Ah, a fellow pufferfish-game-maker as another commenter said. I like your implementation of a very similar idea to what we had.

Really fun and simple game. Love the random levels and easy to pick up-ness of the mechanics. A great game.

I did get a little frustrated with the small red flashing dots and trying to time things to get by them but that is more of a skill issue. Honestly, my biggest complaint is that it can go a bit too fast at times preventing you from really having time to react to what is coming up.

Still, loved the game and really enjoyed playing it.

Ah, a fellow pufferfish-game-maker :D. Really like this, such a simple mechanic with lots of depth to it. 

I can't decide whether I find this game really enjoyable or incredibly frustrating (it's the former). The random nature of the level generation did seem to have a big imapct on the length of my runs and I found a couple obstacles constanstly causing my demise, but with practice I imagine that would be less of an issue.

I think this game can be one of that fits better the theme. Congrats! This concept is very simple and fun. Keep developing, because will be easy to make a mobile port using a tap function and you could earn much money haha.

loved the simple mechanic, and you chose a wonderfully satisfying sound for the puffing/deflating!

would be nice if there was a way the player could get some warning of what danger is coming next, because a lot of times I found myself falling right into some random spikes and the red things.

had some fun regardless, good job!

Love the simplicity and how addicting the game is. I could really get lost and keep trying to get further and further. The art style is cute and I like the puffer rolling and bounding around. Would love to see it expanded with more obstacles or areas to traverse through.

Really simple control but fun! I think it is bit too difficult due to the randomness of the spike.

Fun idea, simple controls, unplayably difficult. In this case, simplicity meant that there are un-solvable obstacles that prevent you from winning in most runs

This was a fun game! I liked bouncing around to avoid the spikes

Fun little game, I liked how you had to use the size change in multiple ways to get around stuff

Game works well, relatively fun for a short time. Can't tell if it's infinite, if it is, prob needs a scoring system.
