❤ Gameplay Mechanics

You can increase the protagonist's size by consuming various items like enemies, food, and other objects. As the protagonist grows larger, their physical attacks become more powerful, but they also become a bigger target and are more vulnerable to certain attacks. Managing the protagonist's size and "fullness" meter is a key part of the gameplay loop.

❤ Platforming and Combat

The game blends platforming and beat-em-up style combat. The protagonist can jump, double jump, and perform ground pounds to traverse the levels. The platforming requires precision, as there are many hazards and enemies to avoid. In combat, the protagonist has a basic punch combo that can defeat foes. Certain enemy types are more vulnerable to the protagonist's larger size, allowing them to squash or body slam them. The protagonist can also unlock special abilities like fireballs to aid in combat.

❤ Exploration and Progression

The game has a Metroidvania-style structure, with different zones to explore on the island. As the protagonist gains new abilities, they can access previously blocked off areas, finding secrets, upgrades, and new NPCs to interact with. Completing objectives and helping the island's residents allows the protagonist's home village to expand and thrive. The progression system lets players unlock new attacks, increase stats, and customize the protagonist's capabilities.

❤ Risk vs. Reward

A key aspect of the gameplay is the risk/reward balance of the protagonist's size. While growing larger makes the protagonist stronger, it also makes them more vulnerable to attacks that deal extra damage to their bulbous frame. Certain enemies will also try to force-feed the protagonist to make them explode. Players must carefully manage the protagonist's size and fullness meter, deciding when to get big and when to stay smaller and more agile.

❤ Challenging Bosses

Each zone of the island features a unique boss encounter that tests the player's mastery of the protagonist's abilities. These bosses have their own patterns and attack styles that players must learn to overcome. Defeating bosses often requires using the protagonist's size and other mechanics in creative ways, adding an extra layer of challenge and satisfaction.
