I had a blast playing as the little Gobba trying to escape from the dragon! Visually, the game is top-notch — everything looks so polished and beautifully designed. The art style really enhances the experience, making the escape even more thrilling. Overall, it's a fantastic and well-executed game! Great job!

Potions of Proportionsi love the risk/reward between choosing to climb for longer vs the falling debris. felt very tight and the polish was great too!

Tweak and DestroyAwesome game, the level of polish is really quite top notch. The mechanics are simple but offer a lot of depth when playing, which I think is a pretty difficult sweet spot to hit! The art looks amazing, as well.
My only suggestion right now would be to play around with the sound effects a bit more. I think you could make it so that the chomping sound has some distance on it, so that it acts as an indicator for how far away you are from the threat. This could be useful to the player in a gameplay feedback sense, as well as giving those close calls feel a lot closer!
Keep up the great work!

Queue Up!One of the few games in which everything is taken into account down to the smallest detail. As a result, you want to play your game again and again... You guys are great

Shrink_Your_BorderAlmost full score for me. This feels like a complete game, no flaws at all and it jumped me back in time when I was a kid and I used to play Metal Slug 2 with my friends. I'll wait for a mobile version. Congratulations to Raising Games!

Shroom BlasterVery nice game. This would sit well with the old mobile games like Doodle Jump or NinJump.

Shrink Cat - GMTK Jam 2024Felt the tutorial was a little too long for what it was. really neat idea although sometimes I would just be slightly short of a platform and fall, so maybe more leeway should be given

SCALE BIRBGreat job! Looks really nice, and this was really fun to play!
To give some feedback, I really liked the ghost when you die, but think it could be pushed a bit more. The game is really fast pace, trying to scale upwards without being hit or eaten. The ghost could add a nice contrast to that if that part was slower instead of the ghost yeeting away. That just my preference though :P
Overall, I was very entertained!! :D
What a great casual game, agree, this could deff be release as a mobile game with a little more of work, like collectables. But I'm impressed with the ammount of polish this game has!
