That seems simple enough to address though, at least in theory.

*complicated explanation follows, I can simplify if it helps anyone*
If the exemplar "jumping frog" puzzle were used, you could make that solvable by only making the frog ever jump at most to Y-1, where Y is both the vertical axis and a scaling axis that can set an instant death condition. The giantess transform, in this puzzle, could be set to any value Y or over, thus requiring the player to back up and try a different perspective. Plus, with a dynamic puzzle system, this puzzle could further be held back until the player receives the transform ability, or left in-play but unsolvable with the giantess ability.
*end of complicated explanation*

Really, it's all in the implementation; I was going to suggest Java for cross-platform compatibility, but I realize that that's an even bigger pain in the ass.

That being said... if you need anyone to handle text editing, grammar/spelling proofreading, or simply text flow... yo.
