I seem to be covering a lot of diorama games in 2026, and I am not even slightly upset about it. Especially when it gives me a cute aesthetic and a nice puzzle component like Sizeable. Developed by Business Goose Studios and published by Alchemy Games, it recently launched on XBOX consoles. 

The mechanic is simple: rotate your diorama while shrinking, growing and moving objects to uncover hidden secrets. Change the size of objects in the diorama to locate 3 pillars in each, drop them on their designated zones, and move on. Each puzzle will also have a small hidden turtle to find. This will open mystery levels as well.

The dioramas span from outer space to the North Pole. From a desert to an island oasis and everything in between.

Changing some of the item’s dimensions will have effects on its surroundings as well. For example, the large sun will be summer, while making it the smallest will create a winter wonderland. Different items will appear in each of the 4 seasons, so make sure to try manipulating everything to see what happens. I loved that changing the moon changed the tide from high to low, reveling items below the ocean. I also loved the campsite where changing the campfire would change the time of day.

I played the demo of Sizeable a week ago on PC and immediately knew I wanted to play the full game, this time on XBOX. In hindsight, I wish I had asked for a PC key, as I found manipulating the items in-game much easier with a mouse than an XBOX controller. It is, however, a Play Anywhere title, meaning I can play it on PC via the XBOX app as well.

This is a bite-sized experience. It can be completed in one sitting, not more than a few hours, but I recommend spacing it out and jumping into a level or two when you need a moment of Zen. I enjoyed every moment with it. That might be the only real downside; I wished I had more than the 40 or so levels.

Don’t worry if you’re not good at puzzle games; these aren’t particularly difficult, and the little icons on the screen help guide you with some mild hints as to where the 3 pillars are located on each section.

The cute aesthetic, bright and vibrant colours, mild puzzles and the delightful soundtrack from Jamal Green all made for a really nice experience. I have no hesitation recommending the game and can see it being enjoyable for gamers of many ages and skill levels. 

Until next time…be good to yourself and be good to each other.
