Out of all of the jam games I played, that was probably the weirdest of them all. This was basically 3 different games in 1, which kinda made me think of WarioWare a bit since each theme interpretation and gameplay was different from each-other. Due to this, I'll be giving a ranking for each separate game (except for the Fix the Scale one). Spoilers ahead btw.

First game I played was "The Devil Scale". The theme execution is that you can change size with two buttons. Pretty basic but whatever. It was apparently a rage game, so it had no checkpoints. I basically had to do the thing deathless, and it was pretty annoying since the player had ice physics whenever it landed. Then I reached the end of the game where I had to find a key and avoid the trap after it. The nice thing is that they don't reset when you die so that's a plus. Overall this was a pretty boring game. I'll give this 2 stars for enjoyment, 1 star for creativity and 1 star for the style.

The second game was "Space Scale", which was a bit better but not by a long shot. You basically are an astronaut that creates platforms to make bridges, with asteroids and giant moving stars to avoid. It wasn't that hard, until I reached the Saturn section, in which it seems that I just can never make a bridge from Saturn to the next platform, since they all seem to fall down. I then found out that you can do a Planetary Travel type move to this section by walking along the rings when they are at the right position, so I did just that. It was kinda tricky but I managed. One weird thing I noticed is that the platforms interacts with other things whenever you are entering collision with it. Beside that, it was not that great. I'll give this 2 stars for enjoyment, 3 stars for creativity and 3 stars for the style.

The third game was "Rocket Scale" which is Rocket League but you become smaller every time you get a goal. The controls were a lot more jank that the other games tho so the game took longer than expected. The AI was so terrible that it just drives the ball around the area so I just had to camp the opposite goal and score. I'll give this 1 star for everything.

These games were pretty bad, but it really gives off that "first jam game" feel, which I like, which contributed to the final rating of the entire game. Plus the game has the exact same AI voice that I can find in those AI TikToks which I find it hilarious ngl

Thank you for listening to my ted talk
