Realy nice game, funny graphics and explores the theme with creativity. The game is nice but has some problems like in second level the enemy hit box are a little inaccurate, exept this, the game is very good with a sound track that make you feel the need to rush. :D
A great idea with the size of the character!
Cool game, resizing the character made for a really interesting experience. There was sometimes when I just had to wait around for the character to get bigger to do a jump which was a little annoying. I also found it frustrating that I had to replay all the stages if I failed at a later one. However I think it is a solid game that looks great!
Nice art and music. I got stuck often in this part print.png
A really nice game ! Love the graphims and the mood ! The idea is really good for this theme ! Only the sound when we jump become a little bit annoying, but the music is really coool ! And the effect on the background are funny, like the story is ! Really good game !
Nice game and nice idea, liked the graphics a lot too. It does have it's share of problems, it is boring to wait around and I also got stuck sometimes. These are off course things that can be easily solved , good job!
Nice game art
Really liked the music and the moustache! Sometimes I missed crouching mechanism, just to not get stuck so easily (I might have been the problem). Very nice concept, good job :)

The game was fun and challenging! Game is self-explanatory and the mechanics were nice (and trippy). Visuals and audio were good too (really liked the art style).
Nice work! I really like the concept. I found myself getting stuck on the first level a few times due to going too slowly and growing too big. It was really rewarding to die a few times, and then plan a route through the level to eventually complete it (for example, the second level I had to make a loop from the left to the right, and back to the left to make sure I fit through the first gap). I think there's potential for a really interesting puzzle platformer here, since the game requires you to plan out how you will traverse the level to avoid dying/getting stuck due to getting to large. It was a little frustrating to start from the beginning each time I died, but I was able to complete it after a few tries (the final battle collecting the Zs was great!). I really love the cartoony art style as well! The background art is really well done too. Great game!
Really well done , loved the visuals and gameplay, just got stuck often but I liked the interpretation of the theme and the gameplay!
A nice idea and fun little game. I liked how getting bigger changed how you traversed the level. My one complaint is that you had to start over at level one every time you failed. This was particularly frustrating since this seems the type of game that you need to fail a few times to succeed. But, overall, that is a minor complaint for a very good little game.
I like the idea that the character becomes larger as he moves, which at first seems to be a bad thing but at some point turned out useful. The music and sound effects fit the graphics pretty well, though I think a more sci-fi music would work better with the whole science theme. Making player go all the way back to the first level when making a mistake is too punishing and takes away the chance for him/her to learn from that mistake. When I get back to level 2, I already forgot how I can correct my mistake. The rats are not of consistent size, Idk if there is a reason for that, but you should keep the rats at about the same size, and create another kind of enemy if you really want something gigantic. Overall, a pretty original idea that I havent seen in other entries I played, good job!
Very great idea, loved the graphics but i think platforms aren't visible enought, also it's a great game and really enjoyed to play it, great job ! ;)
An interresting and well polished entry! I like the artstyle, (nitpick incoming)but you might want to be careful not to mix the background with the for ground too much, there is some contrast to it now, but I would appriciate a bit more, just so I can clearly make out what belongs to the level and what doesn't. Well done everyone! :D
Great art style, definitely a cut above the rest graphically. I was probably more upset than I should have been at having to go back to the beginning of the game every time I died. The background music definitely added to the atmosphere, but the jump sound became annoying before too long (Just reducing the volume of the sound would do it). One idea that might be interesting would be to exaggerate your jumping height as you get bigger in each level (each level gets smaller??) which could lead to some interesting level design opportunities. Good job! The art alone deserves a round of applause.
cute artstyle!, the only thing i didn't like is having to start all over again every time i die(specially if it's easy to get stuc
One of the best jam games!
Good!
