SLIME YOURSELF OUT
This game was made from scratch over the weekend using GameMakerStudio2 for the 2024 GMTK Game Jam! The theme was "Built to Scale" So in this game you can shrink and grow your character in order to get through a short gauntlet of puzzle and physics platforming.
Special thanks to Krissy, for making me food all weekend. Nova for drawing the introduction Slide, and ZiiVii for helping come up with the idea for the game and playtesting.
All the music was made and composed by me.
