Jumping World Burns by mrjorts
Here's a two button platformer where you start out without your abilities and have to find them around the level. It plays on both the two button and growing themes.
I tried to come up with interesting levels based on restricting certain abilities, although the level design was the thing that suffered most due to time.
NOTE: I was only able to test the mac build of this. It's Unity, so the Windows and Linux ones should work fine, but please let me know if there's a problem with them.

Fudster, I agree that the controls might not be great :p I wanted to try using both themes, so I stuck to 2 buttons, but if I were to keep developing the game I'd give it more traditional controls.
Garrison, for the music in the levels I used an iPad program called Korg Gadget. Really good for quickly making synthesizer music. The music in the menu is just a guitar with 3 different reverbs put on top of it.
I thought you did a really nice job having different mixes of the abilities across the levels and making puzzles out of them. Things like having the double/air jump but no regular jump were a clever twist.
I felt like there was a bit of an issue with the character losing momentum when trying to move through the air sometimes so if you were to come to this, I'd suggest taking a look at making the controls a little tighter.
Good stuff, well done! :)
You definitely put a lot of effort into it. When I look at the black and white mini levels from my game, I think that this one was 10 times the work.
Overall great entry!
