Marvelous Magical Magnifier

My entry for the GMTK Game Jam 2024 - "Built to Scale"

Go on an adventure with the Marvelous Magical Magnifier, shrinking and growing to explore the world at different scales.

Controls

Move - Cursor keys or A/D
Jump - Up or W or Space
Left Mouse Button - First click activates the magnifier (after collected), second click shrinks or grows
Right Mouse Button - Flips the magnifier between shrinking and growing
Escape - Deactivates magnifier
M - Toggle music on/off

⚠️ Note to MacOS users

There is a problem in Chrome versions < 128 on MacOS that causes the game to crash once you activate the magnifier. Make sure to update to the latest version of Chrome if you run into this problem.
