I like the concept of the game and how you've incorporated both themes. Interesting.

At first I was annoyed that growing tall didn't give me any advantages, then i saw the score skyrocketing. Then i thought it was cute that he can't jump very high when tall. In general, it's pretty hard.

Very fun little minigame, generally the difficulty is a tad steep. A little difficult to play on pc but still cool.

Got 39972! It's fun, but really simple. Background and ground graphics could be improved a bit. Really like how the penguin looks.

Cute concept, but it seems like some bullets are impossible to dodge... I DO like penguins, tho....

Cool concept. I like the use of both the themes as part of the game play. Super hard though!

Is there a point to grow? I feel like I could just sit on the ground forever. Neat concept though

Fun use of growing and two buttons — nice to have added mobile oriented controls too. Not much replay value, but the initial difficulty is enough to make it fun.

Really cool concept, and cute graphics! Good job!

So funny! I like it!

Logicon, yeah, the point is when you're small you basically gain nothing for points.

So the whole point of the game is kinda pseudo-psych-warfare trying to "outsmart" the bullets when to grow and your points skyrocket.

But a tip is you gain the same points "1 step shorter than max" so you grow and then *shrink 1 level* so you're only two taps from being small then you can jump the grounders.

Difficulty ... a little strange. This LD is producing a lot of games that are "both easy and hard".

I know, it's prob random gen, but if you "pseudo-treat it as psych-warfare" if you think you see "1 opening to grow" don't fall into the "trap". Stay small and deal with the 7 grounders!

Then when it looks like you've got a legit window, grab points.

I made it over 10,000 a couple times before I began to do other things.

Game is awesome; the humorous idea makes me laugh.

Nice gmae. The sounds are alittle bit to loud tho ^^

I need to shrink again!

david-cookie 2015-12-15 16:34

Very cool concept! Pretty fun when we discover the grow mechanic and all the points that we win :o
Well done!

Definitely need a way to get shrink. :P

hah very cool. I think the score multiplier for being fully grown may be too high, but got a pretty nice score because of it :)

sounds were extremely loud and no restart button. Other than that its ok
