[EngmaEmperor]

cant wait to see the prompt interpreted as "Shoot to Move" again

[glitchagon]

before i stayed awake for two days straight because of this jam. now thankfully because of the jam being 4 days, i can now be sleep-deprived for double the time!

[diguififficial]

there should be a "solo" category.. every year, we lone wolves stand no chance

scale = Weight
scale = Climbing (scaling up a wall)

IM SO STOKED!!! It’s been 3 years since the birth of our son and this is the first time I’ve managed to get a babysitter for the event!

[ansonchan]

This will be my first GMTK gamejam! I am so excited

[siddharthmishra]

I missed this jam this year, will come back in 2025 !

[funkypinku]

cant wait for jonas to get a 100 people team for this one

[Martin-fbpb]

I'm betting there will be a game fully based off the Rythm Heaven minigame literally called "Built to Scale"

[jj]

Scale can mean: size, resize, scope, to climb, instrument for measuring, the plates covering the skin of fish and reptiles, the removal of such plates.... this is going to be a fun one
EDIT: and musical scales, as someone mentioned, good call

[Galb]

Quickly teaching my dad Unity because it sounds like a fun bonding activity

I’m unable to participate this weekend, but we all know that seeing the theme is the best part of every game jam!! It can only go one way after that, which is downhill…

[jvjackal]

Bruh this got recommended to me 4 days later 💀💀💀💀💀💀

[SnoFitzroy]

"you have four days-"

"Uploaded: 4 days ago"

DAMMIT

That Superliminal clip has me thinking of a puzzle game where you can "grab" objects from any distance and then "drag and drop" them around your POV as if it were a 2D scene, with the object remaining a fixed _screen_ size while you are manipulating it, but depending on where you set it down, the object could become larger (or smaller) than before.

...Note this is just me spitballing a central _idea_ and not how the actual game mechanic would work.

"Built to Scale"
Is this a Rhythm Heaven tribute?

0:47 unlocked a core memory of playing Flower in high school with like 6 friends, with a fan set up to blow in our faces so we could feel like we were the petals. Incredible game tbh.

Hi, as I followed you on nebula I didn’t saw the jam theme announcement. It would be great if the two platforms had the announcement, this way I don’t have to double check between the two apps

[Mixi_Hazbin]

0:47 it's been ages since I last seen that game.

I'd have made a game where you climb (scale) a giant wall of musical notes (scale) while being pursued by a dragon (with scales). If the wall and dragon are huge, and the player is tiny, that's another scale right there.
