really interesting game. The shrinking and growing seems like an interesting mechanic. I just wish the game was longer so that you could have really explored the shrinking and growing mechanic. You might also want to explain that mechanic in your games description. Overall nicely done!
Well I agree with what agawag said, I also think the mechanics are really interesting but I feel like the game is just a tutorial, it would really have been great to have more levels.
The mechanics are really fun and innovative, the only problem is that it took me a while to figure out how to jump, and I thought that there were not as many levels as there could have been.
Okay this is interesting, I like your take on running out of space. Graphics were simple, no audio (That's okay, you were using Khan Academy so I get it.). I figured out the goal of the game after playing it, which would've been much faster if you had added a How to Play Screen or tutorial or something. I really wish this game were longer, because I think it would be pretty fun if it were. Good job!
Wow, this was unexpectedly clever! When it first opened, I heavily questioned how good the game was going to be, but this is by far one of my favorite game mechanics I've seen so far! It fits the theme perfectly, and the idea is sublime. I was shook. 5 stars all around.
Thank you so much! I am really surprised to be getting this much feedback. If I add more onto this I will be disqualified but I probably will do it since it’s too short...
Fun idea but there was no challenge whatsoever to this game making it not so fun. Maybe you should try and incorporate some puzzle aspect using this mechanic. Maybe having to end up roughly the same size as the smiley or something. Also getting too big doesn't seem to kill you. Didn't know you could program using khanacademy, nice!
Fun and really clever, but it seems difficult to me to create a lot of different levels. One day you may rework the concept by adding a bit of execution difficulty (with a rolling effect on the balls that don't stop where you stop pressing the key for instance). Also I may be overstepping because of the khan academy stuff, but if you're new at this, keep trying: you seem to be good at it :)
@kalcoslinder The new levels are fun to play too :) If you ever decide to add more please tag me again. I think it would also be great to have a key to restart the level.
@kalcoslinder It's great to see a new element of gameplay. The level 7 look a lot like the level 6 so it wasn't really a challenge for me. Overall I think it's still a bit easy for a hard version :p.
Interesting game! I never saw one like it with that concept. It was fun but very short, and it may not fit the theme, but if there were many more levels, better visuals and more ways to play around the game's mechanic, it'd probably be an amazing puzzle game~ Definitely a 5/5 innovation and 4/5 fun for this one, despite how short and easy it is.

Would really like to see expanded to include further levels/areas.
Thank you for all of your feedback. Here is an updated version that I created post jam that includes more levels.
