About
The game runs in the background by default, so you can automate tasks for a while and use the materials after(this can be changed in settings if you desire the game to pause when you minimize it). There are no dangers in the game, no Snakes will die or flee the ranch if they are not fed, they will simply not shed their Scales at the end of the day, so there is no rush or impending doom to be solved.

As a small dragon, raise your ranch from the ground up. Gather and manage resources, build different facilities to house your snakes and make sure they are cared for to keep them happy and collect their beautiful scales.

Each one of the buildings can house different types of snakes and each one sheds a different scale. Their scales can be used to construct new buildings, craft better tools and equipment or be sold for gold. From horned snakes, to ones with wheels and even wings, there will be plenty of slithering friends to make.
Even a very motivated and talented dragon cannot do it all on their own. Most of the species of snakes can help you manage your ranch, be it by helping you feed other snakes, carrying their scales to storages, felling trees, hunting for food, forging new equipment and even cooking.

Send your fighter and gatherer snakes to explore new lands and collect rare resources and food. Some of the areas will be underwater or high in the sky and others will be too hot or too cold. Equip your scaly explorers to help them battle the elements or employ specialized species to get the job done.

Take time into account and make sure your snakes needs are met each day. Be prepared for weather that can affect your snakes work and changing seasons that bring new mechanics to the mix.

Build a lab and with the help of your snakes, perform research to unlock new types of snakes, buildings and improvements for your ranch.

Choose from a variety of decorative items and add your own style to your ranch. Just because you are scaling up, doesn’t mean you cannot do a glow up instead.

The art is cute, and there is a lot to do in this game. It does feel like developers put a lot of love in neat with all the gameplay nuances... and the sneks can wear hats!! T_T The bug collecting mechanic and speed up buttons are great QOL touch that addresses my duality of being an anxious cozy games lover lol Great one. Worth the money.
I have over 20 hours in this game. It's only been out for three days. I don't need my life back.
Very fun game, lots of great QoL features that make everything smooth and easy to manage. And the 2D art is honestly some of the best I’ve seen in years, super polished and full of charm.
It’s a cozy, relaxing farming game with a playful snake-themed idea. I definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a warm and addictive experience.
fun game. like it.
I was impressed with how chill, cozy and cute this game looks, and on top of it the Dragon/snake motif is so cool!! I'm excited to keep playing it!
It's a really cute concept, however the controller support is just a remapping of the mouse. It's not intuitive, difficult and at times impossible (example, scrolling the craftables) to navigate.
This game is a really cozy and addictive farming game with a fun snake-style twist. Instead of controlling just one snake, I slowly build an entire army of snakes that help me gather resources, expand my land, and develop my farming areas. The gameplay feels super relaxing and satisfying. I started playing casually and then suddenly realized I had been playing for hours without noticing. Watching my snakes grow, optimize resource collection, and unlock new areas feels rewarding without ever becoming stressful. If you enjoy chill farming games with a unique mechanic and steady progression, this game is definitely worth trying. I played it, loved it, and I’ll keep coming back to it. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something cozy, laid-back, and easy to sink time into. 🌱🐍
A cozy little game where you, a dragon, get to take care of a bunch of cute little slithery friends? Sign me up! I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Scaling Up so far! I bought it on release day and proceeded to play it for almost 6 hours straight, only stopping to go to bed. It's simple and straight-forward, and very easy to get absorbed in the gameplay loop. The UI is easy to understand and not overly complex, so it doesn't get confusing, the art is cute and colorful, and the mechanics have enough depth to be fun and not boring, repetitive, or tedious! I have encountered a few bugs so far, but most of them were just little glitches that didn't impact my gameplay, and the devs have been very quick and efficient at squashing them! I personally reached out to them with a game-breaking bug I encountered, and they were very friendly and helpful and had a fix for it only hours later. I didn't even have to start a new save (I know that's not always the case with bugs that show up in games, but it was this time)! It was genuinely enjoyable getting to talk to the minds behind this adorable little snake game that I fell in love with so quickly. Amazing, talented, and kind people behind a game that's just my style! I'll be keeping an eye on them, watching out for their other projects in the future! <3
Pretty fun! Good stuff.
