Really enjoyed this! Definitely a ranking well-earned. That bossa nova soundtrack is incredible and fits the vibe so well. This has so much character and charm!
Woah this is legit! Such a good idea and implementation im shook.
This game was amazingly polished, super creative, and was just such a great experience!!! Easily 5's across the board and a strong contender for top 20!
This game was such a treat! Mechanics were tight and polished, the music fits perfectly, feels like a complete package!
Rarely do games hit all marks for me, but oh my god, this game is the best I’ve played all jam! It’s got an amazing style, the mechanics are stellar, and just everything about this game feels phenomenal!
Ding ding ding we have a WINNER!
I can't expless how much I love it, I have seen here some games with similar mecanic but this takes it all, from art to intoative gameplay with crispy sounds and fantastic polish!
loved it
Perfect game jam entry! The mechanic is simple, creative, and well executed. I love the character, I love the music, it's all very pleasing! The puzzles are creative and fun to solve, naturally expanding the concepts. Just brilliant work all around, fantastic job!
Such a great platformer game! I LOVED the platform zone scaling and how many ways you can "cheese" through the levels to reach the goal, the music and the art is so cool, 10/10!
This is just one of the best games I played so far, I don't know where to start, the concept is cleverly found the levels are well designed ( at level 2 you start to already know that it will be fun ), the animations mixed with the SFX fit perfectly, the "game over" when you go outside of the allowed screen, the music.. I can sit and talk about the music for hour, its so well find for this kind of game. Remember me of Nintendo DS game back in time, I could play this for hour, Really well done !
I'm thrilled that the music reminds you of the Nintendo DS, as that was the exact vibe I was aiming for!

I hope you check out some of my other music! I write heavily inspired by Toby Fox's work, and I think you'll really enjoy it. Thanks for playing!
I love the work of Toby Fox ! I will definitively check your other musics ! Thanks for sharing :D
Excellent game - I really think the only thing that will stop this getting into the top 20 (if it doesn't) is the lack of tutorial, which is harsh given its a game jam.
I have 2 tiny bits of feedback:
First - I felt like I could cheese the level with 3 flags at the bottom, 1 at the top. Personally, that didn't feel right as a player - I wanted to know I'd chosen the right solution, not cheesed it.
My second bit of feedback is about the scaling tool. It didn't quite feel right scaling from the center. Intuitively I thought it would only extend from the side that you're moving the mouse towards.
It would be more difficult to scale down in this way - maybe it would need 2 more clickable entities. Anyway you guys are clearly great game designers so I'm sure you could figure it out if you think it's enough of a problem.
Great job, it's really polished and a one of the best "complete" games I've played this jam <3
Awesome game! I only wish there was a level select because my browser ran out of memory in the last level (not sure how that happened???)
We ran out of time unfortunately but its definitely something we want to add.
What an incredibly charming game! Loved the style music and game design.
Such an innovative take on the theme! The flags were a welcome twist on the mechanic too, wished there were more twists like it. Very solid game throughout, I would have preferred to be able to resize the box by dragging a corner/edge out but really good job!
I can't help myself to say that this is the greatest game concept I have seen in this jam . Wonderful visual effect, love the UI design, everything is work so tight and harmonious.
I think this is the first game I'm giving a 5 in all categories. Once I got it, it was so intuitive and the possibilities exploded but the gameplay stayed consistently creative in a focused way.
Wow, this is really inventive and a whole lot of fun! I like the art style and the wobbly gimble and sound effects. Well done!
Really creative! love the sound effects and well done controls, nice and smooth.
Very clever adaptation of the theme! Genius puzzles. And everything runs so smoothly with full audio visual feedback.
Damn its cute. Marvelous visual and idea. But it was difficult on beginning to understand the control scheme.
Loved playing this! I wouldn't be surprised if this makes it to the top 20
