WOW. I was not expecting this. Easily the? most creative submission I've seen. Took me a while to figure out what it was about but as soon as I understood what was going on I loved it. The beautiful level music really sells the vibes for me. Would LOVE to see a full version of this game with the same quality of artwork. Genuinely, please don't waste this idea it is amazing! It's just a shame that this one hasn't caught the eyes of many people.

I have seen a few other entries using a scaling window as part of the main mechanic but this feels like it was actually meant to be. Using the different paints to scale objects by changing your field of view is really unique and I had a great time solving how to progress through each level! The one thing that I wish could be added is maybe a small arrow that points towards the objective that way I have some semblance of which direction i need to go. I may have scaled a few things beyond reason to travel way off in the wrong direction once or twice haha

Going for GoldieVery cool and unique mechanic, it was confusing to figure out what the paints do though. Red and Blue are pretty easy to understand, white had me confused for a bit and green i have no clue. I think your game would benefit a lot if each colour had a small and easy level just to figure out what they do
This game is sick, and the levels just keep going! Love all the mechanics, would have been awesome if the game window was hosted inside another window so you can play in full screen, although this might have to do with my monitor resolution

Divide and ConquerWoah, this game is so cool! I wish you had more time to finish, it's such a cool idea! I think one small thing that could help new users learn quickly is if you matches the paint colors with the window min/max border sizes.
