How it feels

A shooter where your skill literally changes your body size, making experienced players huge targets and beginners tiny, so matches feel surprisingly fair and playful.

About

Each weapon hit transfers mass from the victim's inflicted limb to the corresponding limb of the wielder of the weapon. As an immediate consequence, skilled players become tall and easy to hit, whereas beginners shrink until they become difficult targets. Highly skilled players may therefore play with casual players in the same match and both can enjoy Game. Your skill will not be expressed by your kill-death-ratio, but by your body size.
