So that means you can do things like this:

You play as young physics savant Penny Prince, inventor of a device which can suck the size out of one thing and shoot it into another. SCALE begins as Penny awakes in prison, convicted of 9,322,591 counts of Depraved Heart Murder for accidentally destroying the east coast. Someone has confiscated her cat. Against the express advice of the rehabilitative therapy coordinator now living inside her brain, she hastily reconstructs her device using materials from a nearby cellphone recycling bin and embarks upon escape in an attempt to regain her freedom and her cat.
You wield a device that can make any item any size. A tree, a wall, an enemy, a passing cloud, even the levels themselves are all "SCALEable". Space is relative in the game so progress is as much conceptual as it is physical. The unique mechanic of SCALEing is inspired by games like Portal and The Swapper. Progression through the game is freeform and open like Mario 64 or early Zelda overworlds. Its all about exploring and discovering secrets!
Some stretch goals:
100K - Oculus Rift support
Due to how were making the game, it should be pretty easy for us to add support for the Oculus Rift, which is why Oculus support is our first and lowest Stretch Goal.
125K - Unlock Dales SCALE custom companion comic
Dales writing the game by using up the last jot of love and passion in an otherwise cold and robotic heart. But with some extra money we could activate his for-profit subroutine and tap into a rich dark vein of wild SCALE-themed comics undreamt of in this modern age. Dale experts tell us its dark magic would create a special companion comic for the game that would go with you wherever you went.
150K - Hire Additional 3D Artist
An additional 3D artist means well not only be able to have more art in the game, but well be able to have better art, as there will be more time refine for the artists to refine their work.
175K - Level Editor
With a level editor, youll be able to build the worlds youve always dreamed of, and then make them really, really big or really, really tiny and watch your friends play them. However, youll need to supply your own Zoolander style what is this, a _____ for ANTS?!?! jokes.
