It's a very innovative idea. Sadly the game itself is way too hard. The collision boxes of spikes are so big that I couldn't even pass the first stage :(

Thank you for playing my game @raincole. I did not really have time to tweak the game that much as I joined pretty late. I do however like that it is pretty challenging but if I had more time I would actually tweak collisions and level design. The next two levels also contains even harder jumps but I did at least make sure that I could finish the levels before I uploaded it. I didn't really see anyone approach this theme in this way so it feels good to be somewhat unique. If you are interested in playing the game more I could spend some time tweaking the levels/collisions to make it less frustrating.

It was a good idea but really bad execution sadly, the platforming was really bugged getting stuck at walls was really easy, reached level 2 and quit out of frustration.

Nice, this is a really difficult game with a great mechanic that could be developed further to make a great gaming experience.

I really couldn't make it to the second flag as the difficulty just ramped up from the first level to the second one, and the safe zones are waaaaay too restricted in size that it felt like I had to be pixel perfect just to be able to land next to a spike.

Some tweaking on the controls and the collision boxes could make this more enjoyable, the general mechanic of shrinking the world is actually quite good!
