How does your game fit the theme?
Our game perfectly embodies the "Built To Scale" theme in several ways. Firstly, the emojis in our game physically increase in size as they appear, directly reflecting the concept of scaling. This visual growth adds a dynamic element to the gameplay and emphasizes the impact each emoji has on the ghost’s emotional state. Secondly, the emotion meter is a key feature that scales with the player's actions. As the ghost collects positive or negative emojis, the meter scales up or down, visually representing the shift from a happy mood to a sad mood and vice versa. This scaling of emotions ties directly into the theme, as it illustrates how the accumulation of small actions can lead to significant changes in the overall mood and game outcome. Finally, the increasing difficulty level is another aspect that resonates with the "Built To Scale" theme. As players progress through the game, the challenges scale up with more emojis, shorter time intervals, and more complex targets. This gradual escalation ensures that the game grows with the player’s abilities, offering a scaled experience that is both engaging and challenging.

The music and atmosphere were very good! I felt like it took me awhile to catch on to what I was supposed to be doing and I didn't really understand why I died.
