For a better experience, play the windows version. If you insist, play it on Google Chrome to hear all the sounds and music.

The game's pretty tough, due to the controls, but I really like how the shrinking mechanic works.
For some reason when I move left or right, I jump as well.
Tighter controls, and this would be a pretty cool platformer

what a crazy weird (and hard) game this is! in a good way.. great fun!

Very interesting but hard to master shrink mechanics.

@Fevrir - well you have to jump when you move left or right as it gives a new sense of direction for you to minimize and move in that direction.

Nice shrink mechanic, but I was unable to pass through the first level where you had to go through a small passage.

@ free_napalm thanks! all i can say is that with only three controls, I was able to make several techniques to make the game easier/possible to play, like sliding on the floor with friction perhaps

You gave me a very nice and thorough review so I figured you deserved the same. :D
It's such a wonderful mechanic! Takes some time to get used to, but man, it's cool.
I got stuck on the second level, so there are a couple hitbox issues, but other than that I really like it!

Interesting mechanic, at least if I'm playing it right - move, and hit space when dude is heading at the angle you want to fly.

Nice game, very minimal! :D

Seemed like level 5 was harder than 6 for me, but it was very fun. Needs more levels. :P

Good game. I's a little hard to master

Pretty good, but the controls made it a pain, though that may have been intentional. Overall pretty good though.

This game is very hard... But I like the graphics and the audio of this game :) ... Great game.

Awesome concept. So simple, yet very addicting. Took me a couple of tries to understand the mechanics, but once I got the hang of it, it was really fun! Goodfeel music as well. Good job! Top score on innovation!
