Perfect, it was perfect! Down to the last minute detail. Love the piano in the background. Short and sweet puzzle, I liked it a lot. Finished it in about 5 minutes. I liked that each level presented a new feature and that you built on previous features on the next levels. Great submission Byte!

Hey byte, nice entry! I liked the difficulty progression and the core idea is very nice aswell. The game is easy to understand and pretty straight forward.

A couple of things where I'd see room for improvement is in some minor things. I'd recommend you to implement a "coyote jump" - that would allow the player to jump even if they're technically not grounded anymore. That makes plattforming usually feel a lot smoother and less frustrating.

The player can't jump if they're small and between two pentagons (probably because there is no floor directly underneath them?), that feels a bit clunky at times, especially when there is time pressure on the level.

When it comes to colors I can't recommend enough getting into color theory a bit. There are loads of tutorials on youtube and it does make a huge difference.

Good job on your finished game!

Great job with the theme for this game! I really felt the pressure seeing all the red pentagons closing in. As other folks commented, the visuals and audio could use some work, but the game design and difficulty curve was very strong. Keep it up!

short but sweet puzzle platformer, i really enjoyed it! we have a very similar mechanic in our game of switching between big and small to solve the platforming, i think you used it well here, the levels were fun!

some minor feedback:

• the menus had a few illegal shapes, but otherwise you made good use of the limitations
• the colour palette felt a bit simplistic and jarring, i feel like it could have been a bit more cohesive
• sometimes if you missed some timings, the levels would be impossible and you'd have to die to reset. maybe a reset button would have been useful? or the timings could maybe be a bit more generous

overall i enjoyed it and i think you did a great job!! well done!

Personally, I'm not usually a fan of puzzle games because I tend to find them too difficult — but yours was totally understandable, and I really enjoyed it!

I found it very creative how you used the available elements to create different challenges with such limited resources. Each level feels completely unique due to how the elements are rearranged. Pulling that off is no easy task, and I think you did it very well.

The atmosphere is really pleasant, and the music fits the vibe of the game nicely — which I believe was meant to be something more peaceful and casual. That said, I did feel the lack of some sound effects for frequent gameplay elements, like the player’s death, jumping, or an audio cue for when the goal is reached. It’s not something that breaks the experience, of course, but it could really enhance the immersion and overall player satisfaction.

The theme was well applied — even literally — using pressure as the core concept that drives the game’s sense of adrenaline. That worked really well for your idea, so I’d say you definitely nailed that aspect.

This next point might be more of a personal thing, but I found the menus to be overly large for the amount of options they contain. It doesn’t really get in the way, but it gives a sense of emptiness and a lack of visual appeal, making the interface feel a bit lifeless — even if that wasn’t the intention. Another important point: it looks like you used squares and a line in the settings menu, which could be seen as breaking the jam’s shape limitations rule.

The only thing that slightly hurt my experience was the precision of the jump and the overall player control. Sometimes it felt like the character would slide too much, and at other times it felt a bit stiff. As for the jumping mechanic, maybe consider adjusting the jump height based on how long the button is held — that might be more player-friendly for certain puzzles, like the red pentagons near the final levels.

Overall, I’d say the game has a lot of potential. With a few extra additions, this concept could easily become something more polished and complete, especially with more levels that make the most of the creativity you've already shown. One last suggestion: try exploring some color palettes that better match the mood you're aiming for, as the current one feels slightly out of harmony.

Congrats on the game, and best of luck in the jam!

This game needs polish, but hell, I HAD FUN!

First of all- the controls could be smoother. The first couple times I died it was because the jump felt weird. But after I got used to the fact I needed to jump first, and steer later, as well as really fast movement speed I started to feel this game.

The colors felt dark, and a bit drab. You can use this tool, to generate interesting color palettes: https://mycolor.space/

The theme? The incoming walls were constantly limiting the playspace, and that affected the gameplay in an interesting way, which is what I think this jam is about!

In the end, the game is ok. With slightly better movement, better graphics, maybe some sound effects, it could be great. 

Keep it up, you'll get there :)

Nice submission for the jam and shows a solid idea, but it needs more polish in execution. The theme fits perfectly, but visuals, controls, and audio feel rough and hold the experience back. Here my honest feedback:

Game play / Fun / Engagement ●●●○○
There aren’t many controls, but moving and jumping doesn’t feel smooth. It’s often hard to reach height, because of missing a platform and sometimes it feels like the character gets stuck (although size was changed). This makes the platforming frustrating at times. That said, the core idea is good and has potential, so game play gets a solid 3 out of 5.

