The game is fantastic and really fun! I found using the arrow keys with my right hand and 1, 2, 3 with my left to be the fastest setup. A customizable control scheme could improve it even more. Overall, it’s well-polished and fits the theme perfectly!

This is a fantastic game, it's really a fun game! I'm used to using WASD to control, but I found that I was faster with my left hand on the 1,2,3 keys and my right hand on the arrow keys. if I could suggest an option control scheme. Movement with A&D and Space, and the 1,2,3 on the numpad for picking size. Overall this was a well polished game that did a good job representing the theme!

Harvest Henry's Pumpkin ParadeSuch 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.

ChairpenterSuper fun super creative and I love the art. If given more time to add polish and sound, this game would be super solid!

Bills & BouquetsChallenging 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.

Scale the Windy MountainI 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.

HappybaraShort 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.

HookstroidI 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
