A downloadable game for Windows

Created for Kenny's Game Jam with the theme "Scale".

About the game

ScaleIssue is a little platformer with a big scale issue. It's a game about climbing, collecting, and things getting unnecessarily large.

Scale the high levels, collect coins and avoid enemies that become a bigger threat with every stage. Every level increases the maximum size enemies can reach so test your skills and see how far you can go.

How long can you survive before the scale becomes the real issue?

Game over

You start each run with 3 hearts and 0 coins. 

Getting touched by an enemy costs you 1 heart, but you can recover lost hearts by collecting heart items scattered throughout the levels. Once you have no more hearts left, this run ends and your final score is saved for the current game session. 

You can view it from the main menu and compare the results with previous attempts.
