Incredible visuals. The particle effects are awesome. Controls are extremely smooth. Some sound would make this entry. Well done!

Really nice look, I am as bad at it as I am a super meat boy, so I couldn't get past level two, even some basic noises from bfxr would of been nice.
The mouse turning is a really clever idea, but sadly doesn't work well with low sensitivity... but still clever! On a side note, if anyone is wondering how to execute a .jar, type this in the terminal "java -jar GrowBigOrGoHome.jar"
Fun to see Super Meat Boy with only mouse controls.
This game would have really benefited from a jump sound or two. I would recommend using bfxr, you can create jump sounds with that in minutes.
Great game overall, but very frustrating that you couldn't see the mouse, which results in the character randomly turns around at times.
Great controls! really satisfying to move.
What a novel control scheme. It's wakened a bit by the fact that I can't see my cursor, but the platforming is pretty solid, the difficulty curve is great and the length it delightful. It doesn't stick around long enough to get old and repetitive. Every level is a new challenge. Could do with a checkpoint on the final level, though.
This is really good. I was pleasantly surprised by the fantastic placement of checkpoints. Really kept me playing. I wish I could see my mouse though...
Very good animation, i love it. Its funny.
^Nice piece of gameplay. After a short time of learning how to control the char it was very nice to play this game. With some sounds the game would be much better. Never mind, it feels like a very fast paced arcade runner... leveldesign is very nice... but I didn't pass the 3rd level :D
fun little game. Controls are original and graphics are simple but nice.
Feels really smooth! The camera is a bit too shaky in my opinion though. Fun little game (: You can notice it's inspired by Super Meat Boy haha
Incredible effects! and easy to control it. Good job
Control are very cool, the animation of the character is also nice. Well done!
This is IGAD!
Sadly, I could not run the jar. I'm on OSX. Here is my stack trace:
java -jar GrowBigOrGoHome.jar
Starting...
java.lang.NullPointerException
at net.jeroenimoo0.ld34.Game.main(Game.java:114)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at net.jeroenimoo0.ld34.Game.main(Game.java:122)
And just an FYI, my game.data file was completely empty.
Got it working on Linux after some fiddling :)
Challenging and fun control scheme, good physics, nice graphics, good level design.
Not much not to like in this one, except for the lack of sound and music perhaps :)
Great game! Very addicting, level 3 is very frustrating without a checkpoint though. :D Would benefit greatly from sound, but overall an amazing entry. Well done!
I thought Level 3 was evil but eventually I could run through it!
Nice game, control is perfect just like the level design. Overall nice game
