Star Scaler

A space bullet-hell shooter made for the 2024 GMTK game jam. Star Scaler features 5+ weapons each with powerful unique secondaries, random weapon drops and multiple enemy types. As you shoot, you gain size, and using your weapons makes you shrink. A large element of the game is trying to balance your size.

How to play

Your goal is to survive as long as you can, fighting off waves of enemies. Each enemy you shoot will cause you to grow while using your warp, reloading, or using your secondary will make you shrink. Being smaller lets you maneuver better, but if you shrink too far, you won't be able to reload

Shoot space junk to get a new weapons (you will lose your old one)
