This is harder than I thought lol. I like the controls and the game is simple and satisfying once you get good enough to actually beat level 1 :joy: . Good job. This is a great submission, and with a little more polish it could be an addictive full game.
Great graphics and sounds! I like the unique gameplay.
I would make it less difficult in the beginning so people get to enjoy it more. Good work!
A very difficult game but so satisfying not just when you beat a level but also when you just get past that one bit that's giving you trouble. Amazing Submission! Great Job!
It looks like an easy game at first, but hell it was challenging. I really love the smooth controls of the mouse moving and walking. Really well done. Graphics are also very nice. Good job guys :)
@david-bohan @patsui @n-o-games Thank you for your feedback. The game is really quite hard. It was our idea to make controls feel a bit "unstable". And from level 2, there is new core mechanic, check it out if you didn't :)
@iluvatar Thank you! Did you finish the game?
A really fun game to play - very challenging too! I had to restart so many times before I beat the first level, but that's all part of the fun. I love the art style! Looks very professional and polished. Good job!
So hard!!! Is there a trick to it!? Haha. I really love this though. It looks so polished and well made. The pixel art graphics look beautiful as well. Probably my favorite part.
I also really like how you took the theme of Unstable. I felt very unstable while playing this.
@circle Thank you! We loved the idea of both unstable controls and environment.
Beautiful game with an amazing soundtrack. Game was easy to learn but difficult to master. I cannot emphasize how much I love the visuals paired with the music. Looks super polished. Amazing job.
This was a challenge but you've got the difficulty balance just right, you can master it and it's very satisfying when you do. Also looks and sounds great!
@circle and unstable mental condition for sure haha
This was awesome! I'd actually love to see something like a steam release of a game like this. Or I'd hate it (in a good way), because it was challenging as hell. The other levels were relatively easy but 1-2 and 1-5, hoo boy. At first I thought the controls weren't all too...controllable, but I have to take that back now as by 1-5 I could pretty much control myself exactly the way I wanted to. My only complaints may be that it's a bit tough to tell where the hitbox is, I thought it was the shadow until the final level, but figuring out it's the middle pixel of the player (I think at least) was surprising. Also, loved the unstable effects you get when you're hurt, although I think brain scorcher is pretty much an instant lose since you don't really get a warning or anything before your controls invert.
The mouse movement controls really made this feel unstable, in a good way! The difficulty was brutal, but there was nice variety between the levels!
It took me a little while to realize why I keep falling over :D but once I figured it out I really enjoyed the game. The graphics and sound are done very nice. The difficultly can be a little brutal though (especially starting from the beginning on the levels eacah time).
Wow that was really challenging! The art style is also amazing. This could be one of these rage-games that youtubers like to play... haha :D
It's only when I play this kind of game I realize how bad I am at video games. Haha Nice art, and good concept ! Well done ! <3
The retro styled pixel art is great. The gameplay is very challenging and I feel it requires alot of patience, the player movement takes a while to get used to, the controls are unique but it would be a good idea to explain them beforehand. Good effort.
Would love to see some tutorials, took me few seconds to figure out the control is the cursor movement. Also the level design is really cruel '-' for the first level to introduce 1x1 passage is really punishing considering the player's movement sensitivity ._. other than that i enjoyed the game overall especially the gameplay and the art quality :D
Great game, really enjoyed it. Its the kind of game you hate, but like someone else said, in a good way. Also liked all new mechanics the different levels introduced. Well done!
Wooo! Love the graphics and the sounds. Just a bit hard at the beginning but at the same time, I can't stop playing. Good job!
Enjoyable, difficult gameplay. I love the way you have to control your character. Great music, funny sound effects!
I loved the art and it was pretty fun to play (a little hard at start ^^)
Very good idea, very nice art. I loved the character animations. I found it very difficult, I suffered to get through the first level. I think it would be interesting to put something easier at the beginning for the player to learn how to play.. But I really liked the game idea.
really good game, very difficult. well done
Nice game ! Cool mood and feeling. It took me some tries to get used to the player inertia. Didn't manage to finish one level though, hopefully you let other level unlock to see all your work. Thanks !
