How does your game fit the theme "Unconventional Means"?
You have to use the "Developer Test Panel" to go to future levels! Instead of being a normal platformer, you have to use UNCONVENTIONAL ways to play levels, change size, speed and even the jump height.

copy paste of my rating from your itch page: Camera left my soul. Super meat boy vibes. Holy nice level design, really frustrating yet rewarding 4/5

Overall, a really clever and fun game!
Yeah, that was the side effect of the bug I tried to fix, which created a side bug. Thanks for your feedback!
Great job! Very cool idea! ^^ I missed a level counter. The mechanic was rgeat, it was very fun to play with it! Nice job!
This was great!!! I loved the idea -awesome use of the theme!! Very creative -i think my favorite was shrinking and growing the character -really cool game -nice work! :D
Thank you!
While not the first game to use dev options as a gameplay aspect, this put a cool spin on it, Great job! My only real issues would be that the spike hitboxes were a bit inconsistent in some levels, and that it became easy to exploit infinite jumps in some areas when mixed with dashes into walls.
Also if you could check my game out that would be great!
Sure, thanks for your feedback!
This is a SUPER creative concept. I think the only gripes I have are to do with level design. The main mechanics and simple art style work really well together. This is definitely one of the standout games this jam for me!
Thank you!
wow the game is great the mechanices is great the concept is really good
wanna check my game?
Thanks! Sure
I really liked the music, and the concept was really cool!
Really interesting concept and executed very well. Also I don't know if it is intentional but you could push into the walls to gain infinite jumps and I may have used that to skip some of the difficulty on certain levels :P .
Oh right! I forgot to set the layer off to the ground on certain levels, but do you remember exactly which levels allowed you to pass?
I don't remember which level number but it was towards the end and you had to fall and push through a side channel right before the goal.
Oh I see it! Thanks for reporting!
I love how you put the player in the shoes of the developer to navigate their way through this game! The progression of difficulty was perfect too. Absolutely stunning.
Thanks so much!
Very good idea,i enjoyed it.Also there is a bug that if you change your size in small gap you still get bigger
Well made, basic platformer mechanics and movement work great. All the different ways the main mechanic is used is great. Good job!
Nice take on the theme, I found the levels to be just the right difficulty. I think the player movement could be a bit more polished and controlled to ease the tight platforming sections. The camera should also show the player any possible blind spots, as I found that sometimes I couldn't properly judge a jump. Other than that, I found this game to be very enjoyable and well made. Great work!
you're definitely right! Thanks for your feedback!
Very cool idea and I really like how it ties in with the "story" of it
Thank you!
Really well polished, everything flowed together nicely. Was a little confused at first bc I tried to ignore the developer test panel. Also found a third jump if you don't jump too high the first time. Great game overall!
Well made! I enjoyed this unique experience. although as the pervious guy I had the same issue of having trouble maneuvering around tight levels. Very Fun!
cool concept! a really interesting take on the theme. I think you should have every element available to change right from the beginning, just like a real developer would. Some of the levels were pretty tricky because the area you had to land or maneuver through were really tight, so I think opening those areas up would make it more fun to play. Overall though, good job!
I'd appreciate if you could play/rate my game as well! :)
Thank you! Yep, will do :)
Love the idea of this game. I could play it for hours!
Thanks!
Love the concept of this game, was fun to play with cheats haha
