven't played it yet, let's say that I appreciated the multiple twists of the core mechanic. ;)

Submitted

WaldorfDeveloper191 days ago

Thanks a lot!

It took maybe too much time to design the main mechanic and to program it, but since it's the core part of a game it's always worth it. Just to say it was pretty close.

vitorascorreaSubmitted191 days ago(+1)

Great game, love the use of tropes and the dialogue. The music in each area also sells that old school RPG vibe. Amazing job!

Submitted

Space Station Assemble

WaldorfDeveloper191 days ago

Thanks! I had lots of fun writing the dialogue. XD

PukamiSubmitted191 days ago(+1)

This was the most creative idea I've seen this jam! I loved it so much, and the puzzles were really fun to figure out!

Submitted

WaldorfDeveloper191 days ago

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The intresting part is that I thought about the main puzzle mechanic of creating a path only halfway trough the jam, otherwise the game would've been much more simplistic.

ZedSubmitted191 days ago(+1)

A fun take on classic RPG's. Love it!

Submitted

WaldorfDeveloper191 days ago

Thanks! I got inspired by some videos with a similar concept. XD

PurpleBeardSubmitted192 days ago(+1)

Really fun twist on an RPG trope! Nicely put together

Dragon Drive-Thru - Built to Scale

WaldorfDeveloper192 days ago

Thanks, happy you liked the idea! C:

Mr. JamSubmitted192 days ago(+1)

Nice job! I enjoyed the writing and the footstep puzzles were well done, though required a bit of backtracking 😅

By the end of it the mother was definitely a little terrifying 😂

Cat King's Long Journey (GMTK Jam 2024)

WaldorfDeveloper192 days ago(+1)

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, some parts unfortunately require some amount of backtracking, I'll see if I can reduce the amount when I'll update the game! C:

PETALOSO!

darius joverSubmitted192 days ago(+1)

this game is insane. really dig the goofy plot and dialogue, and it was fun getting across the map through being comically massive.

Employed to Scale

Ah yes. Just me, my jam entry and my abnormally massive protagonist.

Thanks, I'm happy you enjoied it! C:
