How does your game fit the theme?
Scale Event Starting! is a game that is constantly in action, as you can tell from the name of the game. The main reason for this action is the event system and boss battles that take place every 10 seconds. Designing the events and organizing the boss battles fits in with the GMTK Game Jam 2024 “Built to Scale” theme as Scale means that the character is in scale (power-up), the dimensions are in scale, the time is in scale, the music is in scale and of course the battles are in scale.

So much going on, I didn't know what was happening! Good job.
Great fun! Scale overload
It is a realy fun top-down shooter, realy chaotic, realy high energy, everything scales, it's perfect!
There is also a cool slime :)
It was really a fun game and everything was properly placed.
the "oof" sound just made me laugh. Over all love the idea, the SFX of the guns and the physics of the bullet are top notch. the slow mo part feels im like playing max payne
From ammo scale to difficulty scale to size scale - that's definitely the most amount of "scale types" in the same game I have seen in the jam so far hahaha. Nice job on the game - I actually had a lot fun with it. 😊
Insanely chaotic, but couldn't help but keep playing! I feel you could scrap the slow-mo button as I personally felt like having it gone would only add an extra level of intense chaos which is exactly what this game is all about! (or even add to the theme by having enemies grow or having you shrink in size) Not sure if that is included in the game as the events you get are random, but overall great work! :)
Pretty fun! Random events also add some unpredictability to keep me on the toes.
Fun game! When I started the game I though "huh an epilepsy warning in a game jam game?", but then I pressed ok and understood why hehe.
Great game! My only feedback is, with all the great effects and juice in the game, I'd love to see the enemies burst into pixels when I shoot them. Seems odd they just blip out of existence.
Nice graphics, but I had a lot of trouble parseing the game.
Amazing artstyle and gameplay loop. I sucked at it, but I really enjoyed it.
Great job! It was really fun to play! =)
What do you mean you're scaling my window? 😂
Real talk tho, that was great! The game is driping with polish!
Scaled ammos has a soft spot in my heart. xD
The art looks really cool, also is very well polished, style is cool, well done!
Heh! Really neat and well polished. Great visuals.
I really really liked this game! My only note is that during the screen scale down, my mouse position doesn't seem to be being tracked correctly. Good job!!
Whoa, this is so cool and cute and super polished.
I liked how the game has progressed but that camera shake man... it messed up my move hard. lol
Everything is scaled, but yes, the camera seems to be a bit too much, I hope it doesn't bother you too much. Thank you for your feedback!
The fact that you scaled my window down is a crazy breaking of the fourth wall, really enjoyed your game. Great entry!
Thanks!
really love the artstyle! very unique gameplay is fun, especially when difficulty scales and there are more things to do
Thanks!
