Scaliaren
WINDOWS VERSION RECOMMENDED! See point 2 in the tutorial below for why!!
In scaliaren your aim is simple: hit the ball into the hole. But that may not always be so easy... blocking your path are keys & locked holes, lasers that will increase or decrease the scale of your ball, tight gaps that you need to squeeze through, and annoying rotating blocks ready to knock your ball back where it came from. Think you can beat the target shot count for each of the 8 levels?
The name scaliaren is a combination of the words "scale" (as the ball changes scale), "billiards" (as you hit a ball into a hole), and "ren" (which is the name of my series of puzzle games).
Controls & Tutorial
Mouse motion and the left mouse button are used for everything (other than on mobile, where the touchscreen is used).
- Click and hold to bring up the targeting line. Release to hit the ball away from where its pulled to. The further back you pull the line, the harder the ball is hit.
- In the WINDOWS VERSION ONLY, you can pull the line beyond the edge of the window. This is why the windows version is recommended, as it can make stronger shots possible than on web / mobile. All turn targets are still possible on web, they're just harder.
- Your goal is to reach the goal hole on a given stage. Simply reaching the goal marks that level with silver, beating the target turn count marks it gold.
- Touching a laser will change the ball's scale, from large (blue), to small (red), to very small (green). Sometimes the ball may be too big to fit through gaps or into the end hole.
- Sometimes the goal is locked, and you must touch the key first to unlock it.
- Click the QUIT button at the top left / right of the screen to exit the level. The button fades out when the mouse is further away, and is always on the opposite side of the screen to where the ball is.

I liked this one, reminds me of golf!
Super fun, probably my favorite in the jam! The spinning walls are pure chaos, love it!
Is a good game, well done!
