For a better experience, download the game and run locally! The web version is missing some juice and decals don't load so you can't see Shrinko's face :(

Currently implemented:

  • Four types of collectables:
    • Stars, Bananas, Jiggies, and the secret Udders.
    • Collect the first three to progress through the game, the udders are not used as of yet (and there aren't enough to complete it yet)
  • Explorable world
    • Although empty in many places currently, the world is fully explorable. Find little hidden areas throughout!

Known Issues:

  • Decals don't load in Web
  • The camera is absolutely garbage, I know this, you know this, I am trying really hard, I guess it's a difficult thing to fix
  • Sometimes you warp to the ground really fast when running off ledges.
  • Growing near walls can quite often launch you, especially in the city
  • Poor performance, this game isn't exactly optimized so there may be screen freezes or jitters

NOTE: There is no end state yet, so once you've crossed the bridge (you'll know) you will have "completed" the current version

That’s awesome, congrats! Yes the camera has issues, but I think you really nailed its reaction to any scale change. It’s feeling very smooth, natural and really produces a sense of scale. There is a sense of wonder exploring all places at different scales that I love. And the aesthetic and music feels cohesive, very familiar and soothing. Love it!

This is pretty fun to explore! Despite having not a lot of puzzles to solve, it’s fun to find the many small secrets. It reminds me of the game Everything.

hell yea

very interested to see where this project goes. 

i would sink hours on end into a full game that had Shrinko's grow/shrink ability!
