Game looks nice but i didint find any path after i walk into the tree and also when i shrink to minimum i was able to fly as high as i want. But idea was nice!

Thanks @locustjin for playing. And for the feedback. I would definitely agree it's a little confusing in it's current state.

Atmosphere is lovely, the music and colors match well. I have to agree with the earlier comments, because I did have a little trouble playing this, but I think this game has potential!

@clericshields , @anniv4x, @cursedembassy,

Thank you for trying the game. And thank you for your feedback and kind words. I know there is so much we would love to add if we had more time. Right now it can be unclear where the player is expected to go or do at times, but I hope the ideas came across well =]

Good idea but gameplay still has much to improve. Keep working on movement of your character.

Didn't know what to do after you get the screwdriver. Game could use some more polish

The atmosphere, music and art direction are interesting and so the game look promising, but the controls, the clarity of the objectives, and the strange collisions makes it really hard to enjoy.

But keep it up, you have something promising here! Good luck for what's next :)

The idea of getting smaller to find a key to get to an exit was a clever, but it was not clear where to get the key and the gameplay/physics was buggy. But with a bit of ironing out, this would make an interesting game to play.

Hey! Cool game with pretty graphics and fun music! I really like the concept and thought it was a neat premise to shrink and grow as you progressed to get out

I found that once I entered the tree I got really lost. Wasn't sure where to go and I actually shrunk down so much that I flew up through the roof and through the walls thinking maybe I was on to something and then I went past the house and then fell through the map! All that being said, though,. I honestly had a lot of fun doing that as well! Although I'm not sure that was entirely planned.

All in all I really did like it and with a few tweaks it would be incredible! Really nice job and even more impressive given the time constraint! Thanks for the entry and I can't wait to see what else the team creates!

Kinda lost, like most people. I too like the music. I think the color palette gives a nice vibe, I like it. Shrinking to progress is a nice idea, I think there is a huge potential (fun with fractals, interesting views, a look at things we don't usually consider, etc).

Found all three! Interesting concept and aesthetic style :thumbsup:

Interesting concept but hard to play because of the inconsistent physics. I somehow got 2 parts of the key but had no idea where to find the third. Then I fell through the floor :cry:
The character is cute and the music is nice.

Could have been something nice, but I just feel the struggle of putting it all together in the last few hours of the jam.

The key part locations where well thought out and it would have been much more pleasant if the collisions worked properly.
