Mixed feelings about this

The premise of the game is fantastic. Cool storyline as well, but there were a few things that sucked. First was the controls. Had a hard time (like many other people it seems) moving in mid-air, landing on platforms. On the same token, even though I thought the graphics were great, they were alittle too cartoonish. It was hard at times to tell where I could walk and where there was a wall. Wasn't that big a deal, really.

But probably the most annoying to me (more of a "WTF?" issue) was the lame points. Why would making a plunger bigger or a patch of grass bigger be lame? And at one spot I was low on power and passed this alien in a cave who was standing over a key. So I kept going, looking for a checkpoint to recharge at, and the game was like "You abandoned that guy back there" and I got evil points. THAT was lame, if anything in this game is.

koolz but i agree with psychohazard

Very cute idea, but physics & gameplay aren't good I kept sliding off platforms, which I hate generally and it happened here more than my usual... But what's worse, I often tried to grow and shrink objects where I could - only to find it was either Lame or Evil for no obvious reason. Eventually I got a totally lame ending and I'm sorry to say I don't have patience to try again.
But I would try a new version of this game, if it overcomes these issues. Solving riddles by growing and shrinking stuff is a cool idea (though I'd like it better without a power limitation), and I liked the graphics and the world setting, and the fact that you can talk to creatures and do quests. if u do make another make it with more powers like a equip button or like thats infamous game were theres powers off good and evil or a shop.anyway heres some ideads

1. make a power of gravity (good)
2.make a power of mindcontrol (evil
3.make a power of telaport (awsome )

bugs

When I get past the loading screen, the screen goes white and the top left corner sas this....
Debug:
That's it. I don't know what to rate it since I never played it, but judging by the title screen, I'll give you a seven.
I hope you get this fixed.
