How does your game fit the theme?
The game fits the theme of "Built to Scale" by integrating scaling mechanics directly into both its gameplay and narrative. The robot’s ability to change its size to navigate the factory is a literal embodiment of the theme, allowing it to interact with different environments and solve puzzles by adjusting its scale. This mechanic not only challenges players to think creatively about how to use size to their advantage but also highlights the versatility and design considerations inherent in the robot's construction. Narratively, the game explores the theme of scale through the robot’s journey of self-discovery. As it searches for its origins and encounters the remnants of a predecessor, the robot’s decision to leave the factory signifies a transition from being a part of a designed system to seeking its own path. This evolution reflects the broader theme of scaling beyond one’s initial purpose or constraints, tying together the gameplay and story in a meaningful way.
