A puzzle-platformer where you control a block. There are growing zones that make the block grow bigger and shrinking zones that make it grow smaller.

As you get larger you also jump higher but you'll become an easier target for stray projectiles and you'll be unable to move through certain paths. On the other hand if you become too small you won't jump very high. Try to get your size right.

If you spot any bug please leave a comment. Especially collision/input bugs.

How to play:

The block moves on its own and he can't stop moving, though he only starts moving after you click to start the level. Touch the flag in each level to complete it.

Z = Jump | Select Option

X = Change direction | Next Option
