Features

Grow as you play! Full in-game UI support!

Grow bigger or smaller as you clear rooms, as you gain HP, or at will, anywhere!

Voice pitch changes as you grow or shrink!

Gain the booming voice of a titan, or try Arachne's cadence on for size!

Tons of visual effects to toggle and adjust!

• Full model animations, sound and visual effects, voice lines, and text pop-ups!
• Dialogue portrait and map figure scaling!
• Turn it all off, make it subtle!

Toggle gaining damage, speed, and/or HP the bigger you grow!

Keep your size into the Crossroads after a run!

Keep your size into a new run too. Keep getting bigger!

Bind keys to change your size. Hub only or anywhere!

• Press O and P to grow and shrink in the hub. Hold Alt for 5x!
• Alt-J to reset your size to default.
• Size control anywhere is a config option!
• Stuck? Alt-U to temporarily reset your size if you get stuck! Works anywhere, no matter what!

Size and Pitch Limits!

Don't want Mel to sound like Typhon? Don't want her to fill the whole screen? Try something more modest.

LUDICROUS SIZE toggle
