Congrats on finishing a game! I like that you can change your size but it currently feels pointless to do so. If you'll make a post jam version you could try creating situations were the player has to grow/shrink or at least benefits from doing it. Having a strict time limit is stressfull and does make you feel like you're escaping an explosion which is good. However with these type of games a "Start" and "Try Again" button is certainly important to have.
size changes speed. Timer was quick way to make size matter
interesting game concept, I think an undo button would be great. nice job!
The game just... literally self-destruct on me on my gameplay. I need to restart 3 times to understand the mechanic, because there is no undo button. Might be good to add that in next updates. Quite a simple game to play I think.
ok. from this and other comments, might do this if a i make a post gam version. but, since you can't change during jam, i guess i am stuck with this version for now. but, this game has a very interesting mechanic that i think deserves more exploration, so I'll probably make a post jam version
So I was able to move the first time I played, but couldn't restart on death. I reloaded the page several times to try again but could get the bot to move anymore :(
The scale of the game seems off when I launch the game there's nothing but the mention of self-destruction.
I needed to keep reloading the page to play, which got annoying very quickly, because the game is so quick. However, once you do it, it's finished all too quickly.
