Thank you very much for playing! That is a good point about the controls, I'll bring it up to our dev as I do agree that something closer to wasd would probably be more intuitive as starting controls.
You can also change the controls up to your liking in the control settings as well. I don't like wasd controls (and suck when using them) so I got to swap them with arrows ones haha
Thank you!
Honestly I vastly overestimated the amount I could make for the jam LMAO.
Ideally I wouldn’t have used any other assets either, as I can draw them myself too, but I ended up focussing on the gameplay assets too much and didn’t have time for the cover/welcome screens 😂 so I just used basic cloud image because it was too ugly to leave it blank.
in the end, it’s actually only slightly faster to adapt another work than drawing it from scratch, since it also takes time to modify something to match what you need it for 😂

Thank you very much! Honestly the Alice part was absolutely an accident, as it came to us naming the game and it reminded us of Alice in Wonderland, so that is what she ended up being called xD
Last puzzle depends on the order you push the bookcases! You need to break the ice wall using arrows, but the bookcase is blocking it, so you need to remove the bookcase out of the way first!
Thank you very much for the extensive feedback, I'll definitely bring to our dev about the 1px thing, if only to see if we can add some animation so Alice standing on 1px won't feel so off LOL.
Loved this - liked the character controls changed and the your view changed too when changing size. Alice is a great idea for this.
Music a nice but a little repetitive. Hit a little collision issue on the last puzzle where I could fall through between 1 pixel between the platform and the bookcase when pulling the other.... nothing major, but annoying.
Loved all of the platforming mechanics great job :)

thank you so much for the feedback! If you don’t me asking, which part was frustrating? We’re looking at any feedback to improve this after the jam!
