i like how you get smaller every 3rd square

Actually a really interesting idea for a maze-like game. If I were to run with this, I'd zoom out so you can plan a little, and have other things to collect for the end goal. Perhaps there is a reason to be big as well, like to break through things. So the game would be you figuring out how to manage your size to be at the right size in the right place. There would be many ways to get somewhere, but many would leave you at the wrong size.

I got to an open area. Was there more or is that the end?

I won! Took be a second attempt to really understand the objective. I would love to play this again when it is expanded upon and polished up. Fits the theme perfectly. Great job!

I really like the concept, it would be super fun if you got some art going for something like a little creature eating mushrooms to get smaller or bigger depending on the type of mushroom to progress. As a concept, it's a fun puzzle game!

With a menu, a few more levels and a bit more color this could be a fun game because this mechanic which you implemented is good. Keep up the good work!

I won ! I didn't get why sometime size reduce, somtime no, but at least, I understood that I have to "eat" greens

Nice job making a beatable puzzle game. I could not hear the audio and pressing Esc freezes the game, leaving that out or adding a reset option could be helpful. The game loads pretty fast though so a reset isn't essential.

The shrinking mechanic paired well with the level design. The ability adds a sense of wonder at which gaps will I be able to sneak through next!

The shrinking was interesting but some other graphics would have been nice and more gradual shrinking. Just a bit of explanation and restart ability would have been nice, but overall a good concept with a lot of potential.

This is a really cool concept :heart: I would love to see it fleshed out, maybe some enemies that you can only bypass when small and some that you could crush being bigger, etc.
