Great concept, and very fun to try to figure out how to approach different challenges. I like how forgiving the game is for dying, especially for the boss.
A few small observations:
the VOD is linked below, and will be available for 60 days:

Thank you so much for the feedback!
It was really fun adding some new shapes to my character’s body. I was trying to explore the bottom part of the map, but I struggled to jump into that pit without touching the spikes. At some point, I found myself trying to do it for 5–10 minutes straight 😅. But I love a good challenge — such a great and original game. Well done!
I gave my shroom some big legs to dominate my surroundings! Very neat idea with the "draw-to-adapt" approach.
Really clever idea and well fun to mess around with. Took a minute to wrap my head round the controls but once it clicked I was proper into it. Loved the little bounce on the build effect too, gives it a nice bit of juice. Boss was a good laugh as well. Solid stuff.
Thanks!
Wow, the game is really great!
I love the REALLY original idea, didn't expect it will be so fun to play!
From visual perspective i appreciate you art, clean and amusing. Music make game more enjoyable.
Mechanic of building is well design, i love this effect of zoom to character. Make it more "juicy". What i improve i would keep some small notes with reminder of controls, i did restart game to again understand how to build and gain life.
For sure i would add some extra checkpoint before boss fight (maybe there is but didnt find)
Good job and congratulations on your submission!
Ha-ha, Thank you!
somehow it's freezing my browser and when i downloaded it just crashed.
I like the concept but having the draw mode activated on the other side of the keyboard was uncomfortable. Would've enjoyed something closer like the e key or tab. Was really satisfying to pogo stick the enemies, though. Had to fully pogo the boss on principle. Good work.
Yea, i thought about that but never got around to changing it tho :)
Nice game! super creative idea!
Thanks!
Nice idea, love the graphics. The web version make the browser to freeze. Good job
Interesting idea to add the build feature so you can use it to climb, my screen cut off the text at the top tho so didn't know what i was doing lol. might just be my old laptop that's the problem!
