Accidentally pushed a block outside the level.....
cool skink though :P

it was sadly very easy to soft lock myself. I was actually expecting the game to start turning into one of those sonic.exe horror games which was very fun. I really liked the transition between levels where the skink grew that actually made me giggle.

I mean you've definitely used scale... very creative, loved it!

Could've benefited from a few tweaks like the filtering of the pixels so they don't get all blurry, but a cute little balancing puzzle nevertheless.

The platforming did make the final level a bit more challenging than I felt it should've been, but I eventually got through it.

Thanks for playing! I agree with your critiques, but time ran out. (It's my first published game, so a good chunk of the time was spent with tutorials.)

I just realized the intended control directions never made it into the final game. Perhaps the throw mechanic wasn't obvious? I edited the game page to include the controls.
