Minimalistic concept and game. Works good, but a little too hard for me!

The falling shapes need some outlines to better differentiate from one shape to another. On anything other than the first stage, it is impossible to tell which is which. The lack of any sound is also not great. Overall, if the game had music and made it easier to tell what the shapes were, then this game would be a fine time killer. As it stands, stage one is fun and the other two are a bit hard to follow.
For some reason I couldn't hear the music, but I really enjoyed your take on the theme for this jam! I found it kind of addicting and really fun. The visuals were also really nice, and I really liked the score and streak system that made me want to try and beat my previous score.

balls-balls-ballsVery fun game with nice mechanics, and a cool retro feeling !
I was a bit lost on level 3 and did not manage to score anything, maybe changing color of your shape when you switch axis would help to know which way you scale without checking the top right corner
Great Job anyways !

Jean-Pierre the ToymakerThe visuals look great! lots of juice!
I thought the controls were a little difficult with the space bar to switch between which shape. I wish the mouse wheel made you expand up and down, and the left and right click would make you wider and smaller.
Is the audio bugged? I wasn't able to hear anything. I am using firefox, but I also tried out the windows version.

BacteriaFor the audio, it might be that it's too low? I didn't test on Firefox, unfortunately :(
Btw I agree with the controls. I initially used the scroll wheel for left and right increase but wasn't sure how to change it up for going up and down you know. But this was great feedback thank you!! I'll probably try out a few different schemes and update it post-jam maybe
Wow that’s a lot of polish! I had a great time with the art.
I noticed that in the late-game levels, shapes overlap each other quite a lot (and in the last few levels, completely), making it uncomfortable to tell what the target sizes are.
I rather liked the challenge of fitting my cursor to the shape - just not the challenge of figuring out which shape belongs to which.
The gameplay reminded me a * lot * of the “Pose Mii” minigame from “Wii Play”. So there was nostalgia in it for me as well. :)

Bits and BlocksThank you for playing!! I'm glad you got nostalgia from playing lool
But yeah I had a hard time figuring out the balancing I could have used an extra day to figure something out but IRL stuff caught up to me :(. But I'll figure out a way to differentiate the shapes. Maybe outlines would work? Idk that's for post-jam things
