About Scaling Up

A COZY EXPERIENCE TO TAKE AT YOUR OWN PACE AND RELAX

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. 

BECOME THE OWNER OF A SNAKE RANCH

Scaling Up screenshot 1

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.

DISCOVER A VARIETY OF FASCINATING SNAKES

Scaling Up screenshot 2

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.

AUTOMATE YOUR TASKS

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. 

ORGANIZE EXPEDITIONS TO FIND RARE MATERIALS

Scaling Up screenshot 4

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. 

PLAN AROUND TIME, WEATHER AND CHANGING SEASONS

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.
