Very different to anything I've played before. Didnt quite get some of the puzzles, but I'm sure they made sense :D
Thanks for playing! Eat the Sun is also innovative and fun! And it controlls the real border lol. Sorry some levels may be frustrating and I gave up to build tips system orz
super cool concept and quite innovative in my opinion, the controls are well chosen, the graphics remind me of those of "Blackthornprod", I like it. And finally the game fits with the theme. Great job!!
Thanks for playing! I'm so glad to be a reminder of Blackthornprod : )
I really don't know what to say about this. Using scaling to noclip the player out is creative, but some of the later levels feels way too hard, or probably even impossible. Safe to say that it was a weird experience.
Glad to know you tried the later levels! Sorry the levels are frustrating ( But absolutely possible ) I'm happy to make weird games and thanks for playing and pointing that out! : )
this is an amazing game
ive seen several games just barely/forcefully fitting into the theme but this one deserves a spot on the video! the core mechanic is very well designed and implemented.
i first thought clipping through is a glitch but then realised thats the main sauce of the game! very impressive
high numbers for you!
edit: loved the sound of shrinking and growing! and dont be envious lol your game is an S-tier puzzle game!!!
Thanks for playing! I'm so glad you enjoy the game! I wanted to compose but could make a good one. The shrinkings sounds are in random pitch but turns out fine! ( I dont recognise the notes even I just said i tried to compose lol ). Hope I can see more of your works in the future!
Super great platform scaling puzzle game, and the level designs are very well designed, Great job!
Thank you for playing! Glad if you like this game!
loved how what would usually be collision and physics problems at the boundaries were turned into actual puzzle solutions, very clever !
Thank you for playing! I can see this is really a key feature now lol. Glad if you like it!
Best puzzle game I played in this jam! Simple but effective mechanic!
That's really cheerful! I'm so glad you enjoy it!
I like the simple aesthetics of the game. It's really creative puzzle game. I am stuck at levels 18 and 20.
While level 18 is hard to solve(I have skill issue. lol.) I can't find the way to solve level 20. I couldn't see any heart and when I tried to go sideways the player was just gone.
I'm so glad you enjoy it! Thanks for playing the game through and using the skip button lol ( 21 is a tricky one, we need to listen to know where to go. And the player gone is a sad bug )
I lost patience at level 14 but it’s a nice take on the theme and the game is really polished, good job!
It really scared me when I thought I saw u lost patience at level 4 orz. Thanks for playing! I really hope you have had a good time here!
Really fun puzzles! Sound design was really tight, well done!
Thanks for playing! I'm really glad you like it!
Very clever puzzles from a simple mechanic, well done! I love the sfx of scaling stuff up and down.
Thanks for playing! that sound started with simple piano sound with random pitch ( making it horrorible lol ).
Very cool puzzle game! I couldn't solve all of them, but some of the concepts were neat and made great use of the mechanic. I loved the puzzle where you had to use a falling box as a platform to get across. Very creative!
I bet you are the first one to like that puzzle. Even I myself hate it lol. Thanks for playing. Glad to know you enjoy it!
The difficulty curve was really good on this. I liked the style too!
Thanks for playing! I'm really happy that the curve worked!
I loved the puzzle game and the concept but idk if I was trying too hard and the solution was easy but I felt like past level 13 I had to have almost pixel-perfect inputs to beat the whole game, needless to say it was hard... but fun
Sorry to know it has been frustrating. Some of the puzzles can be tricky for I had no brain for serious puzzles OTL. Glad to konw you enjoy it!
Nice puzzle plaftformer :D! I struggled to understand the yellow puzzles, but otherwise it was fun playing around with the mechanics! Congratulation for making this :D
I'm so glad you like it! I hope this could provide more freedom to let players try around but I had no brain for that. Thanks for playing!
I love this one.
Simple, gets your brain going, I love all the little interactions which at first I thought I broke the game at, but no it's actually a part of the solution. I like the artwork too. Well done :)
Thanks for playing! I didnt know the clipping function would scare players lol but now I see it really looks like a bug. I'm so glad you like it!
Great concept ! Puzzles are really nice, but it's sometime hard to execute the solution even when you figured it out. Good thing there was a skip button so I could leave a level when I was satisfied that I knew how to beat it but just didn't want to put in the skill and timing
I think the same way when I figured out the solution but cant execute in World of Goo. That's why I stole the skip button from Kyle Gabler lol. Thanks for playing!
Love for it's simplicity and of couse the puzzles, all really well done (some of them made me believe that my brain still works), it's a wild concept that work's really well. Great job!
The puzzles can be a little tricky sometimes lol. Glad you like it and got over the puzzles! Thanks for playing!
Very cool game! very nice and chill art style. Good job!
Thanks for playing! I'm so glad you like it!
Great serendipitous mechanic you've found, and interesting levels! I quite liked the ambience with the bird chirps and the painterly backgrounds (:
Glad you like it! Luckily that regulation came to me when i saw the theme and evolved into the game. Thanks for playing!
