End my Growth is a pretty solid adventure game that has an interesting gimmick, you can change your kid-size to be normal, small, or large; each of the size changes comes with its own perks and fault, such as affecting your hitbox, jump height, and damage output.
The stages are pretty nice, each having its own theme and features, as well as beautiful visuals that have all been drawn by the creator. As you go through, there are often enemies you have to shoot, once again making you have to decide which size to use for them. The bosses are a main highlight of the game, all of which have multiple phases whilst never actually being too hard, the average beginner should be able to beat this game. I do take one issue though, the controls for the gimmick are pretty weird because it makes you use 1-2-3, it might have been better to place them on something like up and down arrows, or buttons closer to the default fangame controls.
Definitely would recommend this one, a timeless adventure from someone who knows how to make them.

The enemies felt boring, I have a ton of small nitpicks about various things, wasn't a fan of bosses I had fought 10 minutes ago appearing in the final boss.

This game is amazing and I had a smile on my face throughout the whole playthrough. Only flaw I can think of is 2nd boss was the hardest one by far.

Actually not so short adventure game made by Eric for Shortventure contest 2017.
Game is divided in 3 stages and 3 bosses + final boss. Through all the game you have gimmick in which you can change in different kid's forms: small kid, regular one and a big one. Each has its own benefits and can help to make game easier. I should disagree with ElCochran90 that basically you can play only with regular kid and everything is going to be fine. In my opinion, there are a lot of places which are good to change kid's form for different reasons. With small kid it is good to make easier jumps and to be able to dodge everything pretty fast. Big kid is good for bosses, when you want to deal more damage (it helps on second and third bosses). It is interesting to change them, even though I wish it would be more convenient and that you could change while jumping. It also has some skips with small kid, for example in stage 3. And I guess most of the time I was playing with small kid through platforming, and normal and big kid used mostly on bosses. I liked this gimmick.
Speaking about platforming and bosses I should say that platforming was very well-done and I don't have much complain, except for final stage, on which sometimes I had feeling that some parts were not intended with small kid, but some otehrs required squished diagonals for small kid and etc. Also on one screen there are several buttons but you can skip all of those, which seemed very whimsical and strange for me. Bosses are mostly fun, even though second one is the longest and hardest boss in the whole game, but final boss is too easy and quite repetitive, in my opinion. Also game has hilarious story, I should admit.
Overall, it was fun experience, and I don't have much of complain. Since it is my first game, which I play from this creator, I cannot compare it to others, but it is definitely worth trying to for any kind of player, I guess. Highly would recommend.

This is happily received by the community as Erik's best game, and the reasons are very easy to understand: light humor, hand-drawn aesthetics, a funny "story", hidden easter eggs towards other users, great music, good graphics and creative bosses. Making a marathon these days through Erik's games, I must favor the intense experience that Blocktroid 2 was for me, so that one stands as my favorite, but this comes as a second choice.
The gimmick is inventive. It is not as exploited as it should be, and this is a con. You will find yourself playing mostly as regular Kid most of the time because, well, we're used to the little guy. The mechanics for the other two transformations are very well thought out; the problem is that not many situations require it. Bosses are creative bliss, but not as well done as those in Blocktroid 2, and to be honest, the final boss is very disappointing and flawed: Boss 2 poses a bigger challenge and is a longer fight than the final one. Also, as it is Erik's habit, the final boss has the ability to summon past bosses; here, that depends on RNG, so my second attempt at the boss had him summoning bosses over and over again with little time to hit the final boss, and at a time called the first boss three times in a row without him making any attack! This is very tedious. Sure, it is unlikely to happen again, but that doesn't make it impossible. Also, it doesn't have a second phase, which would have made him much more interesting.
Still, for a short-not-so-short adventure, it has its charms and the Cuphead inspiration is even more palpable than ever. Give it a shot: we need inspired artists like Erik and not so many users that copy-paste formats and generic-jumps trash.