@mrschlag2 thank you, you can choose any level from menu - play :)

the difficulty curve is stiff but there is a feeling of wanting to get better and wanting to see what's next ! very well done overall aside giving players more space it's very solid ! protip: change your mouse sensibility :p
lovely game, enjoyed the sound!
The difficulty is harsh, but I really like the concept and your executions. The mechanics you added from level 2 to 3 are all interesting and fun. Graphics are really good too, I really liked the drones carrying the glass window :p Well done and thank you for your game!
Nice pixel art and catchy music. It's a difficult game for me, but I think for some people it's pure hardcore fun. I should add time score for levels for people who want to compete each other.
Love your game! This is simple to learn, but hard to master. Somehow I can't get past the first level, but that is my mistake, these games are not my cup of tea. But I like it very much! Great job!
Very good graphics, but I think levels should be a bit shorter. Gameplay idea is interesting. But who left so many puddles... Have they fall down? Are they inside a ball? Am I one of them?
I'm amazed, it's simply awesome.
Really lovely and well put together game with all the necessary details! It was a little difficult for me but I did search through to check out all your hard work and im so glad that option is in there! Graphics and audio are really great. I especially like the alerts for when new effects are active. Its a really cool concept and feels very polished. One of my top games so far and I will definitely keep it to play again and clear the levels properly :) Nice one!
Gotta love a game with simple and easy to understand mechanics that gets more complicated overtime. Some levels felt a little long, and very punishing if you died towards the end, but the game does a really good job of keeping the player on their toes.
I really like the movement system and the way that you fit it into the theme great job! I would have liked it however if maybe the levels were a bit shorter as I found myself playing the same part of the first level over and over and over again which kind of killed my motivation a bit. I think the game has great potential good job!
I just found it too hard! It's very difficult from the start, as controlling the character is so tricky, and the first level is long. I guess I couldn't get good enough at the basic movement, but I think you did a great job with the additional mechanics: the wind, the enemies, the anomalies etc.
Interesting and challenging game. I found it so hard to make the artifact carrier to move along a proper curve to get through one-block-width pass without falling down, with my mouse.
The game is quite challenging (but in a good way). I see so much potential in this game. Keep the development guys
Interesting controls and very varied levels.
Some possible improvements: I thing the game could have made use of a grace period when you get damaged, sometimes I would get one ailment right after another and then immediately die. The hit boxes where also a bit hard to figure out and sometimes felt unfriendly, but that might be just my lack of skill. 😅
I like that the implementation of the theme still allowed for the success or failure to be fully in control of the player. If I had to offer criticism i'd say that it requires a bit too much patience for my liking, but that could be just a personal preference as well. Solid entry overall.
With controls this imprecise I feel like it's too easy to fall off of the platforms; maybe the minimum size should be a few pixels wider? I also would have liked a way to completely stop the character. Or maybe I'm just bad at this... I couldn't get through the first level.
@tiranice thank you for your feedback. We understood that the game is too hard at the beginning and are already working to make it more easy to learn and have fun, unfortunately we cannot update it while the jam is not finished because it would be unfair. The idea was to make player feel how hard the sphere and how unstable the character is. Giving the ability to stop him would kill that feeling.
I really liked this, but I was so shit at playing it. I found it quite difficult tbh. The art, music and idea was nice though!
Oh wow this is a really difficult game. I think the difficulty just ramps up from 0-100 in the first level with the small tiles and the water spills + There are no checkpoints through the level so I felt very frustrated falling in the last section of the level.
I did extremely like everything about it except that. The music is excellent, the art is beautiful and the gameplay is interesting. I just would love if the difficulty would've been introduced gradually.
I like the music, and the death screech is a nice touch. I heard it many times.
Pretty nice game for 3 days. Good music. Good ideas. Good bricks. But... Popka bobo
Hey there! This game was really amazing to play! Thanks for joining us live!
I finally had the time to come back and rate everything I played so far!
