It took a bit to figure out how to move forwards, but I managed to reach the top in the end :) Personally, I found the QA WS controls to be a bit too close. Maybe QA ED or QE AD going horizontally instead would be more comfortable. However, this could just be a me problem. The UI animations are awesome and the overall polish is very good. Good game!

HELLvolutionThis brings back some flash game vibes!
I wonder why you needed an FPS display :D
Great game!

Mega Meow-MartThe ideas are pretty great, though those fuel cells are a bit too bouncy even on easy, was hard to get a good grasp of how fast I could go and which size the wheels needed to be for them to not fall, still feels pretty fun overall.

Small AfternoonThis was excellent! The number of controls was a bit daunting, but the concept is super unique, and the execution was great.

Scales Attacks!Very difficult, but I love the idea and the execution, great job

Scribble's BalanceLoved the way you decided to display the UI elements, super creative! This game did make me lose a few hairs tho, but despite that its a good time!

Strong BeleafWow I like the challenges the game sets for me! Hard to start. Harder to master!
This is a very clever interpretion of the theme. Great job!

Shrink_Your_BorderThis is pretty amazing! I wasn't very good at it, but the mechanics all made sense and were very polished. I love the implementation of theme, I love the vibes, I love the "wah wah waaaaaah," it's a ton of fun even when you're failing like me! Good work all around!

Michael's MealtimeOh this is probably one of my favorites so far. You really took the scaling theme and used it to enhance an already fun genre that meshes with your vision. It took me a bunch of tries to even understand what I was doing, but once I did, I started really enjoying it. I could see myself coming back to this after the jam. Extra points for the difficulty settings.

Orava: No Ladders to HeavenTook me a second to understand what type of game I'm playing, I started driving and failed immediately a bunch of times, but after I understood how to manage my fuel I just had to get to the top!
Very enjoyable!
Consider checking out our game? :D

Scale . Ice . MountainWow very impressive! definitely needed the controls on the screen, as it takes a few goes to figure out how to play without reading any instructions XD, so that was a good call! The visuals are really unique and interesting, and so is the gameplay - genuinely so fun! Doesn't feel too unfair, constantly feels like the perfect amount of challenge. Would've been good if I could restart with spacebar rather than the mouse, but really good job!

5-Shot Whacky Golfhey cool game! very creative way to incorporate scaling, I did get a bit demotivated to try and beat normal mode because I kept forgetting about the fuel (maybe a warning could have been a thing?) but also because it's a very hard game overall
atmosphere-wise I felt immersed, very cool submission :D
