Very high quality game with fun mechanics and pretty art/music. I was admittedly a little worried when I saw that growing and shrinking was bind to the arrow keys but it felt surprisingly intuitive.

Haha, honestly same. Controls on smaller games has always been my bane of existence. Could never get used to WASD controls. So I'm super glad our dev added the possibility to change control keys. I could map things to top down arrows and even with mouse controls as well. The first try I had these without the custom keys were horrible lol. I'm glad the up down arrows ended up working for you!
The controls and gameplay feel really intuitive! The pixel art is one of my favorites so far! Incredble job!!!

One Small Leap For FrogI really like how this used the theme in a literal sense. Moving faster and jumping higher when smaller, and stronger while big! And i like the little details you added, like idle animations. Great game.

Protocosmic (GMTK 2024)Great game! Love the sprite work, and very impressed how you combined some simple easy to pick up mechanics into some pretty complex interactions/puzzles. Could definitely see this being taken further!

Gecko Runnerthe theme has been interpreted in a super creative way! i really like the art and the music is super cool too. I like the fact that changing size also affects the weight and lightness of the character. I didn't manage to finish because I got lost, but that's okay! great game!
