About

This game was created within 96 hours for GMTK Jam 2024 by a team of eight. Incorporating the jam theme of 'Built to Scale', All Stacked Up is a cosy puzzle platformer that follows a set of Russian Dolls from the smallest size upward, as they navigate cluttered shelves to reunite as one fully-stacked Doll! Each Doll possesses unique abilities and limitations, relative to their size and the surrounding environment; players must stack and unstack the Russian Dolls to manipulate the different obstacles on the shelves, reunite with the biggest Russian Doll and eventually reach their display stand!

How to Play

A / Left Arrow Key to move left

D / Right Arrow Key to move right

SPACE to jump

Q to Stack (jump inside the next biggest size of Russian Doll)

E to Unstack (become the next smallest size of Russian Doll)

ESC to Pause

Moving from left to right, players must navigate the environment from the smallest Russian Doll upwards, taking into account the unique abilities and limitations of each Doll relative to their size.

Doll 1 (small) = Can do a big jump, reach small spaces & can activate small objects.

Doll 2 (medium) = Can do a small jump, be jumped on & can activate larger switches.

Doll 3 (large) = Unable to jump, but can push small & medium obstacles along the shelf.

In order to control each Doll, Doll 1 must be present and acts as the 'driver'. For example, Doll 1 can be controlled on their own, or Doll 2 can be controlled if Doll 1 is stacked inside them.
