Best ending on any game jam ever!

Loved the gameplay and mechanics  :-)

Developer

Thank you so much!

Great idea, even if it was pretty buggy when I played it.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

This is a fun and interesting twist on the theme.

Developer

Thank you so much!

What a creative take on the theme! Art and level design were both really nice! I loved navigating around by moving the entire screen itself, but I do wish it was more clear in the tutorial as I was a bit confused on what to do when first opening up the game. Once I got, it was a lot of fun, great work! :)

I saw one of your WIP update on the discord during the jam and StayAtHomeDev reminds me that your project exists. I'm very impressed by the result! Very fun and unique! (Bonus point for the sound effect when falling from a huge height, it makes me laugh a bit! :D )

Developer

Cool game! I'm a wizard I'm gonna manipulate the world muahaha!

I never thought this could be done in a browser game, nice work!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Omg, this is definately one of the best entries I've played this year! such a cool mechanic!! loved it, and i could see how much more you could expand on the idea if you continue working on it!

Developer

Indeed! We are glad you enjoyed playing it!

Submitted

Cool idea!

Thank you for all the feedback!

This is by far the most creative game I played yet for this jam! AMAZING ideas, good music, GREAT art and responsive controls. Thank you for the experience it was really fun and it was one of the few games I beat without issues in this jam yet! One thing I thought about during my playtime was "I wish this was on mobile so that the game could also use vertical/horizontal screen settings for even more crazy puzzles!"

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback! We are glad you enjoyed it!

Really impressed that you got it to work on browsers. The thought of this concept on a browser game never even occurred to me. 

The buzzing didn't really affect my experience. The art and music are really nice, and there's a lot of charm I can feel put into the game. The only part that I struggled with was when I had to move my screen around to move the big platform.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! We are happy that you enjoyed the game!

Developer(+1)

it actually works better on browser surprisingly, since most browsers dont go in a low process mode when resizing unlike normal apps

Submitted

This concept is so cool!!!  I'm really curious how you guys managed to make the window scaling mechanic!  10/10!

Developer

We are glad tou enjoyed it! For the window scaling for most of it we tracked the size of the visible viewport.
