Art style is gorgeous. I feel like game has some problems with movement and cubes placing. S in uncommon for ladders. I would suggest to assign scale on keyboard, not on mouse. Other things are pretty good!
Thank you for the compliment I'm quite proud of the art I made this time. I agree that there are a fair amount of issues with the movement and that using keys would probably be more elegant to control scaling. Thanks for leaving some feedback and taking the time to play :D
Puzzle Design is great, Movement is a bit difficult to get used to but it works. the scale up down mechanic is great but indication for where you will be placing it would be good. Overall a very good idea, maybe manage the difficulty scale a bit better, as some level earlier are difficult and some at the end are easier
Having a placement outline is actually a really good idea and I agree that the difficulty curve is messed up. Thanks for the feedback and for playing. :D
I love the art style! Great puzzle game!
Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to play :D
stuck on lvl 10 )=
Sorry about that :(
great puzzles <3

This game slaps. That last puzzle was super tricky. I loved it. Great job.

Thank you for playing and leaving a comment :D
This is a great puzzle platformer and I really enjoyed playing it, Good Job! The only thing I have to say is that I had a hard time figuring out which buttons powers which gates. Maybe you could make the lines a little more clear?

Yeah the that was an issue I didn't quite know how to balance. Thanks for leaving a comment and taking the time to play :D
Wow, great puzzles. Seems like this is just the tip of the iceberg for what could be done here. Lots of potential for new levels and large amounts of game content.
Love the subtle animations and transitions - very polished game for such a small time investment.
Thank you for the feedback I wish I had time for more creative levels but jam constraints oof. Thank you for playing :D
Very nice puzzles. Love the visuals! And the music fits super well!
Thanks for playing and taking the time to leave a comment :D
That sand stinger transition is so seamless! I restarted a lot, but that animation was so clean.
Thank you I'm also quite happy with that transition thanks for playing :D
Great game! The art is amazing, and the puzzles and mechanics are cool and engaging. Good work!
Thank you for playing and leaving a comment. :D
This game is cool, even thought I am not a huge fan of puzzle games. The core mechanic is simple yet effective. I like the art style, I think it is really great, but I must say I don't like the music (but considering the context, is it nice to even have music).
Well done nevertheless!
Thank you for taking the time to play. I agree with you the music that is not great. Thanks for playing :D
Ditto to the art comments. This game has great style. The mechanics of this game are fairly similar to mine, but the polish and thoughtfulness in the levels is definitely a cut above. Anyways, great game well done
Just played your game and our main mechanics are similar lol. Thank you for taking the time to play and rate. :D
Really nice art and thoughtful level design! The tutorial is very helpful and appreciate it that it's a part of the gameplay levels! Great job!!
