This ... is ... awesome! Gorgeous! Marvelous! Magnificent! And I'm not ironic! Especially the song at the very end!
@tfendall, could you please, please please make a ***transcription of the lyrics*** of the credits song? I gave it a try, here it is:

Could someone help me with correcting the text? I'm pretty sure everyone will surely appreciate that as well! I will not get rid of this tune out of my head for a long time ...
After restarting the player's got 0 health and the number of coins retains. Also, sometimes enemies spawn just where the player spawns, who subsequently loses a life. Instantly. That's just mean. Butoverall the game itself is great, I love the blend. I loved it until I saw this ...

No, really?! If that was mean, how should I call this one? Come on.
Truly made me laugh! Amazing idea, voice acting and visuals.
Sadly it's really unbalanced. If someone wants to play this game legit, he'll brake his fingers. If he wants to cheat - well, he'll break the fingers anyways. Mashing all of the arrow keys rapidly *is* enough to pass every level in a game. I couldn't get past Stage 16 in Challenge Mode only because my hands couldn't make it on time ;)
Neat idea. If only the sectors of the planetoid didn't block ( I couldn't plant buildings on them ), the scrolling wasn't so annoying and HUD was a bit clearer, it'd be quite a good game I suppose.
Oh boy, that's the most time I've ever spent on LD entry. I just had to unlock all of the possible tiles! Amazing execution.
However I don't quite understand how does regrowing trees work exactly. When surrounded by water, the stomp regrows once and that's it. Maybe I have to replace the water ...
I'm yet another person who simply couldn't go past the title screen. I see a lot of people who have succeded at running a game. Any hints guys? Please?
I love the idea of the 'jumping' technique. The graphics are astonishing! I just wish the background music wasn't restarting every single time I die. From what I see it's quite long and during my normal play-through I'm not ever going to listen to the whole piece.
Like people have said already - the window is too small, and the watermark is a little disturbing. If that happened to ever change - it would make the game ... perfect. Good job on making it! I rarely find myself smiling on a gameplay and these NPCs were adorable! Cheers, and yet another exclamation mark!
I'm pretty sure that's not what the game should look like: http://i.imgur.com/fPiZV.jpg ... so I'll refrain from rating Graphics for now. But other than that, it's neat.
It is a really unique entry, I must say. The greatest issue though in my opinion is glitchy collision system. Examples:
1. I've found the first key. I felt really confused afterwards after gadding with my cockroach something about 10 minutes. I had to find a light source and something was telling me it had to do something with the crystal in another cell. After another 5 minutes in that cell my cockroach ... fell under the floor only to find the crystal item laying there with him as well. That annoyed my quite a bit.
2. After resetting and picking up a crystal, I went down a dark corridor with a crystal in my hand. I approached to the yellow key. I was really surprised since I couldn't pick it up. That was confusing as well. Soon I found out the ... ceiling was missing and I was floating in mid air. Turns out that when I was 'recovering from a fall', I clipped through the ceiling. Well, since I had no clue how to get down I simply walked to the yellow door and hovered over it like nothing ever happened until the ending screen appeared.
Still, I am really amazed you made a 3D game in so little time, though it doesn't make it more playable on the other hand. I didn't find the falling down mechanic irritating at all and the mood you created was just lovely, I like such eerie atmosphere!
Hope it helped and the game will get another fix soon, because it really is a good game, there's no doubt about that. Cheers!
I've got Windows XP. Yup, the EXE doesn't work at all. That's a shame, because I liked the screenshots and was eager to test the game.
I've listened through the soundtracks though and the Inside.ogg is really my kind! You recorded it yourself, didn't you? I wish I could play guitar, I really like the sound. Cheers!
Great idea! It only needs a little tutorial for the very beginning though, I needed quite a time to figure out what was going on. It was fun until I needed a one-dot-worm which simply was not on the board. What am I supposed to do then? Apart from that - that is a good one! Cheers
It took me few tries to find out why I was losing at the very beginning for no apparent reason. Even half of a second would do it, to see where we have the Earth. Also, the collision system is glitchy. Many times hitting a fruit would end up with a fruit being on the other side of a moon and thus killing me. The idea itself is good, but where is *tiny* world? All I see is extremely large I suppose ;)
I freaking love the concept! As @KevinZuhn however said, there was quite a lot of collision problems. Deep inside I was hoping that Benjamin would get pancaked when enlarging in a small corridor :D That'd be even more fun. Emm ... I mean, entertaining. Damn, it still sounds like I'm a kind of a sadist. Ah well.
Generally I love the concept to eat smaller things which at the same time makes us get bigger. I just wish there was something more to it in this game.

Yeah, like the others already have said - it shouldn't rely that much on luck. Other than that - it's a material for a good game.
