Good looking game with interesting mechanics that are very good on theme for this jam.
I suck at platformers however and never could get the high jump consistently. I think the idea is to jump as the big block and then switch to the small block to gain more height, but it was a hit and miss for me, sometimes getting the height, sometimes not without understanding why.
The game also starts out with a good tutorial, unlocking the abilities when you need them and the player needs to show they understand the ability to progress, however when the real meat of the abilities is unlocked we are not taught how to use it. I got quite stuck after encountering the first skeleton and unlocking the growth ability. The high jump only happened on accident because I was mashing buttons trying to get something to happen.
Adding the high jump tutorial and some music would polish this game a lot.
Besides all the criticism ;P, the game looks great and plays smooth so job well done there !

thank you so much for taking the time to write this detailed feedback. I will revisit how the high jump is introduced to the player. The idea is to press and hold jump and at any time on the way up, press toggle size. You can press toggle size super early in the jump or closer to the peak, just as long as you continue to hold down jump. Thanks again! It helps a lot.
