Great execution of a slightly generic idea. I loved how you could see how far you would scale before it happened, made it a lot more enjoyable than other games with this concept

I thought the wind mechanics were pretty cool having to shrink to be flung up in the air or growing to fight the currents. Big cube smash also fun!

I'm a big fan of puzzle platformers, and this one seems like it could be a great mechanic for one. It just needs a little bit more polishing for the assets, but the core idea works great! One little thing I would fix is I would add a coyote timer for the jumps, so that it's not so hard, specially when there are levels which the jump distance is almost the maximum possible jump one can make. Overall good game, congrats!

Thanks for the amazing feedback!
It really needs coyote time and lot of performance improvements. Sadly as this is my very first game and first game jam i ran out of time haha but it feels amazing to get feedback for more experienced studios/developers.

Thanks again! (:

I enjoyed the gameplay and the simplistic art style fits, but I had some performance issues in the browser version.

So first off, Neat concept, I really liked the way you used the theme in such a unique way. The only thing I would change is the art but all in all, Well Done!

I got stuck on this bit though. How do I enter that tiny gap?

Thank you so much!

For that tiny hole in the wall you should first move the block on the left, for that you can scale down to the min size and get down the block, then scale up and the block will fly away, you can continue pushing it until its on place!

Thank you! I would like to see this game being further developed.
