DEVLOG#2 - core gameplay

Topino updates!

As the GMTK 2024 theme was about scale,  the very core mechanic is to make Topino bigger or smaller.

Eat cheese to grow up, and drink wine to size down (or red potion, I don't know yet which one I'll keep). But too much of either one, and Topino meets a nasty fate.  Changing size also affects his ability to jump and catch objects. The bigger it is, the heavier and the stronger it becomes.

In the demo, too much cheese and the little mouse blows up, and too much wine (or red potion), and Topino shrinks to the size of an atom. For sure, I'll keep the feature on which one Topino shrinks too much, but for the opposite situation, I want to find something other than killing the little mouse. I think about growing so much that the level is destroyed, or Topino gets trapped and can't move anymore.

What would be your idea?
