the blue background makes it a bit hard to see because of how dark it is, I would recommend a light mode that brightens the background
Can u pls make it so it saves?
Alot of the early tooltips say a button gives 100x/s, but it really gives 200x/s... DNA is the exception and really DOES give 100x/s...
Then Mario Mutation (6th coin button) says it costs DNA, but it really costs Coins...
I just ran into this bug as well...
Never mind! :)
:)
Is there anything beyond sprinting?
New buttons are unlocked when your newest button has 5 levels... or from a Shrinker goal... in my experience... but some of the tooltips and cost icons are inaccurate (just made a post about Mario Mutation)...
I think there are 3-4 different resources and ~7 buttons/increasers per resource... haven't finished the game yet...
if this gets 100 upvotes I will shrink myself to the size of a grain of sand.
at size 12 the size of step is 0m but still is going up
what's the point of gold?
as you unlock new generators, some generators require gold to buy them

8/18/20: updated screenshots and information, no updates to the actual game until after the game jam is over -> 8/21/20
Thanks for trying out my game!
NOTE: if you switch to a new tab in the same window as this game, the game pauses. BUT, if you open a new window/program to browse the internet, the game continues to run. I'll see what i can do to fix this and update it after the game jam is over and also add offline progress when the tab is closed
Hover over the button to see how much each generator makes
Also, there is a problem where window size is expanded farther than supposed to be so ignore the "Size of step: 2 meters" in the bottom right corner. (This bug is further impacted with higher res (4k display causes the game to be super small->fix is to decrease screen resolution of computer[will be fixed])
UI: Mario Mutation cost is in gold not DNA as indicated

IDEA
For the 48hr Incremental Game Jam, I(Folly) and Horstusius brainstormed an idea where there's this scientist that wants to perfect their shrink ray invention. To do so, they must power it up by running 10km hamster wheel style. Then using their invention on themselves to experiment. However, by becoming smaller, it takes them longer to run the distance. As they get smaller, it allows them to do special things due to their diminished size.
