Nice endless runner created in 72 hours for the 34th edition of Ludum Dare Game Jam. Hope you enjoy it.
--- How to play --- Use the A, Z or Left key to get smaller. D, X or Right key to get bigger. You can press two of them (for example: A and Right key) to activate your super attack. You can take screenshots by pressing the Up key. And to pause the game, press Esc, when your game is paused press again Esc to exit to the title menu! To kill enemy, you have to be the same size it is.
The icon in the lower right corner shows you whether your super attack is available, the hearts in your higher right corner show you your health.

I played another jam game with nearly identical controls (get bigger / smaller and navigate narrow gaps), but this had the breaking obstacles based on size. Love the look of this one but didn't get much out of the gameplay.
The artstyle looks really nice! The sound effects overall are nice, apart from the sound of the monster behind you, which is too intrusive. And why does the character get faster when it shrinks?
Challenging and fun. The game is a nice departure from "eat things smaller than yourself" games. The animation was good, the art was nice and overall the game was fun. Good job! :)
I really enjoyed the visual style of the game, the pixel art was impressive, and a good level of detail was put into the main aspects of the game. The endless runner mechanics were solid, but I think a few design decisions could have been better. One example is the monsters which you have to be the same size to kill, it feels strange taking a hit from a tiny monster when you are so massive, and the icicles already give you an incentive to shrink. As well as that, there wasn't really an incentive to go fast, I think that perhaps slowing down enough should also lose you a life, as it could really help the pacing of the game. This could also show off the monster better, and make it feel like more of a persistent threat rather than a reminder of your health. Overall a great job though :)
*insert random big monster sound here* mercy!? Well working game and graphics, monster noise could have been a tad bit lower. (got frightened the first time I heard it but after that it got more annoyning the longer I kept playing)
