The mechanic of scaling the player character perfectly fits the bullet hell genre. It creates some risk-reward scenarios, where the player can sacrifice evasiveness to reduce punishment from mistakes. Though it needs some balancing. At maximum size player gets no damage from most bullets, making the game way too easy. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this game and see some great potential within this idea. Good job!
