Ha! Alice in Wonderland Size-stuff! Nice!

Is there actually a plot? But cool idea in any case!

Not in this version! We didn’t have time to play anything specific since it was for a game jam, but we’re considering adding more story later.

I will be playing this live tomorrow 8/25 around 5 PM EST.

Got to see this live today! I didn't have a verified account so I couldn't comment while you were streaming haha. Glad that you liked the experience! Thank you for playing! (And dw I still am at the 10 min mark despite having played it so many times LMAO)

Oh no sorry about that, I did change those settings so that wont be a problem next time. It was a great game, if you ever have a part 2 or other games you want streamed or in a YT video let me know =D

That’s good to know, thank you! And definitely! We’re looking at what to do post-jam. We definitely want to polish this game more but will have to examine how big (or small) we want to take it first. So likely we’ll take up your offer there in the future! :D

ok ok =) keep me posted I liked it. I was able to gather up enough IQ to complete it

Want to rate game 6 out of 5

It's odd to me that the jump height decreases when you are small but doesn't increase when you are large. Not that it's bad. It's just odd.

what a good game

Total time first playthrough was 5;22:10. I was a little disappointed when it was over. I felt like this could have been expanded upon and turned into a pretty awesome $10 title.

good puzzles and feels well done.

Love the vibe created by the art and music! Also like how you implemented the theme of the jam! Very nice :D

Lovely game, great work! I like how a simple idea is so beautifully executed :D Looking forward to more levels!!

In case it helps, here's some feedback: I feel the camera movement is too quick when Alice jumps, maybe softening or locking vertical camera movement until she lands could help?

That is a good point! Thank you so much for the feedback! That could be a good solution there to the camera not being too dizzying 🤔

very beautiful game! The difficulty was perfect aswell!

Thank you very much!

Very nice game. But at first the roles of each size were not too clear to me, but i got used to it

good game. the puzzle element here is perfect for a jam game, not too hard and not too easy.

Thank you for playing!
