Made it through all the levels! Won't lie, this game made me rage aimlessly for a bit. I was most lost on level 2. I... well here:


Think I went through the whole room before finding the answer. I thought the red glowing circle on the camera might be a button but it wasn't. I kept hearing the little hint noises, but when I looked around the area I didn't see anything. Also threw multiple things in the fireplace hoping something would happen. I kind of stumbled into the answer.

Few little tidbits:

- Scaling is really cool, but I wish I had a little bit more control. It was difficult to get the exact size I wanted because I kept overshooting.

- I would have liked a volume control, game was a little quiet for me. At first I didn't think it had audio.

- Physics were a bit bouncy which made it difficult to keep the buttons pressed sometimes.

I liked the concept overall! I thought the audio and voice acting added a lot to the spy theme. Enjoyed it. Nice work!

Thank you very much for the feedback and kind words! :) 


Yes, looking back I would absolutely add a second tutorial level, that explains the proximity buttons that are hidden in hard-to-reach places. That was an oversight and I only realised it should have been done right as the jam ended! And I also agree on the volume, will definitely look into adding volume controls going forward with our projects. Also on the physics and scaling, I also agree, with some more time to polish, it would have been great to refine the scaling a little more and also make the objects a little less excitable haha!


Thanks again!

Awesome puzzle game, I had a lot of fun playing it! My only issue was that it was really dark in the game in the rooms.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, I was tempted to add some more lights, will consider this more going forward. :)

Game looks awesome but I'm really last as to what to do 😅

Developer

Haha thank you! And no problem! The game can definitely be difficult. Shrink and grow items and place them on the various pressure plates. There are also some hidden proximity plates that are hard to see as either hidden behind something or up high. So place some objects around and see if you can find them! There is also a hint sound near all of the hidden proximity plates to help you know when you are close :)
