Cool idea! Coupling the power-ups with the getting bigger mechanic is an interesting idea.

I like the concept. I think "absorbing" object to power up is such a nice approach; and if you combine it with presentation and music, the results tend to be nice - so is this game. Good job :D

I like it! The music aspect is fun, and to disagree with the comment below I think coupling the growth to other things makes the choices more interesting!

I got stuck in the first level with the spikes and it seems like I have to just start the whole thing over? I'd love to just start from that level instead!

You can press R to restart a level. I should probably have put that somewhere but I forgot sorry

It's so easy to forget to put things like that in the description especially in the rush to publish right at the end! Good job though!

I think the biggest advice I can give is decoupling  the number of orbs from growth - the increased size makes it more difficult to not get hit, to jump (floor detection is off there), and just to move around. The bows/arrows fire too quickly, and are too fast to really work with them. It would also be good to be able to see which orbs have been absorbed.

I think this is a good start as a game, and an interesting concept.

Well this was a fun concept. Seemed interesting to get new powers over time. Good mix of puzzle and action. Wish there was some more juice to it. Good job overall.
