How does your game fit the theme?
It is about climbing things and making them big or small, so scaling objects in both senses.

I enjoyed the vibe when I first launched the game. It's very cozy and warm and the playdough avatar is very cute! What I struggled with was getting through to the second main jump of the game. The ledge grabbing seemed pretty inconsistent on the terrain in general, but I had an easy time latching on to the cardboard box you can manipulate the size of. Eventually, you're able to make said box grow to reach another box, but I couldn't figure out how to manipulate the second cardboard shape. It had a lot of the properties of the box (it could be pushed, I could mantle it like a ledge, it was made of cardboard) which led me to think it could be resized, but it would neither shrink nor grow. Meanwhile, I tried to manipulate the box from that higher ledge and accidentally made it tumble off of the dresser. I liked that moment, as it made me think "Oh, I can move this box elsewhere! Maybe I can shrink it and pick it up to then climb up the stool!", but once I had made the jump down to retrieve it, it became too difficult to manipulate and I lost interest.
I find the game really visually appealing. However, there’s a problem. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but I feel like E does nothing. I tried pressing nearly every other key on the keyboard but I didn’t find any way to make the character shrink or grow. That unfortunately means, that I haven’t been able to make any progress in the game.
