How does your game fit the theme?
We wanted to do this theme in two different ways, one relating to experiencing the world in a different size as a mouse, with many interactable objects larger than you. The other way is scaling (like in league of legends) where you get stronger as the game goes on. We wanted building to let you scale to the late game. You basically gain buffs for building a fortress and in that way, scale to be stronger and able to survive the increase in attacks.

Cool idea and cute mouse :m

Submitted

Nice artstyle! The theme isn't too obvious to me. I'm just assuming that building things out of random items is the application of "Built to Scale"

Developer

Thank you very much! Yeah! We had two takes on built to scale! Our more normal take on Built to Scale where user is supposed to be able to experience the world from a different scale (we chose much smaller and in the form of a mouse). Apparently a lot of other people made mouse games surprisingly for this. Our other interpretation was because we're League of Legends players and scaling refers to becoming stronger as the game goes on! We took this in a way where you have to build (a base) in order to scale. I wish I could've coded the building system better but it was our first game jam!

Love the art for the game and the idea to build a mini fortress out of random items is genius.

Developer

Thank you very much! It was a lot of fun coming up with an idea --- and the artist on our team is insane!!! (she's going to art school right now and she's phenomenal :D)

Submitted

I like the idea! I just kept stacking things on top of each other, which seems unlikely to be the intent but I could not figure out what anything did (and I don't remember the combos well enough). It's very cute :)

Immensely charming game! Lovely art and it felt very nice to grow stronger as the game went on

Fun game and cool art!

Thank you so much!!! The artist on our team is too amazing and she managed to pump out the best designs with very little time!!! Big props to her!

Submitted

Fun! :D

Developer

Thank you!!!!

Submitted

That was a fun game with great art!

I could for the life of me not remember the combos so I just stacked everything in a pile, hoping for the best :')

Great job!

Developer

Thanks so much for trying it! I really should have put a combos guide in but I was panicking to submit (I was the only member with the unity projects and was cramming to get everything in there ;w; --- first time Jam)!!! Thank you so much and good luck with future game jams <3!!!

i genuinley shed a tear when the mouse gets hurt. i just want my base :(

Developer(+1)

Glad to see!!! My artist made the cutest mouse animations including the ouch one-- I wish I could've made a slightly better game for her but that'll be in our next game jams!!! Gotta start from somewhere (first time for both of us)!

Submitted

Super cute. The animation that plays when taking damage is great. Fun game!
