This one was great. Levels got HARD. When I saw how you're supposed to kill the enemies I smiled. Loved that you could expand in two dimensions.

Wow, this is a great idea. Reminds me of those classic ZX Spectrum games or whatever with the little title at the bottom, like Jet Set Willy or VVVVVV. "Enjoy the ride" was obnoxious but I figured out the rest pretty quick.

You should turn this into a Flash game or something and add some more levels, it's definitely there in terms of concept!

Great change to the puzzle games I have been playing. It is a bit hard to tell when on the walls will kill you and where won't

Whoa, this feels pretty good to play! :O

The graphics are really simple, and that's one thing I'd ask you to "juice up" a bit, but it works perfectly for the game! :)

Nice work on the soundtrack, it's really catchy and well made! Also, controls in the game are really great and the level design is great too, really challenging! That "Enjoy the Ride" level was a REAL challenge haha!

Congrats! :)

I do like the level design and the mechanics are great. However, I do think there is room for improvement on the controls. For horizontal growth, the right arrow key should be used instead of the left. Also, at point of the game when I could only move up, I went up off the screen and nothing I pressed would reset the level.

I do like the game overall though, good job!
