Looks neat.
May be its just me but I failed to understood how the attract and repel direction work. When I right-click on the top of the character, it always go in random directions. May be I am playing it completely wrong.

Really well done in many ways, but I think this isn't about 2 buttons or growing. But it's amazing, specially in it's level design. Got too hard for me to do the combos, and maybe improving it's movimentation would make it much more better than it already is. Keep up with the awesome work!

That's very original and working mechanic ! A bit sad how much it repels/attract you is a bit counter intuitive : sometimes I feel it was repeling/attracting me way too hard/way too weak.
