The Growing Block by AndreSilvs

[raw]
made by AndreSilvs for LD34 (COMPO)
A puzzle-platformer where you control a block. There are growing zones that make the block grow bigger and shrinking zones that make it grow smaller.

As you get larger you also jump higher but you'll become an easier target for stray projectiles and you'll be unable to move through certain paths. On the other hand if you become too small you won't jump very high. Try to get your size right.

If you spot any bug please leave a comment. Especially collision/input bugs.

How to play:

The block moves on its own and he can't stop moving, though he only starts moving after you click to start the level. Touch the flag in each level to complete it.

Z = Jump | Select Option
X = Change direction | Next Option

"The program can't start because OpenAL32.dll is missing from your computer"

Make sure you run the OpenAL installer. It will create a copy of "OpenAL32.dll" in your system32 folder. And the VS 2015 Redist too.

Cool game, I like the puzzle ideas, even if they are way too hard for me. I always push the wrong button and you have to be prety precise to pass some of the levels. It's the cool game though, keep up the good work.

It's harder than Super Meat Boy! Stucked on the 3rd level, after 50 deaths just passed to the bottom part of the level. Anyway, very interesting game concept.

How/when do the controls not respond?

I thought it was a nice game, the controls were a bit odd to use, and I have seen another game similar in idea to this in the compo already. But overall a very nice game.
