Very cool game, i really liked that you sometimes had the choice which way you wanted to go.
After seeing you comment on our game I figured I'd take a look at yours and this honestly blew my mind. This is the most inventive game I've played this jam and I wish I could rate it a 6/5 on creativity. Fantastic game!
I really liked the vibe! Very retro-y and the feeling of being tiny at the end was the cherry on top.
Wonderful short game, the art and sound design has a very beautiful harmony and gave me nostalgic feelings of much simpler times ^^
i liked this game a lot. very impressive design on all fronts
Amazing game! The art, sound and mechanics were well executed
What a cool game. Well thought out and perfecly executed! Played a dozen random submissions and this is by far my favorite.
loved this
Cool Game. Though I do wish you could jump off of walls. I found my self clicking jump and instead falling off a wall.
I finished it, really gourgeous game.
Maybe the action could have started a little sooner, but it was really enjoyable!!
And very clever level design once it gets going :D
The vibes are wonderful. Great pacing, great payoff at the end. Cute and simple story. Wonderful use of the mechanics! Good work y'al
Really cool game! The visuals and the audio design was amazing and I loved the gameplay. Would have loved to explore the size mechanic a bit more.
Great game design, slowly introducing new concepts & nice art :)
Love the art, very smooth animations. love the chill lizard mood
Wow pretty nice game, but I would recommend making some more ground types or a sky, I needed some time to know what to do but I realized there was a description on what to do and how to do it :)
My favorite game of the jam so far i love the art
Amazing game! I had a lot of fun and everything about the game (art, audio, etc) worked perfectly together. You also incorporated the theme of the jam very well.
this game is insane , i should learn things from this game like the camera zoom in the outro
The game itself is already quite therapeutic, then the message at the end hit soooo hard, like a chef kiss.
Well done!!!
This was a really nice experience! The low res style was perfectly pitched and I had a lot of fun with it. One of my faves so far x
This was adorable, and oddly touching towards the end? I could easily play a game filled with levels like this. The music is a nice touch in particular.
this game is great. Better that all games that in the same type as it.
This was fun
wow
nice game!!!!
