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.

Wow. So good, five stars all around. I love how incongruous the "game" part of your game is with the narrative. There's just the tiniest fraction of justification - the puzzle game is the machine that collects mangosteen - and that's just what this game needed. I love the sincerity of the voice acting, I love the puns, I love the art, I love the nonsense word "mangosteen", I loved it all.
Wow! I want more Levels. The mechanics are super fun and addictive. With the right strategy it´s very possible to get around even the more complex levels, which is key to good puzzle mechanics. So you start of with a very complex level, but the complexity reduces very nicely with every sure turn you take, which again makes other turn mandatory. It has a bit of the feeling of solving a sodoku, but the right amount of trial and error. This mechanics are a gem!
One of my favorite games so far ! The story is fun and well narrated. The music is very good (but a little bit depressing). The graphics are ok, and the puzzles are very interesting and challenging, it was a good idea. Very well done !
Definitely one of my favourites so far. The picture book style story telling was great (nice puns too). But the best part of the game was the puzzles. It was really satisfying figuring out a strategy, and once you knew the strategy the puzzles were still really fun, sort of like doing Sudoku.
This is a fantastic entry. 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 !
Top notch entry. Great story in just the right dose size so that it was a reward to each puzzle. Maybe missing some juice on the game part of the game - a pause for level completion, some anims along with sfx as some one else mentioned (though these hardly hurt your score...).
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...
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!
Loved this game, the story and the graphics are really charming. The puzzle mechanics are well found and they have a bit of Sokobond feels to them. The levels became insanely hard very fast, I had to search some hints in the timelapse in order to progress in the story. Nice take on the theme. The 2 endings were very funny, congrats!
But i'm glued to it, amazing work. :)
