How does your game fit the theme?
The Skeleton is literally built to scale objects, and there's a twist at the end :)

cute. map design is entirely linear; I wish it were a bit more complicated, and the physics and movement are a bit clumsy, but the game is short, visually nice, and the puzzles and story are just interesting enough to not get frustrated by the imperfections.
The Skeleton truly deserved an origin story. Hurray for calcium! Well done!
i liked the collecting bones thing
I died when the skull picked up the bones and started walking without a torso. Hilarious!
i LIKE this.. super cool. i like how he jumps. reminds me of mega man with the legs. i like the music. i assembled my whole body. i got the hat! wow. i wonder what cool upgrades are next but for some reason my brain is hurting trying to figure out how to arrange these boxes to get up that ledge. too many things to think about! your game design in this is nice, how the game progresses.... it works and gets the player excited for new abilities when we can see the new item..
Oh Fvck I love this! Too bad I'm bad at it. I like the concept of building your character - literally. I just couldn't get up the man passage. I've put this in my collection in the hopes you nerf the beginning a little bit. I want to see where this goes.
Collecting bones was great, but picking up stuff was really buggy

very nice! i like the way it become stronger!
I made a game with this exact concept! I think you did it more fun lol.
Funny little metroidvania. Scaling more like skeleting. :P Great job!
Could you rate my game? /jam/gmtk-2024/rate/2903767
Not bad. I liked the spin on the theme by gathering your own parts to gradually navigate levels. The mouse mechanic is kind of janky though. Dialogue is pretty funny
Really fun concept, liked how you implemented the "scaling" aspect of the character. loved the dialogue.
Keep making games
Good game and great writing!
I like it!
Really fun concept. The bugs were a bit annoying but would be good with a little more work. Well done :)
I liked the character, he's cool (:
Collision could use some work, but otherwise I loved this! Fun writing and concept, and creative gameplay! I could easily see this becoming fleshed out (haha) into a full game at some point! Great work!
I won't repeat what everyone else said, yeah, the mouse is a big painful, but the game's pretty good (and funny!)
Not Bad, I enjoyed it
