I had a similar idea to use window scaling to tackle to theme but WOW, you absolutely nailed it. This was so well done, very impressive. We should talk shop sometime as I would love to hear how you decided what sort of gameplay to go with once coming across this idea.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback. Definitely a fair point, I didn't want to make any of the levels impossible without scaling the window but maybe I should have. There are some things like enemies that will be removed if put out of the frame and the enemies stop shooting lasers if they are off screen but definitely a fair criticism. I too am happiest with how the blackhole level turned out.
Love the music and art, very cute. Gameplay wise I like the concept but I felt like I never needed to use my brain, could have used a couple more well thought out puzzles.
Kinda felt like you were going to make this game regardless of the theme... With that being said I had a good time, love the visuals and got a couple mini scares, so nice job.
Super well rounded, nice job. I think the concept is great, I just found the controls to be a little bit too finicky. Anytime I had to do a precise jump > directional beam cast was pretty rough. I'm sure it would play amazingly on a controller. Great sound and art :)
Had a good time figuring the strategy to get the win. Took me a few tries and the winning run I got it just barely. Looks unreal too, super impressive for the timeline.
Great concept and execution, also an impressive number of levels! Nice pixel art and music was very chill. My only gripe is a minor one and that is the moving the windows around and resizing them is quite finicky, most notably on the levels where you have to do a quick and precise window movement.
I love the mix of fantasy stuff like blobs and potions with some mundane and oddly structured office spaces. That last screen is HARD!! Had to redo that quite a few times.
This is super impressive given the time limit. Solid amount of content, nothing felt rushed or under baked and you even had lots of little details present such as the jump sound changing based on the characters size. Nice art sound, particularly love the mage sprite. Puzzles get just challenging enough by the end however I found maybe it was the size of the rooms or something else but it was hard to visualise the puzzles solutions, I ended up just usually brute forcing my way through. Good game feel, amazing job!!
Love the colour palette (although the text was hard to read sometimes). Not sure if I was doing something wrong but it felt like it was taking a very long time to get my area built up, and seeing that some things cost 100's of currency felt like an unachievable goal. Really fun concept and aesthetic though.
I enjoyed playing through this. I ended up getting stuck in what looked like the last section, the second river crossing. I couldn't seem to increase the size of the middle rock to be able to make the jump across. I also couldn't tell if changing the size of the sword did anything beyond visuals, and was it possible to change the size of the enemies? Even with those issues I still had a pleasant time playing through this. The music was very nostalgic and comforting, I would love to see this expanded with some new objects to scale and areas to explore.
Great idea and nice execution. I kept underestimating how violently the rock block would fling my planks, so I didn't do a great job getting Skale very wealthy...
