Heavy on the presentation, looks great! IDK if i'm just really really unlucky but I kept getting bugs like my player disappearing into portals, the player/boxes being too big to actually push into the portal, and i'm pretty sure there was one time the box came out the wrong side of the portal. 

Granted with the addition of a reset button this was largely negated, but these kinds of glitches seem to happen to me a lot. Other than that, the actual game feel is very polished. Only other thing I would say is the music feels a bit loud. However, you guys did a great job!

Wow this is an extremely good and fun game! Nicely done!

Incredible game!  I love the music, but it was too loud, so after a few levels, I pressed escape thinking there might be a pause menu with a volume slider and it restarted the game...  Oh well.  It's worth replaying to get back to where I was :)

Actually crazy good game! The puzzles are very fun and keep SCALING up in complexity and mechanics very nicely.  Very much fits the theme, gameplay was addictive and the graphics are very clean and very cool.

Aside from a couple of minor bugs involving getting stuck into portals, mostly everything was perfectly on point. The only feedback I could realistically come up with is moving the portal dragging tutorial somewhere more noticeable (such as inside the playing field where it's less likely to go unnoticed when the player is too immerse to notice outside texts inbetween rooms).

Absolute treat, y'all did fantastic!

This was really cool. At first I was wondering why I could jump so high then figured it out on level two, great movement and fun mechanics. I did keep getting a bug though where if I pushed a box through a portal and I followed behind it too fast, I would disappear and I'd have to restart the level.

Really beautifull game ! Loved music too !

Had a lot of fun playing it ! But my characters sometimes disapeared in portals when pushing boxes

Thanks for playing and the feedback. Hoping to fix the issue with the player disappearing in a post jam update.

Absolutely fantastic - would be entirely unsurprised if you take the top spot with this. So much fun, very stylish, and perfect for the theme

Developer

Holy smokes this was a good game! The jumping and animations felt so smooth, and the overall design and polish was top notch! Great work!

Submitted(+2)

I love that, especially art, mechanics......Everything of the game is in harmony. Honestly, I am a little  jealous of your smooth animation with impeccable pixel art. Love that.

Super polished game, fluid gameplay and fitting idea for this gamejam theme! Well done! :D

Submitted(+1)

I love your game! I had a similar idea with mine but with a simpler scope (I am also a solo dev), but also shared the same idea that size affect weight as well. The portals are ingenous and everything is so polished and fun. Well done!

This mechanic implementation really impressed me and was significantly distinct from many of the other size-based games I've played so far.

I like your char move set, it's so smooth! Mechanics are really enjoyable!

Great concept and some really clever puzzles. I hit a few issues with portal interactions but the instant restart meant it was never much of a problem. Great job!

Thanks for playing and the comment. We tried to iron out as much of the bugs as possible, glad to know it wasn't too much of an issue for you.

I really like puzzles and artstyle

Nice game! Some of the later levels got crazy, I got softlocked a few times but restarted.

The music, the sounds, the graphics, the characters, the animations. All incredible, all top notch. The puzzle design and the thoughtful progression of introduction of mechanics to get the player going, perfect. If I have any minor complaint, its probably just that a little more space around portals would be helpful when i'm going back and forth through them to avoid getting stuck when I've made a thing big, and there's a wall there. But you even thought of that, with the reset button and the clear paths. So what I'm saying is excellent, brilliant, i'll play it again after the jam's over. Congrats :D

Developer

Thanks for the play. rate and kind words. We're hoping to resolve the issues with the portals in a post jam update so the extra room isn't required to prevent the player and crates getting stuck.
