Hm, that sure is an innovative concept, to be honest! I've never seen a similar mechanic anywhere else, and I've played thousands of games in my life. You really need to develop it more, probably as a different game in a different setting.

Your entry in its current state is almost unplayable because of bugs (unexpected behavior of platforms after changes in size; missing "how to play" screen; character is visible after death; clumsy controls; etc). I couldn't even finish the first level, and after the sixth attempt I simply closed the game.

The concept sounds promising, but the gameplay needs work. Supposedly I can "double-jump", but I can't even get off the ground.

Yeah the scaling idea is really cool, but the game just doesn't feel great to play. With a little work I think it could be really neat, though!

The idea is great, but the games controls just don't feel right.

Part of this is probably due to the jump not being as high as one would expect and the other is that that you cannot see far enough ahead and have to do a lot of guessing where the next platform to land on might be instead of solving puzzles or doing some more precise platforming.

I would really like to see this games ideas and concepts in a more refined version as they seem to be very interesting but I couldn't even get through the first level ...
