the way of fixing the key before using it is kind of an interesting idea, sadly the controls are a bit off is a bit hard to jump and move around 

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

I liked the concept of getting small and fixing items. I had some trouble with the controls sadly.

Thanks for the feedback!

Really interesting take on the theme, I loved the different perspective shifts throughout the game, cool entry!! Having the camera pull out for a quick cutscene, rebuilding the key as you progress through the level was really neat to see. And the premise of having to shrink down to do a platforming level in order to progress through an escape room is an intriguing one. The platforming controller itself could use some fine tuning and feels a bit clunky but still works well enough. One example is with the visual gap between the player and the key even when colliding. The background sprite of the key is really trippy and nice to look at. Unfortunately, the sound didn't work for me on the web build which I think would have added a lot to the game. Overall, this was a very unique perspective-shifting experience and I think has a lot of potential. Great job everybody and keep up the good work!

yeah, unfortunately the audio was broken in the browser version. you can hear the audio if you download it. its a shame cuz the audio is really good.

thank you for your feedback and im glad you enjoyed the game :)

The idea was cool. Like a "down the rabbit hole" type of vibe. I did have to download it instead of the web build. The physics/player controller definitely felt rough but I was able to beat the game after a lot of frustration lol. Overall a quirky little platformer. Thanks for sharing!

Neat concept and interesting take on the theme!  I played it on web (don't have access to play on Windows right now) but I watched Manisha's play through of it after reading your comments about the audio - that way I still got to experience what the audio is like.  I got .9somethin' for my run.

Nice touch to add a timer so people can compete! Thanks for sharing your game :-) 

Developer

Thanks for playing and watching the stream to enjoy the audio as well.

when you say ".9something'" what do you mean exactly? you dont mean you beat the whole game in 0.9 seconds right? 👀 (im kidding)

HAHA! Yes, I am a pro speed runner and found a glitch to finish in 0.9 sec.

Oh man, I was just going off memory because I didn't take a screenshot of my score...I've also been playin as many games as possible and might have gotten mixed up...  I bet I meant 9.9 maybe it took me 10 mins to complete?   Now im gonna try again! 

Developer

omg you found a glitch to finish it in 0.9 seconds? ;ooo im not surprised, probably found a way to bypass the time starting (jk thats not possible)

but anyways the timer is very basic and is only in seconds, so if you got 9.9.. thats 9.9 seconds (and is twice as fast as wr ;o)

maybe you got 99, thats a pretty realistic time for a first run (i think mine was like 63, but ofc i coded it all and stuff lol)

Under 1 min!!  I dunno what I meant by .9 ...  glad you pointed it out, sorry for being confusing!

Developer(+1)

oh nice :)

guess we will never know the mystery of the .9 lol, you were probably being optimistic and saying you will beat it in .9 seconds haha :)

well either way, thanks for speedrunning the game

Cool game I completed it in my web browser and it worked fine btw (except I didn't have any audio)

Developer

That's cool.

it's a shame you didn't get to play it with audio, the audio is honestly one of this games leading qualities I'd say. if you get the time, you should play it again on the downloaded version (maybe try to beat my speedrun of around 20.18 seconds... id honestly be surprised if you can get a sub 21 run lol)

Submitted(+1)

I don't know how i can get 21 and below haha but tried my best

Developer

oh nice, thanks for trying at least :)

This really reminded me of that Alice in Wonderland setup in which she grows and shrinks herself constantly :) Anyway, the game nicely fits the theme, I just wish that player controls were a bit less floaty, but overall a great entry

nice and short game! Music was a liiittle bit stressful after a while. But I think the fantasy of being a tiny helper is really cute

Developer

Thanks, glad you liked the game :)
