How does your game fit the theme?
We were inspired by the massive difference in scale between giant monsters in kaiju movies and the humans whose lives they dramatically effect. What if a tiny human could have an equally big affect? We also like the relation of the word “scale” to climbing, as in climbing a mountain. So we thought, what about a game where you climb to the top of an injured giant monster, healing them on the way, making them grateful and friendly?

Love the art style! This is such a well put together entry, well done!
Nice platformer with a beautiful art style : Sonia is so cute and the animations are neat. The syringe mechanic to add a second jump is really fun. Good job !
Really cool and fun game with nice visuals. I like the different types of syringes, and I feel like this is a game that can be easily expanded upon. Very fun!
very
The art style is very good with the one of the coolest color palette I have seen around. Nice idea of platforming, even completed with a storyline! The UI is very minimalistic yet so intuitive. Would really love to play this on switch while laying down on my couch. The movement is smooth and has so much narrative meaning on it. All around, I love it. 5 stars especially for the visuals. Great job! :)
Very cool game about a strong independent reverse Chad doing some cool platforming. The art is nice and features some very sweet voice acting that will touch souls deep down!
Pretty good game. A little more visual audio feedback on interactions would make it eve better!
This was really cute! The logo caught my eye and was happy to see the rest of the game delivered on style too. I enjoyed the idea of jabbing your syringe into the monster as a means of double-jumps, and I think it's a cool concept to expand on with more movement tech!
Very pretty game, and I like the idea of having multiple types of attacks. I have never really seen a climbing mechanic like the needle jump, and I like that you can't just skip every platform with it as sometimes you are forced to engage with other mechanics like the healing of cuts. Really makes you engage with the abilities you are provided with.
Thank you so much for the nice comments and that you noticed the mechanics and like them! I checked your game and it's awesome, great job too ;)
Wow, you even have a story fragment! I like the idea and the style
The art is very nice! I'll have to come back with a mouse to get through the second stage
So glad you enjoyed it! I hope you got to play the whole thing ;)
PART OF THE DEV TEAM HERE!
We appreciate everyone's feedback! Unfortunate that a couple big bugs slipped by us in the rush to finish, and we get that there's literally over 7000 more options. Buuuuuuttttt... if you feel like giving us the best shake possible, here are some tips to have the best experience playing!:
1. Play with a real mouse, not a trackpad.
2. Download rather than playing online.
3. There is always more than one path up. If you fall afoul of the falling barnacles (platforms), try using the needle jump or backtrack a bit to find another path. You won't be stuck. Promise.
4. The blue medicine is for long-range shooting. The green medicine is for healing cuts, you have to sustain your spray to use it. The red medicine is for melting the bugs' armor or short-range killing enemies.
Thanks everyone! Looking forward to playing some games now that we've gotten some sleep! :)
Had issues with the plataformer part. Falling platforms would not respaw, thus soft locking me. No biggie, kill myself and re-do it. But the medicines didnt worked for me, only the one that shoots does something. Awseome concept thoi, would love to see it blossom more S2
woah, it has a story, that's neat, those first enemies blend in a little too much, but other than that, cool game
HAS A GIANT FROG! I LOVE IT!
SO pretty!
It did work very well ! artstyle is cool ! nice and fun
Fun take on the theme backed by a whole story!
Oh wow a story, that's interesting.
And style is nice.
