A very charming platforming! Love that there is a scale at the top that shows how big I want the square to be; a little touch but really helping in terms of player experience. The level progression feels a bit slow at the start, maybe you can skip the first two levels of tutorial if you want to showcase the scaling system right away as your game's special ability. Good job for finishing the game! :)

Thank you! The box scaling meter wasn't originally intended, and a bit of a pain to implement with GameMaker, so I really appreciate your compliment! And yeah, the first couple levels are admittedly trivial to anyone who has played a 2D platformer. The idea was to briefly introduce the moving/jumping controls before getting to the meat of the game. Perhaps teaching that in the menu screen is more appropriate.