Art Style / Visuals ●●○○○
I appreciate that you tried to stick to the given shapes, but the UI unfortunately contains non-allowed shapes, which breaks the jam’s rules. On top of that, the colors don’t match very well, and the overall design feels more like a prototype. Because of this, I give visuals 2 out of 5.

Audio / Sound Design ●●○○○
The audio is not very special and restarts every time you hit the wall, which quickly becomes annoying and frustrating. There is no special SFX and compared to other entries, this category feels much weaker. That’s why I rated it 2 out of 5.

Theme ●●●●●
The theme is the strongest part of the game. The “limited space” concept fits perfectly and directly drives the game play. This category deserves a full 5 out of 5.

nice game !!

I really injoyed the game ,  the changing size and the fake platforms mechanics are very well introduced and Suitable for  game overall concept .. the game itself fit the jam theme 

I think you should work  a little bit on the visuals .. and the fps counter should stack one the screen you can achive that easly by adding it as child of canvas layer node 

bruh

Nice little puzzle/ platformer, I could complete all levels! The rules and reduce size ability are explained quite well in a progressive manner, and the build up in difficulty is also quite smooth.. the last level was definitely the hardest! I also liked the fake platform concept, did not feel unfair at anypoint.

One suggestion i would have is to some animations or effects on landing of the ball on platforms to make it smooth and things like when the level is complete or the red things hit the ball etc.. that kind of feedback would enhance the gameplay a lot in my opinion. Also the speed of movement could be reduced a bit. I got used to it as i played more, but initially it was a bit difficult to handle Overall Nicely done!

Simple and fits the theme and constraints well. Borderline troll level on some.

Cool mechanic of changing the size to fit into limited spaces. The controls were a bit too difficult for me to use though, and the movement and the changes are not smooth enough for my taste. But this is not the kind of games I enjoy or am good at, so don’t take it personally. The use of allowed shapes in the game itself is without fault, but the UI elements (buttons, etc.) are off.

I like the idea !

You can improve the movement of the player by add a longest curve of speed progression. It will increase precision on those tiny little pentagon platforms. Maybe you can be interested by this tutorial https://kidscancode.org/godot_recipes/4.x/2d/platform_character/index.html

Thanks to use physical key, I am on an azerty keyboard !

The idea of panel moving for the menu is interesting (Maybe you can move them a little bit faster). Also, maybe you can be interested by this project I participated to develop https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Game-Template . It handle GUI scaling when you have tiny or big resolution.

Visually, the game has some strange resolutions. For instance the main menu and UI text is super vague and pixelated compared to the actual player and obstacles / platforms. Perhaps you can adjust some settings on your images in Godot (I have only ever used Unity). The gameplay is really smooth tho, and the levels are quite creative! For the specific level with the 'fake platforms', with the walls closing in fast this particular level is more trial-and-error and hope for the best, which is a bit out of touch for the platformer concept it has.

The UI for the fps should also not be parented to your game-object as it currently flies above the screen if your player jumps. While playing I loved the music because I was thinking that you recorded yourself playing the piano, but you credited the sounds from some other place. The concept fits the theme quite well, and great use of the limited shapes.

Finally, your game icon on itch is probably the most appealing of the bunch! great job on that, really grabs the itch.io scroller to play your game.

Visuals and audio meh. I however do love the idea with the walls closing in to climb up and the pentagons used as  pointy thorns / rocks sticking out to crush you, even though I didn't think it was much ''fun'' I do believe the idea deserves a decent rating.  I think if it looked better and had better music I would be more inclined playing this. Could give Rayman vibes.

I'd also add some glowing orbs that you could collect on the platforms and some odd placed extra hard platforms where you can earn extra points with.So you have the challenge of deciding whether you'd want to continue the easy route or try the hard route but possibly lose. 

The FPS UI should be parented to the camera not the player so that it doesnt move relative to the camera and also add some acceleration to the player's movement so that it is easier to make small precise adjusment movements and generally just make the platforming feel more natural also atleast give a hint on which platforms are fake like a slight color change would be enough to not make it feel unfair. also the UI utilizes rectangles.

My first thought is... gosh the menus are so slow! It's really frustrating, and in the real world I'd have immediately moved on to a different game 🫠 especially considering that the pace of the gameplay is much better once you actually start! One other major thing to note is that this game is completely unplayable for anyone with red-green colourblindness, which is the most common type. I also really don't like the "some platforms are fake" mechanic, generally in games you want the rules to appear consistent otherwise the player will get mad. 

It's not all bad, though! I love the speed of the character, and the change size mechanic is interesting if a little underutilised. You've implemented the theme well, and stuck to the spirit of the "limited shapes" theme which I love to see.
