Short King
Submission for the Blackthornprod Game Jam #3 (first game jam).
HOW IT FITS THE THEME:
You play as a short prince who, after being rejected by the princess for being too short, is sent on a quest to find a magic crown that allows him to become taller. Along the way, however, his small size allows him to overcome every obstacle he comes across. See what I did there guys. "Less is more." The prince can do MORE because he is LESS tall than everybody else.

super cute and fun game! prty hilarious
This game is relatable on so many levels; from trying to find some magical item to make yourself more attractive, to learning to accept yourself regardless of the physical things you can't change
In Short King, your objective is as a short person is to find a magical crown that will make you taller in order to gain the affection of your beloved. While there isn't much to the actual gameplay (you're mainly holding right the whole time except for a fireball dodging sequence and a slight jump you get near the end), the dialogue and interactions between all of the characters carries this game with it's funny and quirky sections
There's really nothing in the way of glitches or bugs; my only gripe is that during the fireball section, there's a chance that fireballs will spawn in a place that you can't dodge them (near floor level).
All in all, this is a short, nice, and funny story that takes a few minutes to play through. If you want a quick laugh with two endings, you should definitely give this a play.
My playthrough:
Cool game here's a speedrun
