A platform game with both growing mechanics and two button controls. Esc to go the menu, r to restart, arrow keys to move. Had to post in a rush because of plans, let me know if anything is broken.
To beat the boss you have to change size by collecting the power ups he shoots and climb up the left wall.
And I didn't have time to add in my sfxr sounds. Maybe in tiniest post comp ever I'll add them in.
I like the concept it was original and creative. Jumping was very difficult and made it less fun because you had to jump and then repress the key. But it was still a fun game non the less. Good job!
@Funske The jumping is a little weird, and I planned to have an option for a jump button, but was short on time. Some time soon I'll upload it. Glad you liked it.
This is a great concept for a game. I have to say though that whilst I appreciate you fitting in both themes, the game's platforming controls are really being let down by only using two buttons. I think that when you concentrated on puzzling level design rather than a lot of precise jumps the game was at its best because of this. In addition a little bit more visual signals to say what is dangerous and what is safe would have been helpful.
Overall I really like the concept and most of the level design. I'd love to see this taken further.
My only complaint is that using two buttons to jump, rather than a dedicated jump button, was clunky and frustrating. It felt like the two button jump was added *for* the theme, rather than making use of the theme.
Nevertheless, I had fun and especially liked the "boss" at the end (the change in music was a nice touch too).
The two button limitation was more of a hindrance as sometimes it's impossible to jump to the right place at times plus this was a pretty solid puzzle platformer with some well thought out level designs.
