Neat idea! It has a simple mechanic but it resulted in some surprisingly interesting puzzles. I liked the little particles when you get the sizes right. Good work on this!

Yooooo you cooked pretty good. The game fits the theme perfectly, and the puzzles get really fun once linking is introduced. Good job!

Developer

Thank you so much!

A really nice puzzle game, I think the only criticism is that changing the scale can be a bit tricky when the object is moving around!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Very fun, it's crazy you put all this together in just four days! My only complaint is that while the objects floating around looks very good, it can make it frustrating to micro-adjust the sliders.

Developer

Glad you had fun and thank you for the feedback!

The Puzzle aspect is being showcased perfectly (i couldn't even beat the 4th level :C). Good game.

Thank you! If you ever get stuck there is a video with all the solutions : )

Bongle is a delightful and deceptively challenging puzzle game. The relaxing music and colorful visuals set a calm and inviting tone, making it a pleasure to play. The controls are tight and responsive, which is crucial given the game's unique mechanic.

What starts as a simple premise—scaling objects to match sizes—quickly becomes more complex as you realize you can only scale objects on one axis at a time, and must bond them to others to get the right dimensions. It’s a clever twist that keeps you thinking and engaged throughout.

Overall, Bongle offers a satisfying puzzle experience that’s both relaxing and mentally stimulating. Great job!

Very elegant and polished entry! Didn't expect it to get so difficult. In the games with the multiple items there are even several ways to beat them :) Fun to play

Developer

Thank you, happy to hear you had fun!

Interesting puzzle game! I did like the mechanics, however I think maybe 15 levels are a bit too much for game jams? -that's me personally though. It was a good game even though I didn't play more than 5 levels.

The only thing I'm afraid of is if I missed out on mechanics due to there being so many levels. I will be honest and say, the mechanics were well made, but I can only play so many puzzle levels for a day (not my favourite type genre)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! There's some interesting stuff after the 5th level :D

Love how the game was able to add interesting complexities to a simple scaling concept! Also enjoyed the complementing art style and background music

Developer

Thank you so much!

My impression after the first couple levels was that it would be a pretty simple and straightforward game but the game quickly increased in complexity with very interesting mechanics. Great work!

Developer

Happy to hear you liked the complexity!

Love the mechanic, when it gets more difficult. The UI for changing the scale and the VFX when you got it right works well <3 awesome game!

Great puzzle game! I liked how complicated it could get and how you really needed to think.

Developer

Thank you, it's great to hear you liked the puzzles!

With the increasing complexity the game starts off slow but quickly becomes really fun to play! Great game! :)

Thank you, nice to hear you had fun!
