Took me a moment to wrap my head around some puzzles but I got it down after a bit. Very neat little puzzle game. The only complaint I have would be the lack of music. Also perhaps a bit more games and some in between levels to have a smoother learning curve, but there is only so much you can do within a 96 hour jam. But hey, maybe you will work on this after the jam.

Cool concept, had fun !

Clean transition. I love the concept of mixing portal with scaling. Great work and awesome to place!

Really nice game! Love the pixel art and the game felt super polished. The shrink/grow gun felt really nice to shoot.

Love the concept and thought the puzzles were really interesting and challenging. It did ramp up in difficulty way too quickly though. I got past the first level no problem but I almost gave up on the second level. And the third was also really challenging. I was able to solve it by shooting while in the middle of a jump but not sure if that is the only way.

Would love to see the idea expanded with more mechanics and levels. Overall really enjoyed it. Nice work!

Great game! i really love the pixel art, and the puzzles are very clever! maybe shooting midair is a bit too hard, but that's probably me having a skill issue. Keep it up!

Feels really good to play and looks polished! Each shot is satisfying and you have options around to solve the puzzles in different ways. Somehow this reminds of a game I really loved back in days called Rick Dangerous. Well done!

Some Portal vibes for the... well, portals and puzzles, the use of game mechanics is pretty intresting as well. Solid small game 👍

Nice level-design! I liked how it uses the mechanics of bounces. It was pretty short, but pleasant to solve. Great job!

Very clever & good fun.  I agree the walking speed is a little fast.

Great job! I enjoyed playing it. It was simple, on topic, and overall, a nice experience. My only suggestion would be to make the scalable boxes a different color so they are easier to differentiate from the environment. White and gray are just too similar. Congratulations on your submission!

it looks fun, it sounds okay, and it plays pretty good.

I think a bit more focus on how the player handles is needed, but looks good, and the scaling mechanic was polished.

The art is great, but the collisions are little bit buggy.

I love the conception. I'd be better to get some tutorial information about items which scalable

I think the player's movement controls feel a little unwieldy because the walking speed is much faster than the jump height. I also think the start-up for shooting the gun when you need to shoot something midair was frustrating.  The levels where you had to bounce the projectiles felt a little too tricky to try and get the angles right. I really enjoy the use of shooting projectiles through the teleporters and trying to activate buttons that change the level I thought that was the most interesting part :)
