How does your game fit the theme?
We went with a more literal interpretation of the theme - our game revolves around and ant that has to build in order to scale a large tree. We also played with size contrast by using tiny characters in a human scale environment, and having the score counter be measured in centimeters.

Fun game, Love the art and the music. The game was difficult but fun to try and make a cost effective path with cheaper blocks. Good job!

Difficult but quite funny, I only did few meters because platforms would all tremble or straight spike lol

Nicely done, good job !

Fun game, but I feel like it would be better if coins were more abundant.

The Factory Must Scale

Its a very neat little game but way too difficult for me. You should probably tone done the difficulty a bit.

That is exactly the plan! As soon as possible a build with updated balancing will be posted

Great to hear! I think that will make it a really fun and super enjoyable small game. It works really well.

Great game! I love your drawings; they’re very beautiful 🤩
But I don’t know if it’s just me, I find it very, very difficult ^^

Thank you so much! (I am the visual artist) and yes it is very very hard as of now! As soon as possible I want to update the game and make it balanced as well as adding a controls screen. Thank you so much for playing ^^

Super fun, a bit frustrating at times, like the spiky platforms also killing you if you go too much to the sides or not so responsive movements betraying you at times (i feel a little bit more playtesting would help a lot). In any case, super creative and see how this could become a bigger game. Love the artwork too!

Super creative idea, I feel like you could do a ton with it. The one thing that holds the game back is the character movement. The game should have coyote time and buffered jump probably. Besides that, excellent.

That's also my main gripes with it, we didn't have much time to playtest before submitting but that's absolutely the immediate thing I'd change about it

poryphyr73Developer112 days ago

Buffered jump for sure could have been in there, I didn't want it at the time but I see how useful it could have been now. The game does have coyote time, but it was only set to about 0.1 seconds upon build. I appreciate the review, the game would have benefitted from playtesters like yourself!

Thnak you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and i'll give yours a try as soon as possible!

felt a bit too punishing but was very creative and was a cool twist on the theme

Bruno Rubim113 days ago

Thank you, we didn't have much time to test it and we plan on making it less punishing ASAP but I'm happy you enjoyed it none the less!
