This was so cool! I love that you actually switch sizes with certain objects and not just take on it's size, made switching and remembering where I left that specific size around. Great game, super fun!!

The pick up item animation where the guy unzips vertically is the stuff of legends!

Developer

I don't even know where that idea came from honestly, it was just spontaneous. Glad to see it was well received!

Really well made game with fun audio and graphics c: I especially love the background the the grunt when jumping. The pickup animation is creepy in a good way :) Your levels are designed with purpose and feel good to play through

Switching Scales really pulls you in once you get the hang of it. The concept of being able to change player scale with objects around goes hand in hand of level design, adding a fresh twist to the gameplay.

The music is perfectly fitting and enhances the overall experience, making the mysterious and slightly eerie atmosphere even more enjoyable. As you progress and get used to the mechanics, the game really starts to click, and the scaling ability of the player character becomes a highlight.

It's a well-executed game that’s both challenging and rewarding. Great work!

Fantastic use of the theme. I had difficulty understanding how the shrink/expanding interacted with the other buttons but I like how they scale relative to the size of what you're shrinking/growing to.

Excellent game top to bottom! Great work!

Great mechanic, in the level 4 I think it's a bit ambiguous where you can and can't with the out lining of the platforms, probably just me but it should be more obvious. it's pretty polish though so that's nice, I would like return to menu button so if I accidentally choose the wrong level I can easily go back

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! You can go back to he menu by pressing P to pause, then selecting the main menu option.

I love the little guy, made me chuckle when I first started the game and I'm so glad you had a level select for me to be able to play all levels because for some reason I just couldn't figure out level 3. Really fun.

Developer

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed

Incredible game! The funnest and most polished I've played yet, and these are really good levels! I love the fact that the items are random. 

Developer

Thanks a lot!

This is fun, theres a bit of wonky behavior with switching from small to big sometimes but overall it looks good and plays good
