The gameplay of "Sizeable" is characterized by its unique resizing mechanic, which offers a blend of clever and intuitive puzzles that are both engaging and relaxing. While the game features charming visuals and a soothing soundtrack, some players note that the experience can become repetitive after a few levels, and the overall length is relatively short. Despite these drawbacks, the game is praised for its creative level design and the satisfying "aha" moments it provides, making it a delightful choice for fans of casual puzzle games.
“Unique but simple and easy to understand game mechanics, graphics that are smooth and pleasing to the eye, a relaxing soundtrack, and just enough challenge to keep you interested and occasionally stump you but not enough to truly frustrate you.”
“The puzzles are just perfect and the perspective changes with the size is very well implemented, enhancing the gameplay and making the player think outside the box.”
“This is one of my favorite puzzle games that I've played - the difficulty felt just right, the designs of each level are beautiful, and the resizing mechanic is executed wonderfully.”
“If you aren't sure you'll like the mechanics, check out the demo--it's literally a few levels from the main game with the same solutions, so if you don't like the feel of it from the demo, the main game doesn't have more to offer you.”
“The actual gameplay turned out to be more like a 3D hidden object game, or rather one where you'll usually progress without problems by simply interacting with everything in each level.”
“For the novelty and quality of gameplay, I would recommend it, but the lack of content (as you go through levels quite quickly) and uncertainty of how many will be added makes me lean more towards getting it on sale.”

The music in the game is widely praised for its serene and calming qualities, enhancing the overall relaxing atmosphere and complementing the visuals beautifully. While many players appreciate the bespoke soundtrack and its ability to create a peaceful gaming experience, some have noted the lack of customizable sound options, which limits control over volume and sound effects. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a significant asset, contributing to the game's charm and enjoyment.
“The music is calming and helps to create a chill atmosphere while solving puzzles.”
“The wonderful art and calming music makes this a great simple puzzle game that makes you use your brain, but not so much that it's frustrating.”
“Beautiful art style, innovative gameplay, and relaxing music make this the perfect game for a cozy evening.”
“The music is just okay.”
“Don't even dream of volume settings, there's a single music toggle and 'next track' button, only available while playing, windowed mode or resolutions nowhere.”
“I would ask the devs to consider two things: #1, an option to change the volume of the music and ambient noise, or an option to mute the ambient noise as well as the music.”
