SCALE

(Slime Can Appreciate Life Experience)


Description

Play as an emotionless slime that can scale up in size to overcome environmental obstacles. Uncover hidden secrets on your journey to the end!

I created this for #githubgameoff 2023 over a very intense 3 week period! Once the game jam wraps I will continue development to improve some glaring shortcomings and to improve the experience overall.

Update: I've released an  update post-submission deadline to address accessibility feedback.  Changes are as follows:

  • added W key binding for Toggle Size to enable one-handed keyboard play
  • simplify dash input mechanism

Install instructions

Hello! I've developed this entirely on Mac and have verified that both the Apple Silicon and Apple Intel64 builds work as expected.

As for Windows and Linux, I've created the builds in Unity and zipped them as explained by itch.io upload guides but have not been able to verify them.  Hopefully I will be able to do this soon.

Thank you for understanding!

Adding coyote time would make it feel much better to play.

Definitely. I’ve added it in a PR but didn’t get it in before the deadline. Will update once the game jam ends.

Nice game :-)
would be great if there was an alternative end, regarding the things thesigns are hinting at :-)

I totally agree!  I just ran out of time and needed to put some sort of ending in place before submitting to the jam.  But I will continue to polish this after the jam is over, including more content and a better ending.
