How does your game utilize the limitation and theme?
My game uses the bottles as collectables (one makes you grow and the other bottle, smaller) and at the same time includes there and back since I interpret it as a volume change throughout the game

Great game!

I wouldn't have thought anyone would make a 3D game for this jam!

Nice Game! The character is so cute.

I encountered some bugs with the camera and I it took me too much time to understand that the orange things kills you (maybe put that in the tutorial?).

Adorable game! Nice idea for the jam. Very fun to race around collecting DNA and potions. I can't believe you made a 3D game for this jam SOLO. Kudos.

Suggestions: I see someone else mention this, but maybe make a UI to show how many DNA I have versus remaining would be helpful. All in all awesome job!

Very interesting game. The graphics were cute, although sometimes it was tough to tell when an enemy was hitting me due to how small they are. I think it'd also be good if you had a button to shrink you at will instead of having to rely on the orange potions. Overall very cool!

oh interesting idea i would try to see if i implement it thanks

Cute character.
Cute enemies.
Definitely a mechanic that could be used for some interesting puzzles and levels.

However.
Some UI would have been useful. I know you tried to make it work without UI, but being able to look at the corner of the screen and knowing how many DNA I had would have been nice. As well as a clear indication of if I'm the right size to fit inside a gap. I more than once bonked me head on low door ways.

Some more readability and information would have made me give it a better score.(not that I scored it poorly, but you know what I mean lol)

hahahah yeah i know i would love to implement those things and i will doit since i think i would continue developing this game thanks.

Quite nice. I just hope there is a camera sensitivity since I had a hard time playing it. I usually play with below average sensitivity. Overall the game is nice, still amazes me how solos can create a 3d game in a jams.

Hey, neat game, looks quite nice. It seems like being big is never something you want, it might be interesting if you needed to be big sometimes. Cool game though!
