Extremely difficult, I couldn't get past 3 or 4 captures before I was hit and the meter was reset completely. I liked the concept, and I liked the F Graded paper transition between games. I don't know if the meter had to be full to get a +1 to size, but I didn't notice any growth. Overall, not a bad game, just extremely difficult !

Quite hard but at the same time really addicting! The How-To page doesn't seem to tell you about all the mechanics, but besides that it's great fun.

Damn this is insanely hard.
But it's cute, the music is adorable and the teacher gameplay is a really smart idea !

Fun game and cool concept, but way too difficult. The ability to move diagonally would have been extremely helpful.

I had a lot of fun with this entry, it reminds me a lot of older web games. In a good way, I assure you. My only complaint was that it was way too hard. I'd suggest having being hit not take you back all the way to the bottom (maybe just take a chunk of the meter), and some diagonal movement as well.

I know the game it's a bit hard, but i didn't have much time to balance it, i'm sorry!
I also didn't have time to make Square moves diagonally.
@Gravity, the bully that are just one level more than u will only empty the meter!

Way too difficult, one mistake causing you to start the entire game over is just sadistic.

That said, though, the general mechanic of the game, eating smaller guys and dodging bigger guys, is pretty fun.

I was hoping to see my own square growing and the game didnt disappoint me :)
Loved the ending where you kicked the teacher to smithereens :D

Idea it's original but I think it's as difficult as Twitch play Dark Souls... When you grow up, crashing once means a hard punishment.

Overall a nice work!

Very cool and addictive game. I did not immediately understand that you can hide in the lockers, but once I got the hang of it this was a really cool mechanic. That the others look left/right before disappearing in the lockers is really well done. as others mentioned, it is quite hard - to hard for me to finish the game.

Fun and addictive but way too hard. I could see this as a cool mobile game, but the difficulty would need to be nerfed! I like the game otherwise.

Although rather enjoyable it is extremely difficult and the fact that they almost move at the same speed as you do means that sometimes the game just checkmates you... and then you start over.
Or maybe I'm just not ninja enough :)

Too difficult, theres a factor of addiction in there. Maybe try not to randomize the spawn rates and add a pattern. There are so many instances where it's impossible to avoid anything. Not to mention the controls are really wonky. Diagonal movement might help. Good luck on your future games xD

Fun idea and well executed! It was a little too hard though, perhaps you could stay on your current level when you die? I found starting again very tedious. Music was well done!

Wow, now that was challenging. But all the same, really cool idea, and great execution! I had a lot of fun with it!

You could make it easier to play initially and then increase the difficulty the larger you get. Overall a good concept though and the music really suited it.

Needs a difficulty curve. Its ok for it to be hard, but should have some ramp up so players can get accustomed to the mechanics. -oTiS
