Cool game mechanic. It's pretty unforgiving sending you back to the start on game over though.

This has a really sympathetic mood. :) I loved the help signs scattered around, really made the game take care of the player. Only negative thing was the music - only four seconds of music that loops forever. :D

Great job, I loved it! The size-switching-concept has great potential.

I could only get through the first level or so (I kept getting slain by the lava). It was great though!

pirate-rob 2013-04-29 17:35

And here I was thinking the game was gonna be easy...

It look easy until I found that there the deadly pools of lava boiling underground :D. Anyway, the concept of size changing is quite cool, the black grid is in my opinion a bit distracting.

Absolutely brilliant! The level design is fantastic. The only thing lacking is audio but in a way it's kind of relaxing

that was fun, but difficult! :)

Yeah, that was nice! Good mechanic with changing the size. Had some problems with jumping at the beginning...good job

Really hard !

Interesting. Grid-based movement & jumping was actually kinda intuitive after a while. Checkpoints before deathtraps please.

I'm on a Mac. Sorry :(

Neat mechanic, and quite much content for such short time, the mechanic works well too, it's quite difficult :)

My game is about a blob, too!

I didn't understand the grey box-mechanic, and I got stuck by the lava - I didn't find a way to get past.

Very fun game idea. Fairly challenging. I ended up failing and starting over a good number of times before I figured it out. Well made game.

Nice, even if I don't like the grid you left in the background :D

pirate-rob 2013-05-15 10:17

Eye Death Grid, Attack!

garethiw 2013-05-16 08:33

Yeah, neat mechanic! Added a lot to the platforming gameplay. Cute graphics too!

zyxer 2013-05-16 18:13

I really like the size-changing idea. :D

zccc 2013-05-16 18:50

I liked it, altough it was weird, it was very fun!
