I absolutely loved this game. Your mechanic is interesting, the aesthetics are really good and the sound is fun to listen to. 

My only negative feedback will be about the text: manu unity devs use this shrinking text effect as the number of characters grows bigger, which is very disorienting to read and can get the text super small at times. If you keep up with this project, consider adding a fixed size for the text :)

That aside, I had a lot of fun. Congrats!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enojoyed it :) and I definitely agree with you about the text. I just didn't realize it at the time.

I might be absolutely terrible at shooters, but I'd brave the difficult lands of that game anytime!

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked it even if shooters arent your thing :)

I appreciate the portal reference A LOT. I also thought the cat at the end and the art was cute.  I would have liked to see some more different paths or obstacles that have to do with you're size. But I still had fun playing it.

Developer

I had a few ideas for more stuff but didn't have time to implement them. Also the portal reference was a friends idea I will let them know someone noticed :) Glad you liked it <3
