I likey!
Nice player art. Not sure how I felt about being able to slide up the corners of a wall, felt like a bug that was necessary to complete the level which shouldn't really be the case as far as bugs go. Also I couldn't really tell size having that much of an impact on the gameplay, the player seemed to get small too slowly.
Yes I know about the wall-sliding and everything. This was my first ever game that I did completely on my own with the art all mine. I didn't know how to fix the sliding but I am updating the game and learning from my mistakes. Thank you for responding tho! Btw when is the next video coming out?
I Likey!
Great job! A few controller bugs but so fun!
Thank you! I will be updating the game's movement and the overall artwork and maps when I get the chance.
Scary bossfight :)
The game was very well made! I had a blast going through the levels and the idea of shrinking per jump is genius for this theme. Only thing that would need fixing would be: sometimes it doesn't let you jump and I be speed pasting the exit lol
Thank you for the nice response! I'm getting a lot of good feedback lately. After the jam is finished I will work on this game to make it the best that it can be.
Nice approach of the theme!
Nice game !
Haha I also played your game
Congrats on your first jam! It came out really great. The character is cute and the final boss was a funny addition. The audio sounded good too, nice. Great job!
Thank you so much! I played your game and it felt fun as well! Glad you liked it.
easy to understand and a cool little way to fit the theme
I can't believe you replied! I played your game for soooo long! Thankssss.
haha np ^^
I played through the whole thing. You took a really simple concept and did a LOT with it. I'm seriously impressed, especially for your first jam. well done
Wow really! Thank youuu
i love the game idea and mechanics for using your size as life. Very creative!
Would have been been nice to have a score system or health bar to visualise how you are doing.
Yes I am planning to fix the colliders and on the ground and corners as well as improve the enemies a bit and a health bar to indicate your size. There also might be some collectibles such as when you hit an enemy it drops a potion which makes you bigger and all that. I could really expand this now that I'm typing out these ideas.....
Nice game! The jumping sometimes didn't work properly, and it could be a bit longer, (though I understand the time restraint is probably the main reason for that) but I liked the art and sound. I think it'd be great if you expanded on this in the future!
Thank you for such a detailed response! And yes I will fix the jumping and the colliders after the jam is completed 👌
cool game, enjoyed it haha thank you for submitting
No problem! Btw I played your game it was a pretty cool game mechanic with the key having to be the right size
oh thank you!
I LOves IIITTTT!!!
This is a really solid entry, well done. Good mechanics and idea, excellent pixel art.
Thank you sooo muchh. I played ur game btw it was amazing
Oh cool do leave a comment if you enjoyed it!
Great Idea! The sliding is a bit weird but it also makes it extremely fun! Nice simple and clean pixel art
Nice theme but movement feels imprecise.
Yes, the colliders on the tiles got messed up, so I will next time to make sure that they are completely flat and that the corners are smoother
How is this your first gamejam, this is great. I love the simple clean art and don't worry about audio it works well and not too distracting, I mean all I did in mine was slap in 2 sfx and a song haha, great job.
Thank you! I tried my best so that the audio played quietly in the background. And the pixel art I decided to make very simple and I started to get the hang of it.
Nice job man, especially for a beginner! Would you mind checking out my submission :)
Sure, Imma check it out
