You are a square dodging walls. If you get hit, you lose a chunk of yourself, but if you can hit the side of a wall as it comes you will add it to yourself and get bigger. Your score will only increase if you take risks and hit or get hit by walls.
Use arrow keys to move.

I had only been testing in Chrome--it turns out requestAnimationFrame is Chrome only, so I needed a sham to make it work in other browsers--it should be playable now.
Difficult to hit the sides of walls, and it's annoying that the page must be refreshed each time you die. Apart from that, however, good little concept, very theme-appropriate.
Great concept. I like that you start picking and choosing the best walls to collect by looking at what's ahead. I also liked that I felt really safe when I was a big wall, but that I was actually in more danger. Just changing the size of the dropping walls changes how useful they are to collect and how dangerous they are, which fits the theme well :)
Interesting dodge game. Definitely needs sound (I know not a trivial concept in HTML5 at this point). Given that the instructions are so short, including them in-game might help those of us that like to try before reading. I at first thought I found a bug when I learned of the grow aspect by accident. Then I read and found out that was a major point of the game. =p
