Really like the idea. Some sort of tutorial or explanation on how exactly it plays/works would be appreciated though. I was easily confused.

Edit: if you want more ratings, you need to rate more games too, just so you know.

Good use of the theme, and not bad for a jam game.

Solving the last level required a lot of trial and error. It was not clear that the button was a button, that it would remove the food/pill thing, and add a laser at the end of the hall. It's better to have the effects of items happen in full view of the player, at least the first time they are used, especially when there is no sound. Also the button should just activate the laser for clarity.

Change the way growing kills the player, you should have to be squished to die. Growing should just push you out of walls if you are too close, but there is still room for you to fit.

It was not clear that the box in the bottom right of the screen had to do with how the player was going to grow. It's far away from the grow timer and the player. I didn't notice it until the last level. I think that would be better indicated on the character itself.
