This game was made for the DevFest 3.0 Game Jam hosted by Developer's Society, BITS Pilani, Goa, where we were tasked with incorporating 2-3 themes out of a list containing 6 themes. 

We decided to incorporate the following 2 themes: 

1. Stuck Together 
2. Size Matters 

Our game satisfies the aforementioned themes in the following ways: 

1. Stuck Together - Since there are two characters at play, players are required to actively switch between the two cubes according to the level and the challenges it presents to the player. Players are essentially forced to take control of both the cubes in order to successfully solve puzzles and make it towards the end of the level. 

2. Size Matters - This is where the core mechanic of adjusting sizes comes into play. Players can take control of a cube and stand on top of Pressure Plates scattered throughout the level in order to increase/decrease their size. They must be strategic, since the cubes' sizes will indeed matter when traversing through puzzles and avoiding hazards that can potentially end the player's run.
