How does your entry fit the theme?
Your perception of the world changes as you go through life. Some things were easier, looked and felt different as kid. By switching characters between your adult and younger self you experience this perception change in the gameplay.
What would you like feedback on?
Happy for all feedback. The level was done in the last couple of hours and does not include all intended features we build.
What assets did you use (if any)?
Music, sounds and a tile set for the level environment.

The idea of the child and adult perspective is good. The game is a little bit buggy, and we don't know how to refill the stamina bars. All Beaver's text was buggy and didn't fully appear, so I needed to figure out myself how to play, but the game mechanics are self-explicit, so it was not difficult. I was not able to finish the game because of the stamina. I think it's a good concept, and it can be pushed further with more time and experience.
Thank you for the review. Currently it is hard to finish but you can get an item by speaking to the Wombats that fills up a bit of Energy/Stamina. If you stand still and only press "E" after the text is completed, it usually works to finish a dialog.
The game isn't very good at the moment, but could be improved if it continued. Regarding the controls, it's missing key information: I had to press several buttons before figuring out how to change forms, and the double jump doesn't work well (it took me about a minute to figure it out). The bars in the bottom left corner are difficult to understand. It also took me a while to figure out that the teddy bears were giving tutorial information. There are several bugs, such as when you talk to a teddy bear and move, the text stays on the screen, and the physics also has several issues.
Thank you for the review, all very valid points that we share your opinion on and want to massively improve for our next game update. We unfortunately did not have time to play test the level we published and a couple of the issues you encountered were implemented as a system but there was no time to implement them into the actual level. We would be super thankful if you could find the time to test the improved version once it is out. ;)
Good game idea, although quite buggy. The dialogue often doesn't finish or disappear.
