That was a lot more fun than I expected it to be, and somehow very relaxing as well. Great work!

Would have also fit the theme "death is not an end" because then you restart it again and know what you should have done the first time, instead of understanding what is was you should have done in the first place. maybe i the game was zoomed out a bit more

Pretty cool game, took me a little while to get into it but it was worthwhile, with some wiggling around with sizes I made it through 3 or 4 levels, the audio certainly helped out with keeping me from raging at the lil guy when he stopped moving, good game!

Nice little game. I got myself stuck with not enough slope to roll too many times. The music was amazing.

I enjoyed that. I really like the exploration mechanic.
Completed one level by glitching the physics with growing too big for the space I was in.
Also completely failed the gethigh level. I'm glad you added the level select so I could skip it.

Great game! Reminds me a lot of line rider and happy wheels. Sound and visuals is well done too, great job!

This was a really solid game! I wish you had spent some more time on the levels, or at least ramped up the difficulty. I wasn't able to finish a level after several tries until the later ones. Great job!

This is fantastic. The game is fun to play, I can't believe it comes with a level editor, and the music... That main theme with the shimmering guitar ringing out is stunningly beautiful. Awesome game.

So this game seems to be heavily inspired by LineRider but that's fine because that's a cool concept. The game's art style didn't really blow me away, and the audio for me was infuriatingly annoying. The mood was okay, you're a a circle riding down a line, not much to call a mood.

However, I had a lot of fun while playing, I really like the fact that you guys made a level editor and that is a really big plus in my book. Not very innovative controls, the growing mechanic was a bit glitchy, but overall a solid concept and a good time!

With some improvements to the controls, the art style and the audio this could be a really great game. Also, with the addition of maybe being able to save a levels and share them with others that would add a lot to the longevity and replayability of the game.

Overall I'm rating this game high for potential, although some parts of this game needs polish.

Thanks for a solid entry! I hope to see your games in future Ludum Dares as well! :)

Really nice mood to this, and the growing shrinking mechanic is fiendish at times :) I wish I didn't need so much trial and error, but it was fun trying to figure out when and where I should expand/shrink

Great game! With it's little bugs and strange graphics and sounds it's really fun!
It would be great to see a restart button here and restart level when you fall over the edge
Also, what was that colored squares ?:) And why they make "ep,ep" sound when you step on them? :)

I liked how this did a great job with the theme. Especially on the 4th level where you go down the ramp and have to size wobble to make the jump, then resize him so that he can go through the color blocks. Loved the chaulkboard art too. The music set the mood. Overall a great job.
