We strongly recommend standalone builds for better performance and gamepad support.

Downscaled Adventures

Story

Your whole family has shrunk! Explore your house, which now looks like a giant space sheltering weird insects and other animals of all kinds, to find out what happened!

Development status

This game was developed for Lospec Jam 2.

It is currently a prototype only featuring one room and open dialogues. We aim at creating full missions and more rooms to meet other family members.

Known issues

• Transition screen fading does not respect the color palette imposed by the jam (fix is ready, will be applied after the voting phase when game upload is unlocked)
• Collider of toy character is too big
• When skipping dialogues, bubbles appear with visual glitches
• The ant workers don't disappear after accepting to help you (only the ant chief disappears, marking the end of the demo)
• Menus have not been fully adapted to pixel art, so some windows may have weird colors or dimensions

Commands

The standard controls are following Lospec Jam 2 Console Specs and are based on an 8 Button Controller (NES-like: directional pad, 2 main buttons A and B, 2 system buttons Start and Select). Those "official" controls are in bold in the tables below. However, for convenience / accessibility, we also added additional mappings for people playing with SNES-like controllers.

In addition, thanks to Maaack's Menus Template add-on for Godot, you can customize key bindings entirely in the Options > Controls menu.
