Clever, satisfying, and really fluid mechanics. Not much more to say really! I think the snail's actions could be telegraphed a bit more, and I was confused why the snail after a while had to return to the original position - is that so we can't get stuck? It took a while so I'd just reset the level by going outside and then back in if needed. With a bit of juice, this is basically already a full game aha. Awesome job!
Incredible, I love the "mise en abyme" through the paintings. And the mecanic with snails.
This was really cool! I was probably the coolest snail possible and my mind was kinda blown when I jumped off the platform and fell back through two paintings..! What!! Really impressive how many puzzles you were able to complete in the time we had :)
More complex than I was expected. I liked the shift slow down mechanic and I definitely needed. it. I thought the stages were platforms at first, the falling out of the stage to go back was cool. I did seem to get stuck here where I could jump up on the platform (unless i'm missing something).
If you're having trouble getting onto that scale, there's another comment on this page that has a hint about that.
What a good game!! the mechanics are so interesting and polished. the puzzles with the snails are really well made!
This was really clever and well executed, well done!
Loved it! Challenging, and a fun game mechanic to try to wrap your brain around to solve the puzzles. I really like the levels-within-levels look too.
Really enjoyable and surprisingly difficult in some places. Well done!! :)
Nice concept. I saw that when you exit from a tiny world, we are placed at the 'same place' in the big world. It could be interesting to enter the tiny world in the same way. So you can adapt your starting point to the level.
You did well. Congratz
Very clever game idea. I love the puzzle nature of controlling the snail. I encourage you to develop this idea out more! Great job!
