READ ME!!!
If you are frustrated with the mouse disappearing, or game being too hard, I strongly recommend playing the "Not So Hard" Edition. In exchange I removed level shortcuts that exist in compo version.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Growing Orbs is a single screen puzzle game where you avoid nasty growing orbs.
The game uses 2 buttons. Hold Mouse click to move and Escape key to quit.
The game is HARD! (Both intentionally and sometimes unintentionally.. Please check known problems)
It has a Cheat level (well it is not exactly cheating, just figuring some design decisions)
The game has two ends :)
I only had little more than 24 hours to finish the game. That's why I couldn't add any more levels.
Hope you like the ones that exist..

Instructions:
Click and hold left mouse button and move your mouse to navigate on the screen.
You can also click to move, but beware.. the cursor will disappear after a short period of time.
Press Escape key to close the game.
Used Technologies:
Engine - Unity 5
Sprites - Photoshop
Music - GarageBand
Known Problems:
Since Unity does not let me to change mouse position on screen, previous mouse positions become problematic when the player suddenly changes its location.
I advise playing on the Windows build. Since HTML5 player does not let any kind of mouse control. Some of the "mouse disable" quick fixes I put for stability are completely ignored there :( Hence instant deaths on level reloads.
Disappearing the mouse is a feature, but it seems to have confused a lot of people. Holding left mouse click and moving is preferable in most cases. It helps you track the location of the character at any given time.
