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.

Very trippy fx, nice job!
Thanks
"Scale window" is actually crazy, in a good way though. Game was really good but the mushroom miniboss went from easy to ridiculously hard immediately because it spawned like 20 enemies at once. Still, a great entry
Thanks! sometimes the difficulty can get weird because we didn't have much time to playtest :c
I liked the execution, the UI felt pretty polished, the theme was heavily taken into account. I can only suggest adding screen shake and enemy death particles.
Thank you for your feedback, we will take it into consideration
Seriously fun game!!
Thanks!
very nice concept
Thanks!
WINDOW SCALE DOWN
Hilarious!! What a rad style with some humor thrown into the mix. That epilepsy warning was a definitely a wise design design given the visuals.
Thanks, we thought that epilepsy warning was necessary, even if only for a limited period of time.
Please think about rating our game as well!
Welcome to the goo club ;) for real tho, super cool game! The perfect kind of stressful.
Thanks! We would be very grateful if you could also show your thoughts with rate our game.
Played and rate :) We'd love if you could take a look at ours as well! Anything to keep the goo brotherhood alive
Was a great bullet hell, and the music gave a great vibe
Thanks!
Pretty fun!
Thanks!
Nice work on the vibe of the game, and for the event system!
Thanks! We would be very grateful if you could also show your thoughts with rate our game.
Of course, sorry!
wooow, creative! Super trippy great job
Thanks!
epilepsy warning 10/10 :D
I mean, if you've seen the game, you understand why we're doing this :)
This is a gamified acid trip and I love it!
Thanks!
Very creative game! I like everything about it - the music, trippy background and most of all this randomness when it comes to the concept of “scaling” - perfectly reflects the theme of this year's Game Jam. I only have one “but” - why do we have to shoot such cute doggies?! Couldn't they be some monsters? :C
Great job anyway and good luck in next projects!
Thanks for your feedback! Dogs are cute, but they attack us soooo...
Fun top-down shooter!
Thanks!
Great music, and the gun feel is really good for a game jam game
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it.
Very cool game. I like the mechanic where random things start to scale the ability doesn't really feel like it has to be used much I kinda forget it exists. I really like the wide range of weapons there are. And the visuals look amazing, very well done!
I'm so glad you like it.
A real banger! Loved the musics.
what better way to fight than with metal music
Pretty fun top-down shooter with constant scale modifiers. I like the ammo UI a lot when ammo is consumed and reloading with the little pallets.
Thanks!
nice one i love how it start's slow and then it turns into a mess
Thanks!
