Nice game, cool mechanics. I think from a design perspective, it might be better to make the shape appear and increase in size WITHOUT holding the left click. Pressing left click would then activate the shape(even if it's not the full size yet). It's essentially the same control scheme, but I don't need to keep my mouse pressed constantly.

Thanks for playing!
That makes sense - it would make it less tedious to perform and its the main thing you do in the game after all. But at the same time, holding the button better correlates with the fantasy of increasing size. For me, the action comes from the player instead of happening on its own.
Surely something worth pondering upon, thanks!
