Scale of the Abyss

A GMTK 2024 game jam game, made in 48 hours.

Game Overview

The world is collapsing, and everything is shrinking! If you shrink too much, you vanish into nothingness. Your only hope for survival is to avoid damage and collect food to regain your strength and stay in the game.

How to Play:

    Survive the Shrink: Your character and everything around you is constantly shrinking. The more you shrink, the closer you are to disappearing.

    Collect Food: Pick up glowing yellow heart items scattered across the map. These will help you regain mass and prevent you from shrinking out of existence.

    Avoid Damage: Getting hit by enemies causes you to lose mass. However, if you act quickly, you can collect some of the lost mass and avoid total destruction.

    Fight Back: Use your weapons to eliminate enemies before they shrink you down to nothing. Destroying enemies gives you a chance to take their mass.

Controls:

    Aim: Move the mouse to aim your weapon.

    Shoot: Left-click to fire at enemies.

    Move: Use the WASD keys to navigate the shrinking world.
