Focus Shift
Focus Shift is a puzzle-platformer where the camera isn’t just a viewpoint — it’s the main mechanic. You can freely pan and zoom the frame, changing the size of the player and objects to solve puzzles. Zooming out makes you larger and able to push boxes onto switches, while zooming in makes you small enough to slip through tight spaces. Switches can even activate screen wrap, letting you exit one side of the frame and reappear on the other. Every level challenges you to rethink perspective, space, and the boundaries of the screen itself.

Very cool game! The screen warp and player size change mechanics are an interesting take on the jam's theme! I did find it a bit clunky to move the camera with the mouse and did get stuck in walls occasionally with the screen warp mechanic but overall I enjoyed the game!
Thank you for your feedback!
Very nice. I would prefer to use the Mouse to control camera movement and Mouse Wheel to zoom.
Although you can't zoom with the mouse wheel, you can still use the mouse to control the camera by dragging in the direction you want
The idea of the game is nice, but the simulation is supposed to be outside the frame, meaning that things happen outside the game but are related to the events of the game.
Thank you for your comment, but this is how I wanted to interpret the theme.
