LudumData

Lab Rat by someone

[raw]
made by someone for LD34 (COMPO)
Puzzle platformer game.
Two button controls: left and right to move. That's it!
Also R to reset the level and M to mute the music.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to finish the character animations in time due to an irritating bug in the library that took far too long to fix.

Edit: Added a post compo version that has the animations and updated levels.

This mechanic works really well for me. I got through a good few levels before I got completely stuck :)

I like the level design and the potion concept, but it's not always easy to understand which platforms you can climb and which ones you can't (based on your size I assume). Maybe an explanation or a couple more "teaching" levels before moving on to the shrinking potions.

I love a good puzzle game, this one is a lot of fun. The music is great, fits right in. The art is pretty too, the controls do feel a bit "fast" and the character jumps when you don't want it to. Overall really fun :)

The mechanics were decent, but the jumping was a bit random.

Good puzzle game, interesting mechanics, good atmospheric music. Gets quite hard fast, I got stuck after a few levels on the one where you got the two cracked tiles in front of you at the beginning.

It was very fun, but... Is the last level impossible? I tried about every possible combination of grow/shrink. There seems to be no way to actually finish it. Please make a playthrough, please I am puzzled (no pun intended) by how this is solvable.

It's a great game though, don't get me wrong. I had fun. :)

This was cool! At first I wasn't sure how much level design you could do with just left and right but yeah you nailed it!
Music was cool too

Great use of the theme. I couldn't figure out the level with the button at the bottom and the door at the top right!
