Fun unique game, but it feels like movement is too random. Style & music are great.

How does your game fit the theme?
"Scale" can refer to scalling a wall or a mountain. The core gameplay mechanic is building handles to help the mouse scale the cheese., which is almost exactly the theme definition. This is the definition we were going for. The game also plays with scales by the use of the giant wall of cheese and the cat, along with oddly sized obstacles.

Salut merci du retour !
C'est vrai qu'on comprend pas toujours directement faudrait ajouter une meilleure introduction au jeu après la jam :/
Pour le thème le but était justement d'essayer d'être original en détournant le sens du thème avec l'idée de construire en plaçant des prises (built) pour gravir la montage (to scale). Après c'est vrai que ça aurait pu être mieux intégré au gameplay, merci de la remarque j'essayerais de faire mieux à ma 2ème game jam !
Hey thanks!!
About the controls, we have to do a better tutorial ofter the jam. You had to click in the green triangle to move the mouse. The direction is random, but you control the intensity. You can place your hold further in the triangle to go faster and farther, or closer to avoid obstacles. You can take your time, but not too much, or the cat will attack! :0
If you want you can play it again to have a better experience if my explanation is clear

Thanks! Yep there's work to do on the tutorial after the game jam, some people understand straight away while others don't.

Wow thanks, it's our first game jam, so I'm very glad to hear that! And about the difficulty, yes it can be a little hard, I would like to add a checkpoint and a simpler level design around halfway through the game but it's too late :( So it will be done after the jam :/
So don't hesitate to come back after the jam, the little ending cutscene is nice :D
Thank you for your feedback!! Indeed, it may be a problem that it is not necessarily very understandable. The mouse wants to go in a random direction, then we must place a hold in this direction delimited by this green triangle. The only thing we can control is the intensity. If we move the mouse far or near its original position. It is with this mechanism that we progress by avoiding obstacles despite the randomness of the direction.
