Such a creative platformer. I love how many uses you found for changing the size and the art is phenomenal. I only wish that you could also jump with the up arrow/w key.

Developer

Thank you!! I should have thought of that

Such a clever game. I had a lot of fun, and the puzzles felt intuitive. Polished presentation as well.

Developer

Thanks a lot :)

Challenging game, especially when you get close to the end. But I still had a good time beating it. My game uses a concept similar to yours, but you executed it better than I did IMO. 

Developer

Thank you for playing!

I loved the Idea and game. I think the only thing missing in the game is sometimes the player goes outside the camera, which feels a bit annoying at times. Otherwise, the game looks awesome and I love the idea that you can stand on platforms only when you're the same size as it.

Developer

Thank you! (going outside the camera is intentional and can be solved with resizing :) )

Such a cute, clever idea! Love platformers and this one blends perfectly with puzzle-solving. I found the mousewheel hard to use for transforming. I wish it was a hotkey instead, but I got to the top still and feel accomplished.

Short n' sweet little game. I like that there's multiple level objects that interact with the scale of your character. Like the springs, size specific blocks and the literal weight scale at the end.

Developer

Thanks very much! :)

Thankss!!

I loved the difficulty near the end. I think the coolest thing is that once you get to the top of the tower you can see your time. This would be a great game to speedrun or race friends to see who can get the best time

Developer

Thank you!!

Nice and cute game ! Wall Jumping is really good, but I find that sometimes the jump boost by changing form mid air is a bit hard to grasp :/ Anyway solid game :)

Absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was so cute and fluid, I especially loved the little equations and Scaley Boy's face. My only complaint is that sometimes the camera wouldn't follow him. Overall, an incredible game, especially since it was only made in four days!

Developer

Thank you for playing! :)
