Neat game. I had trouble noticing when / where power-ups had spawned, some kind of animation on the power-ups themselves or just a temporary visual effect of some kind when they spawned would be nice. Cool concept, bullet hell but you slowly get worse at dodging was surprisingly fun! Boss fight was pretty fun, I think if instead of the whole arena being a shrink zone, you could have had specific areas be shrink zones. Then  boss attacks would move you out of it, and you'd need to find your way back into them. Overall though, nice work!

I like the concept of this game, but I think it could use a few tweaks: I would include some instructions about to shrinking power up, you mentioned trying to stay small in the description, but no mention of how to actually do that. I would also make the enemies, projectiles, and power-ups stand out more against the background so they are more noticeable, and lastly I would make the shrinking power-up appear more often. When  you get too large, there's nothing you can do to dodge bullets and without a power-up on the map, you can shrink to fix that. I really like the concept and the artwork though!

A little instruction on how to shrink by getting in blue circles would help. Powerups seem disproportionately small, perhaps make larger and shrink as game progresses. Laser sounds a little high pitched and monotonous getting to point of being annoying. Player feels sluggish, perhaps make a bit faster or give speed boosts. Perhaps make faster but player slows as they get bigger.
