Milky Helps People by reheated
Milky loves being helpful, but sometimes he finds that he could be more helpful if only he was a little bit bigger. The professor's invention can help milky get bigger, but it's a bit tricky to use! A logic puzzle game.

But i'm glued to it, amazing work. :)
I found the story "moo"ving. I could have picked an "udder" joke but it spoilt the milk!
@gingerBill: Haha, yoghurt a good sense of humour.
@petersmyth: Thanks! Mangosteen's a real thing, you know, and pretty much that powerful in real life, according to some.
You managed to create good puzzles *and* build a story around them, with two endings !
Puzzle games are quite rare this LD, this one was really good. Great job !
Theme? He gets bigger (I was expecting him to crush the other character) but is never really a monster. Although, I played the get smaller ending...
TIL mangosteens are real
The puzzles were well designed and fun to solve. Only had a bit of trouble with one of the first 3 levels (if I recall correctly), the rest had pretty intuitive solutions.
As some other people have pointed out, the connection between the story and the gameplay is rather weak, but it's REALLY rare to see a pure puzzle game with a story that makes sense with the gameplay, honestly, so it's not a a problem for me.
Really well executed, loved the humor and the graphics. A fine entry indeed!
One of my favourites so far in this jam =)
and funny story ^^
