Neat idea! I included it in my Game Maker Toolkit’s Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Resizing the window helps you with movement, vision, blocking lasers and more!

Neat concept that is well executed. Only issue I had was that the first time I booted it up, I couldn't resize the window at all and had to reboot the game and try again.

Rocket HopReally cool idea! Got stuck in level 3 since extending window down too much caused it to go under the taskbar (I'm on Windows 10) and dragging the game window caused it to resize, making my character disappear when I extend the window back to normal. Chill music, simple visuals, and nice jumping feedback.

ScanDrillThis is a pretty neat concept. I always find games that mess around with the operating system intriguing. Though the mechanic isn't really given time to mature in this short experience, it's still pretty cool to mess around with nonetheless. Great job!

Hyper SquareBut ? But ? It's to short !!! I want more !!! There's so much more to do with such a mechanic !!!

KAERUROBOTTOI've seen this done a few times already, but I do like to see what can be done with the mechanic. I really like the music used for this game, "Near and Far". I preferred using WASD for my controls, but going through the door was only coded for the Arrows/Space movement keys without input from W. Neat game, nonetheless.

Interesting take on this concept, although windowframe is the name that gets dropped.

GravityWellVery cool mechanic! While it's true it's not the first game to use it, it still feels fresh, and gives an unusual way to play.

Tabletop DanceCute game! Very unique mechanic, and great pixel art. The only issue is the jankiness of the mechanic itself - some users with smaller screens may not get to experience the game fully, and one has to refocus the window to continue to control the avatar, but that's more of an issue with the way that resizing works rather than with the game itself. Well done!
