The aesthetic of this game is awesome. Love the feel of the movement and the character animations. The box collision can be a bit jittery but thats tough to get perfect in a short jam. One suggestion would be to maybe not have the size and the reset button be right next to each other. A few times I went to grow or shrink and accidently reset the level. Pretty small critique tho, this game is solid.

A nifty. The worlds are coherent and the puzzles are fun to solve great game!

Good puzzles. I don't like the controls/physics. I find myself fighting finicky physics pushing boxes rather than solving puzzles. One wrong move and boxes fly off. A bit frustrating. Otherwise it is a really good game. Good use of scaling. I think camera could let you see the whole level from the start. Good job overall!

This was a great puzzle game! I almost made it through all the levels, but puzzle seven stumped me a little. This was some of the best level design I have seen in the jam so far. I'm also impressed with the graphics as someone who has tried their hand at pixel art recently lol. Nice job!

AAA I love this game!! It's such a cute concept, and I absolutely adore the slime we control <3 The atmosphere of the game was delivered super well, and I really enjoyed the difficulties of the puzzles/levels. Really looking forward to if you plan on developing this after the jam :) <3

Such a cute game! I really love the graphics of the game :) I think the level design was super well balanced, and the experience overall was wonderful!

It's just a cute lil game. Not the kind of stuff that wins jams but it doesn't need to be : )

Enjoyment: It was fine. Just a relaxing game. The puzzles were well thought out. However stacking boxes was always a little awkward. It kind of felt like I was using the game's engine in a way that wasn't intended, if that makes sense.

Creativity: Fine too. It wasn't a bad interpretation, you definitely can't say it DOESN'T fit the theme. However I expect a lot of games to have that same twist of your character changing sizes.

Style: Good! I can imagine a winning jam entry looking like that. Very polished. I like how it's made of pretty unappealing  colors (on paper) like bog green, yet it doesn't look gross! I can see you put a lot of effort in that.

Overall, it's fine. It's the textbook example of a "good jam entry". Doesn't really do anything beyond that but I like it for what it is. I hope humanity isn't in danger after the ending.

Nicely done, i like the art style and the game is really polished..

Some great puzzles here, and I love the interactive tutorial and slow escalation of difficulty. Also really appreciate that I'm able to skip puzzles that I can't figure out - stage 3 had me stumped, but I've been playing jam entries for a while at this point so brain is a little fried!

Fun game!

I like the style, reminds me of The End Is Nigh without the dark shading. I would have preferred the jump being on the spacebar, but overall I liked it.

Fun game.

Clever mechanics and great use of theme.

Could see this going somewhere
