Very interesting platformer, but started out harder than it should be to get through. I feel that I missed out on some great stuff because the long movement section at the start was a major quit moment for me.
Great game ! However controls are a bit hard to take in hand, as aiming with mouse and clicking e isn't really the best, i would've prefered to click with the mouse to lauch the spell ! Also i think that the camera is too close when you are small, but beside that you did a good job !
Pretty funky Platformer and sorta Adventurous game! Very well designed and thought of :) Very good job on this one!
Hey, liked the game :) It's a lil claustrophobic when you are small, perhaps some distance from the camera would be nice. I got a lil motion sick after a while. But overall, great idea worth exploring further
Btw, I must be dumb. but had to restart cause I got stuck with the ant, couldn't jump out or do anything about it. Is there a way out I missed?
You should be able to jump out if you are big. but maybe you were too close to the wall to transform, so you didn't think it was an option. Thank you for the feedback!
Really like the art style and the story! The platforming also feels responsive (albeit some sections were a bit punishing). I just wish that you could click instead of pressing E to cast the spells.
Great job overall, I had tons of fun!
I wanted the imput for spells to be the left mouse button too, yet for some reason the game just wouldn't recognize my imputs...
The left-hand works a little too hard jumbling between the size keys and the cast spell key. The rest of the game is great!
Love the rhymes and story telling, actually gives a legit scene for why the game happened and its outcome, though the platforming is abit on the difficult side (heavily relies on coyote time to succeed most jumps) but still possible and fun.
Not sure why it makes me happy to see creatures call the character "My liege" despite the opening, very charming and sweet.
love this game and the artstyle!
The animations and movement where great! my only problem with the game was the camera being locked into the middle was a bit disorientating, but overall very good game!
Love how you applied the theme here :) great animations for movement and good platforming bits! Had a bit of a loss what to do at the molecular level in the beginning. Didn't quite know where to go.
I wanted to redo the molecular level since I also felt like it was a bit too confusing, but couldn't because of the time. I'm glad you liked it nonetheless!
Platforming was maybe a bit too tough for my liking, but the overall concept and charm helped me push through it. Overall, while being a fairly simple game, it was still enjoyable to play. Well done :)
Very nice intro! The gameplay is well made, it's fun to be able to scale up/down other living beings. The platforming at first was hard but I'm glad I continued.
The game looks sick! The graphics were amazing and I loved the feel of the movement :D
The art at the starting of the game was so good i had to check it out, but i got lost too, u dont get any instructions to know what to do at first but the platforming movement feels good. great game!
Thanks for playing it. I'll try to tweak the instructions a bit so it becomes a bit clearer. Thanks for the feedback!
I honestly got lost a lot. Im not so sure if I even beat the gamer properly I think I clipped into the final scroll from the bookshelf spider at the very top oopsie. (Edit: Had to replay it again to see for myself) .But it was an interesting take on the idea. You caught a certain vibe with this game that reminded me of the old browser games I played as a kid. And that is meant as a compliment. Felt very cozy.
Thank you so much, the browser like vibe was exactly what we were going for!
Cute game, love the feel of the character. ALso i dont think i have played in a cheese before so thats a bonus!
Nice Idea! I like the intro and story, and how the theme was used, it was a nice game, well done!
Creative take on platforming! Shortcerer is gonna be my next D&D build
It has to be a halfling then!
I love the character animation!
really cool
