Hyper Small Tattooist: Scales of Pain

Story

You play as Pixie Mixie and Gnome Gerome who run a tattoo shop for orcs!

Make battle tattoos, listen to groovy beats and keep track of the scale of pain!

While your clients look tough, they're actually very sensitive. Make sure you don't cross their pain threshold!

Controls

Mouse movement - Mixie movement

Left mouse button - Gerome movement

Right mouse button - tattooing, done by Gerome under Mixie's supervision 

How to play

Objective

The goal of the game is to create tattoos for all of your clients.

Every client has their own idea for the tattoo, expressed by the description in the top left corner of the game screen.

You're free to interpret the client's wish however you like! There's a couple of things you should keep track of while you work:

1. Scale of pain - tattooing hurts! If this fills up entirely - you lose!

2. Ink - there's only so much you can bring! Once you run out you move on to the next client and the ink gets replenished.

3. Working hours - everybody needs a break! Make sure you finish all the tattoos before the day ends.

This is a GMTK Game Jam 2024 entry!

This year's jam's theme is "built to scale". We interpreted it twofold - size scale (tiny tattooists, huge clients) and the scale of pain.
