Nice. I liked the timer mechanic, I had to plan out my moves before hand which was enjoyable. I find myself brute forcing puzzle games a bit too often...
Anyway, I feel having limited lives was a bit too harsh though, for a puzzle game. Once you've solved a room it's pretty boring to have to play though it again. I lost my lives running into the, uh, four-way small corridor things as a large blob; I kept thinking that they would just block my way like a wall, rather then kill me (the grates on the floor were understandable, though).
Overall an enjoyable experience, I played through to the end :)
Nice game, I agree with Terra though in that having a lives counter in a puzzle game is somewhat harsh! Personally I'd like to see the shrink timer be based on the number of spaces you can move rather than actually on time but this way works too.
Excellent game! I messed up on level 3 tho and got trapped somewheer without a shrink machine :( Very good use of the theme tho! And the first thing i did was test out what happens if i resized in the corridor :P
Cool game! The puzzles required some fast thinking because of the timer which brought up the pace in a nice way. My biggest complaint is that the tiles which you can only pass while being a certain size cost me two lives to figure out. Maybe the first encounter with them could somehow show the player how they work in a clearer way. Still, I didn't have to restart due to losing all my lives so it was not a really big deal for me :)
I enjoyed it, interesting mechanic and interesting puzzles. I only made it to level 3 before I began finding it really tedious and gave up. I wish there was an unlimited number of lives so I wouldn't have to restart the game and replay the first couple of levels to keep going. Great job though! :)
Solid gameplay and graphics. Sometimes the movement is a bit annoying, e.g. if you should not move to much, releasing the mouse button at the right time is a bit difficult.
This is good stuff. The first time I feel through the grate I was surprised and then I felt silly. I felt the drama and pressure several times while climbing through mazes... come on... come on... almost there.. wait! Oh no... wrong turn! Gaaaaa!!!

Oh and the movement animation is pretty cool!
The sounds are too minimalistic for my taste.
Anyway, it crashes after the intro in Wine.
Good work :)
A bit nasty to have lives in a puzzle game, I usually don't feel like replaying already solved stages.
Also, a restart after game over would be nice. I had to close the program (which crashed).
The shrinking element is a good one!
