Great polish and style! There's a lot of clean design in the menu and the controls are difficult but responsive. V Nice :smiley:

I had a laugh. Fun game overall! Details I liked: the initial boost and the smoke trail from the potion!

Cool game, interesting mechanics, very well-tuned physics. This is the Gravity Defied of Our Time

Controls are responsive and just like a real unicycle you have to lean forward. Game itself is ok, but on my larger monitor the UI and intro is not scaled properly, might just be unity detecting the resolution badly though. Nice graphics and gameplay :) Next level might be to actually balance the chemical as well :D

Cool animations and very polished feel. We seem to have had the same idea when thinking about "unstable" => unicycles ^^

I especially liked that the face changes when the angle of the unicycle gets too steep.

Fun simple and just generally really great!

This was a lot of fun! Really liked the controls and the little boost you get after landing a jump

Nice game! Funny concept with great art. The hard mode isn't joking around, I couldn't get past the first jump! I'm impressed that the scientist discovered the cure to everything without any fingers! Truly an inspiration.

Love the opening cut-scene (and voicing!) that really sets the tone for a fun little game. I get major QWOP vibes from it, which goes to show how a simple control scheme and an idea can still have a lot of merit to it. Sound effects were solid, and the music is bouncy and fun. It's a solid "just one more game" style title - well done :)

Fun little physics game. The landings felt random sometimes on if id suddenly fall backward or forward. Otherwise had a good time and beat it!

One of the biggest surprises of this LudumDare for me! Amazing art, polish, and mood! The gameplay (ESPECIALLY when not on Easy Mode) is pretty tough, but feels great after getting used to. Great job!

Really good looking game! That intro cutscene was very well-made as well, though I wish you could skip it. The gameplay reminds me of Excitebike, but now that I'm typing this, I realize it actually shares more in common with QWOP. The music is also pretty good. I think I'll try and beat this game after posting my comment.

EDIT: I'm a little late on reporting this, but I went back to the game and beat it first try! You two should be *very* proud of yourselves for managing to create this entry.
