About

In "Inch by Inch," play as a shrinking scientist on a quest to create an antidote and stop shrinking before it's too late. Search the lab for formulas and ingredients, process them in machines, and avoid shrinking too small. Use WASD to move, Space to jump, Shift to run, and left/right mouse buttons to interact with objects. The goal is to gather three key ingredients and place them in the antidote processor to win.
