This game was created as my entry into the May 2011 edition of the experimental gameplay workshop. The theme of that months game was 'zoom' so I have created this game called 'The camera makes me fat'. The idea is the zoom makes the main character always look fat (the same size), this allows you to have lots of puzzles centered around this mechanic. The controls are A and D or Left and Right arrow keys to move, space to jump, W and S, up and down, or the mousewheel to zoom in and out.

One of the major headaches was balancing the platformer aspects of the game. Getting the jumps to feel right and improving air control and braking without overriding the physics too much.

The other major headache was designing levels, I thought this part would be easy, it was not. I could have made more levels with more time but this was a prototype anyway

I'll try and put up a few notes about how I did the stranger things in the game later on.
