Its a fun idea! I understand the time was the greatest limit but you should keep working on it a bit more after the jam!

Developer

Thank you! I definitely will work on this after the jam, that means a lot :)

I got stuck on level 2. Both skeletons took the keys but nothing happened.

It feels odd to have to scale negatively to make something bigger. I initially thought the attack would make the enemy the same size as the one we have.

I also encountered a bug. Sometimes when moving left or right, the horizontal scaling resets.

The concept is interesting and could be really enjoyable with some tweaks.

Hi! Unfortunately I didn't have time to finish after the second level, but I'm glad you could make it that far ;) 


I sincerely appreciate the kind words, I'll continue working after the jam :)

Are there supposed to be more than two levels? When the skeletons activate the keys in the second level, nothing appears to happen.

Unfortunately not! I ran out of time at the end I'm afraid :)
