Nice and simple game. Reminds me of old skating flash games. I couldn't quite make it under a minute but was good.

Shrinkers WorkshopThis is very unique; tying growth, movement and jumping all into one button for something that exceeds the sum of its parts. Despite the simple control scheme (one button) I can see a lot of room for skill expression.
The level generation algorithm could do with some work as getting a good time feels more about getting lucky with the level layout. Some obstacles end up placed a bit close to one another, which leaves little room to correctly scale and position for the jump whilst bouncing back and forth against walls. Outside of these edge cases, the games feels smooth and fun to play.

Starbuilt'To live is to try' as they say, think of it as a lesson learnt.
But at the same time level generation can allow to keep each run fresh, so whilst it may not have been a good idea for this project with it being more about pushing the limits of speed and scale, it could work for another project down the line.
Either way, it was still fun.
Very good and smooth transitions. Simple and fun way to use the grow mechanic. The music is kind of repetitive though. It is great that you need to change size for both going forwards and backwards when you are too close to a wall. I like that there are many different levels. The game is also fairly easy to learn. Good job!

WELL DIVERExtremely creative approach to the theme. I dig it! 5 stars.
I do have one little nugget of wisdom that doesn't come from me, but I think it would be well applied to this game, if you work on it more. Paraphrasing here but, "The goal of level design is to give the player an opportunity to use all the game mechanics".
The mechanic is obviously one thing only, but being big feels fast and being small feels nimble so it's kinda 2 mechanics in 1.
However, the levels as they currently generate, don't really allow the player to feel true exhilarating speed (rather, the feeling of crossing vast distances quickly for an extended time). I think it would serve the game well to space out the obstacles so that the feat of getting through a sneaky tunnel or over a nasty hump is rewarded by drifting through larger distances. This could still include some elevation changes, like almost floating down a set of stairs quickly or whatever.
With some visual context added, like a paralaxing landscape background or a cityscape, it would feel great! speed lines, also!
You've got a real gem here, and my suggestions come from a place of love and enthusiasm! This could be the next speedrunners or something. It's got great potential!

A Big Small AdventureThe sound design is incredible! As soon as I clicked on the first button I knew this game had great attention to detail. All the little transitions and menu stuff is suuper solid.
Biggest flaw here is the lack of a kickflip button imo :)

000: Out Of OrderThe idea is so unique and well done. The artstyle and design were neat and it was really fun to play!

SlimeScapesI love this game so much! The background clearly shows how the camera changes. Soooooo Cool!
And I have learnt a great lesson: I can always combine 2 functions into one single input, instead of making the player press arrows and A D back and forth lol

Doom's Day0:45.65 Finally under a minute :D The concept is great, the visuals are great. I love this. Took me a while to get this fast though. It's also really fascinating how big/small the player actually gets because at one point I thought I was already the smallest but then realized that I was actually still somewhere middle sized... Good job!

Scale Wind PuzzleThe concept is cool but it gave me too much motion sickness to play it for too long haha
