It took me over 30 minutes but I managed to complete it 😱

This is definitely what Magikarp Jump should have been, nice work!

Magikarp Jump was part of the inspiration board for this game actually so that's quite the praise! Used to play it a lot when it came out. Thanks for playing!

Love lots of scale language on the itch page. Good tutorialization, I love the run timer and progress bar on the right. Checkpoints helped, I'm falling a lot. I appreciate that the walls push the fish towards the center of the platform. I didn't find myself switching sides much but instead just waiting for the platform to be in the right place. Reloaded to play in Assist mode. I would sometimes be on a platform at the wrong position and couldn't reach the scale. Flutter making the fish flap its "wings" is adorable. Made it about halfway up the progress bar. Great job!

You're Scale the Fish, you scale the world, you collect scales to scale your abilities, you scale in size when you eat food.

Super chill game. Easy to pick up and play. Great vibe! Is there any benefit to making the fish larger?

I ended up running out of time so the additional scale does not currently add any benefits. Thanks for playing!
