Inch by Inch

Inch by Inch is a time-management game about a scientist who is shrinking and must find a way to stop it. Search a lab for formulas and ingredients, then make the three key components of an antidote before you become too small to operate the equipment.

Search and process

Each formula corresponds to a machine in the lab. Machines process ingredients into new ones, which can be used in other formulas or may be among the three key ingredients you need. Processing takes time, so you must balance it against searching for missing components and rearranging the lab in case you shrink too much to reach the machines. To win, place all three key ingredients in the antidote processor. If you shrink too small, the game ends.

Modes and settings

Formulas and item locations are randomly generated, creating a different challenge each game. You can choose from four difficulty settings, including a customizable option. Heightscore tracks your best scores and fastest playtimes, while Sandbox Mode lets you explore the lab and its many game settings.
