L-scale

L-scale

Tiny game made for the 2024 GMTK game jam, with the topic "built to scale", where it ranked #4432 out of ~7600. This game is about constructing fractals, which are self-similar at all scales, and their parts grow exponentially.

The goal is choosing shapes that can grow as much as possible with the constraint of avoiding some random blue spots.

How to play

You can play online, or you can download the binaries and play on linux, windows or mac.

This is a puzzle game, where you mark some initial points (orange circles) and a nesting level, and a fractal shape will be generated. The goal is to cover as much space as possible without overlapping with the targets (randomly generated blue spots).

Everytime you add another target you'll increase your score. The more initial points and nesting, the higher the score. See how far you can get!
