At first I was annoyed that growing tall didn't give me any advantages, then i saw the score skyrocketing. Then i thought it was cute that he can't jump very high when tall. In general, it's pretty hard.
Fun use of growing and two buttons — nice to have added mobile oriented controls too. Not much replay value, but the initial difficulty is enough to make it fun.
Logicon, yeah, the point is when you're small you basically gain nothing for points.
So the whole point of the game is kinda pseudo-psych-warfare trying to "outsmart" the bullets when to grow and your points skyrocket.
But a tip is you gain the same points "1 step shorter than max" so you grow and then *shrink 1 level* so you're only two taps from being small then you can jump the grounders.
Difficulty ... a little strange. This LD is producing a lot of games that are "both easy and hard".
I know, it's prob random gen, but if you "pseudo-treat it as psych-warfare" if you think you see "1 opening to grow" don't fall into the "trap". Stay small and deal with the 7 grounders!
Then when it looks like you've got a legit window, grab points.
I made it over 10,000 a couple times before I began to do other things.

Well done!
