How does your game fit the theme?
Our idea to match the theme was to create interactions between a massive player (the Colossus) and a tiny player to solve puzzles and clear levels.

Superb and so creative, such an amazing concept
Thank you!! Glad you liked it ❤️
Great use of the theme! Loved having the different perspectives help make it easier to find certain items!
Thank you!! Glad you liked the game! 😊
Really fun concept!
I think more fluid/dynamic switching between the two character would really make this excel.
Thanks for the feedback! 😄
I love the game and the very creative idea behind it! Try it out its fun! (also love the walking animation)
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😄
The colossus' control scheme slows down the pacing a bit and the tutorial prompts disappeared to fast for me to read, but the idea and game mechanics are great, the first person gamefeel is nice, and the game is overall quite polished, with even some secret areas to discover. Well done! ;)
Thank you for the feedback! I definitely agree, we wanted to add sensitivity options but ran out of time unfortunately. And after watching some people play we noticed they are missing some of the tutorial prompts. 🙈 But I'm glad you liked it overall. 😄
I really like this entry! I appreciate the controller support and the adaptive buttons in the tutorial prompts are a fantastic piece of polish! This feels pretty lengthy for a jam game, and the colossus has a few more uses than I was expecting going in, awesome job! This would make a great co-op game!
A quick piece of feedback I think would be easy to implement is I'd probably move the tutorial prompts to the bottom of the screen instead of exactly center screen.
Awesome work!
Hey thank you, happy that you liked it! And thanks for the feedback! Its our first jam game and while making it we were afraid that the game will have too little levels :D But after playing some other jam games i think you're right, we definitely ended up with one of the lengthier games. 😅 Gonna keep that in mind on the next one.
Awersome concept. Very creative. We loved the visual style and the game feel! Awesome job!
Thank you! Very glad that you liked it! 😊
Super cool concept. The hands were a little slow to control, low sensitivity or something maybe, but that may have just been a me thing. Really enjoyed the character swap mechanic. Congrats and good luck!
Thanks!! 😊 Yeah, you're right. The mouse sensitivity option slider was the next thing on our todo, but we didn't manage to do it in time. Surely that would have been helpful for a lot of people. 🙈 But very happy that you enjoyed it!
Fun game! Very creative, my favorite part was smashing big walls of boxes. If you were to expand on this idea I would have more stuff like that!
Thank you! Very glad you enjoyed it! 😄
Great game and awesome concept !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :D
The concept of controlling the big hands to help the little guy is ingenious. I think it fits the theme very well. The control of the big hands is for me a bit difficult, maybe my eye-hand coordination is not that good.
Thank you!! Haha, yes, its a challenge to get the
guy-handeye-hand coordination down :DNice mechanics and style, would love to see a Virtual Reality version!
Would be very grateful if you tried our game
Thanks! Yes! While developing we also said that it would be fit very nicely for a VR game :D
Interesting concept. It took my a while though to figure out I can move as the big guy as well, not just move my hands
Thanks for the feedback! I agree, its a lot at once thats going on as soon as you get the giant 😅
Such an awesome game and concept!
Also really love the visual style!
Thank you! :D Glad you liked it!
Really cool game :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :D
Man this is so cool, I dig it.
This is such a fun concept and you executed it very well!
Thank you!! 😄
A bit difficult, but still a fun experience! Unique gameplay and nice graphics, all around great submission! Would love to see where you take the idea!
Thanks ❤️

Fun game! The game felt cozy and watching the player/giant from the other's perspective is cool, makes you think about their scales. Some dialogue between the two would be a great addition. Really wish I could pet the player! :D
Thanks! :D
Don't tell anyone about this:
:D
I couldn't get past the first encounter with the giant, don't know what to do with the hands to get past it :D. Cool concept though and I like the art style!
Hey! As soon as you have the giant you can press TAB to switch to it and move it. Press the left mouse button (or left bumper+left joystick on the controller) you can move the hand. With the scroll wheel of the mouse (or the right joystick) you can lower the hand. (You can try to use them as a platform :D)
Ahhh, the scroll wheel! That's what I was lacking, I'll give it another shot
