Scorch & Scale

Scorch&Scale is my entry for the GMTK Game Jam 2024, created in just 48 hours on the theme "BUILT TO SCALE."

Big Projectiles are used to kill enemies and click the button.

Small Projectiles are used to move.

    

Trapped and crippled by a cunning knight, you play as a resilient wizard with broken legs, unable to walk. But all is not lost! Armed with your trusty wand, you must shoot scalable fireballs to navigate through challenging levels, overcoming obstacles and enemies that stand in your way.

The twist? These fireballs aren’t just weapons; they’re your only means of movement. Scale your projectiles to create platforms, destroy barriers, and outsmart your foes. Master the art of scaling fireballs to traverse treacherous terrain, from towering cliffs to bottomless pits. Each level challenges you to think creatively, combining precision and timing to progress.

Features:

• Unique Scaling Mechanic: Fireballs can be scaled up or down, affecting their power, speed, and utility.
• Challenging Levels: Navigate a series of increasingly difficult levels that test your mastery of the fireball mechanic.
• Immersive Soundtrack: Experience the magical world with an atmospheric soundtrack that heightens the tension.
• A Race Against Time: Can you escape the knight’s trap and reclaim your freedom?

Controls:

• Mouse: Aim and scale fireballs
• Left Click: Shoot & Scale fireballs

Dive into this fast-paced, puzzle-platformer where your wits and reflexes will be tested to their limits. Will you harness the power of fire to escape, or will the knight’s trap be your end
