GMTK Game Jam 2024  - Built to Scale

A short puzzle game where you create patterns using the shadows cast by clouds.  

Estimated playtime: 5 minutes

Xbox controller recommended, but not required.

Jam prompt interpretation: This game requires players to "build" objects using shadows. The player character is relatively small compared to these shadows and is responsible for controlling the clouds that cast them.

This was the first game jam I've participated in! Over the course of four days I spent around 25 hours designing, coding, playtesting, and bugfixing this project. I regret not being able to polish it more, though I am quite pleased with how it turned out on the whole! Special thanks to my roommate who helped playtest and offered feedback.

There is no sound in this game--play your own music for the best experience ; ) 

Do note that I was unable to properly test this game on displays that are greater than 1920x1080. Forgive me if any bizarre formatting happens if you're playing on a larger monitor.
