Good idea, I really liked the "clipping through wall" mechanic

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! This shows how a bug turned out to be a key feature lol. Glad you enjoy it!

Submitted

Lol we did the same in our game, we had a bug where the player would start sliding everywhere and after fixing it we implemented it as a modifier XD

Submitted

Great game ! Great design of levels and of sound effects, love the arts too. Keep up the good work :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! The randomly played sound effects really got me when i firstly tried it out. Glad to know you enjoy this!

Submitted

A pleasant, short, beautiful puzzle game with great artwork and sound effects.  Levels were designed superbly.  The ambience was excellent, but I felt the music could have added more.  I can't think of any other criticism, so well done.

Developer(+1)

I would like to compose for it if the storyline was more complete lol. Time was limited so I gave up. Glad you enjoy it!

Submitted

Really creative game. I love this art.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I tried to achieve the art in your work but failed orz. But now it seems still fine lol.

Submitted

It's a very good and relaxing game. I think it would be great for mobile to play anywhere. The levels are well thought out, and the fact that you use the border to enter and exit the square is very clever. Well done Huida :)))

Developer

Thanks for playing and calling me by Huida lol. It is the brand I use for the first time, literally meaning "answer". I want the game to answer the players who may feel isolated in the real world

Submitted

What an amazing experience! The gameplay is fun and relaxing, and the music and sound efects are really good. Good Job! 

Developer

Thanks for playing! It would be better if I got art genius like your team!

Submitted

Perfect level designs and a cute game hiding a story that I can not really tell. Although it's a common idea to scale the objects, the idea of changing the boarder in and out is so unique! Loved it!

Developer

Yeah! The first second I saw the theme I decided to scale the game border ( turning out to be just a box inside the border ) maybe I still remember the theme last year lol. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Awesome submission. I like the very relax ambiance and the mechanic is interesting. I had fun playing multiple level, and thank you for letting us skip to the next level!

Developer(+1)

Thanks to Kyle Gabbler. I stole the skip function as a key from WOG. Thank you for playing!

Submitted

The level design is very cool and I like the feeling of tricking the game by scaling boxes in a way that the player "glitches out" of them. Also the graphics are very appealing

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Hope you enjoy this game : )

Submitted

I am typically not a fan of puzzle games, but this one is honestly pretty good!

Developer

I'm not clever enough to design steady puzzles lol. So i tried to combine platformer into it ( and tricky levels lol )

Submitted

Clever idea, just wished I was clever enough to beat it

Developer

Sorry to frustrate you orz. I coulda done a tips system but I just let it slip my mind.

Submitted

I bet I just need a bit of a break before coming back and solving it. Just like the best puzzles. Not your fault.

Developer

Hope you have a good journey here

Submitted (1 edit)

Nice game! I couldn't beat 14, 16, or 20, but overall it seemed like a solid puzzle game.

I feel like the parts with precise timing like level 14 were a little too tight, but otherwise it felt good

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. And I have to admit you play games deeper than I do. LOL. Hope you had a good time here!

Submitted

Very smart, couldn't pass the level 11 sadly. Minimalistic sound gives a chill ambiance.

Good job!!

Developer(+1)

Glad to konw you like it! The late game can be a little tricky lol. Hope it was not too frustrating!

Submitted

LOVED IT! It really impressed me on how you played with what happens with the collisions during shrinking/expanding. In some games, that would be "bugs", but not on your game, fantastic!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! It wasnt what i expected in the beginning but later it became the core feature lol

Submitted

A good puzzle game using something fresh and new so for me it's a 10/10 ! :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the cheerful compliment! Really glad you like it!

Submitted

Very interesting game mechanic and clever puzzles! I also liked the music but unfortunately the bird chirping was a little bit too grating for my ears so I ended up muting the sound. Still, 5/5!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm so gald you enjoy it!

Submitted

Cool idea and nice aesthetic, good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! It's great to see SoloBro submmiting a game about combination lol

Submitted

Good level design, excellent vibe and right on theme. That's a 5 stars!

Developer

I'm so glad you like it! to leave the topic a litlle bit. I really wonder the story behind your studio name!

Submitted

haha nothing fancy, it is just a mountain close to where I live in Austria that is called Untersberg ;)

Developer(+1)

Oh I really think the name of that mountain is intereting. I mean, Untersberg. Why would it be a Untersberg? simply curious lol

Submitted

A great mental trainer combined with pleasant sound effects... what else do you need for a good game? Definitely like this game!

Developer(+1)

I'll answer that: a smoother controller lol. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

this game is really cute!!! I've seen this mechanic in a few other games but you do it really well in a simple way!!!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I really wanted to be the real border scaling but failed. Luckily it remains playable lol.

Submitted

What a really nice idea, the level designs are so baffling, I wonder how you thought of these, this is a very brilliant game, i love it

Developer(+1)

So glad you like it! Thanks for playing! I just tried playing in the editor and the puzzles came to me. Pure time consuming work lol

Submitted

you are so smarttt i can never think of these designs! good job!!!! congrats!

Developer

When the regulation is set the puzzles will come. I believe the key to game design is to set a simple prototype with many possibilities and try them out as a player. Thanks for the kind word and cheerful comments. That means a lot to me!
