Unistable

Hey, congratz, the game is really fun. And I love the game feel around the game with the picture taken etc. But the gameplay itself I find it a bit frustrating I had a really hard time changing direction as soon as I had too much speed. I think its because the arrows actually are linked to the rotation speed between the wheel and the bar. I would have made this a "free rotation axis" and only balance with a small force on the top of the bar. I don't know if it makes sense. Anyway great job 😁

It's really challenging. I like it. Thanks for work!

This Game is brutal XD Finishing it was either either going to kill me or make me ascend into an evolved being.

thacuber 2021-10-03 19:47

@dekajoo thanks! the picture is from the app, i didn't make the app @martin-magni made it. Also for your solution, idk if i could make it work, dunno if constraints work like that. @holyshot you're welcome :sweat_smile: @u4ia it's an unicycle how is it brutal xdddd

This was super fun, the polaroid is a great idea. Good Job.

As soon as you get the hang of it, the game gets really fun. Always feeling like the guy from the "Guy falling for 9 seconds" video:D

florianbald 2021-10-03 21:21

I really needed some time to get the hang of it, but once i did, i enjoyed it! I ragequitted on the 4th level tho, i'm too bad for that lmao

2021-10-03 21:25

nice game. pretty challenging, love it.

wafflecomposite 2021-10-03 21:55

woooah it's tricky. Good game, a simple concept that is difficult to master

ratogodoy 2021-10-03 22:11

this game reminds me a lot of QWOP and those early flash rage inducing games, it's very well presented but i'm really bad at these types of games so i couldn't get too far :p

kbf123 2021-10-03 23:07

Brutally simple. I like it.

Couldn't get past tunnel tho.

mausimus 2021-10-03 23:13

Definitely my type of game, but very hard. A quick YouTube video showing the technique would be very nice, it took me about 20 tries to clear the first level!

myles-doupe 2021-10-04 01:55

I'm pretty sure learning to ride a unicycle would be easier than finishing this game. Fantastic! Thanks for making it.

2021-10-04 07:08

Much too hard for me! Very unstable!

wamien 2021-10-04 12:19

The idea wasn't bad, good way to think with the theme. But I wasn't able to move forward in the game, too hard for me :sweat:

2021-10-04 15:29

this is a very nice game, it fits the theme really well, good job thacuber!

spolarium 2021-10-04 21:04

Cool game! It's very challenging, though I would suggest having more control on the unicycle / for gravity to not be too strong (or maybe I'm just bad at it :sweat_smile: )

mega-marlon 2021-10-04 23:42

I had a fun and frustrating time! As others said, this game is tough, but that is what I expected! I managed to get to level 4, but couldn't get any further! I really like the simplistic graphic for the Unicycle! Great job!

henriquecanella 2021-10-05 02:05

What a challenging game, took me a while to get confortable with the controllers, but well made and as said above It was really very unstable haha =D

sawdust 2021-10-05 13:28

Nice simple gameplay that couldn't be tougher to beat! I couldn't beat even one level on PC. Had better luck on mobile, but it was still pretty tough. Excellent thematic ties at least!

gastar 2021-10-05 14:41

Simple idea but cool realization! Really challenging, beat inly 3 levels

zpika 2021-10-06 01:36

Ever since I saw the preview post, I've been wanting to try this game, really good job, loved it!

thacuber 2021-10-06 15:33

Thanks everybody! It was equally fun to make this game! I don't do level design that much, but when i do, i always want it to feel fun, feel clever, for you to say "Aha!" after finally figuring out the answer. Although yes, i noticed that indeed, the unicycle is pretty heavy, need to fix that post jam :sweat_smile:

thacuber 2021-10-06 15:34

@sawdust thanks! although i felt it was easier in PC haha

thacuber 2021-10-06 15:35

@henriquecanella XD

thacuber 2021-10-06 15:35

@spolarium the gravity isn't the problem, is the mass of the unicycle (or so i think)

thacuber 2021-10-06 15:36

@mega-marlon huh, wonder what level is the 4th one. **looks at the game** **sees fall in the title** *oh.*

thacuber 2021-10-06 15:38

correction, i meant roundabout sorry

thacuber 2021-10-06 15:54

@zpika thanks :ok_hand:

martin-magni 2021-10-06 18:15

I *finally* beat Level 1! Only took me 37 tries. Reason I continued is because the game is fun! There's something about the physics that needs tweaking, but not sure what it is. I hope there'll be a post jam version where I can continue on Level 2. :sweat_smile:

martin-magni 2021-10-06 18:16

Oh, and brilliant game name! :laughing:

thacuber 2021-10-06 21:49

@martin-magni hahahahhsjahjshakdhjshd XD

purrseus 2021-10-07 18:26

I played on mobile and I can't even best the first level 😅 Still I tried for quite some time and somehow even had fun 😂

2021-10-16 15:51

Feels like the wheel needs some lubricant! I wasn't able to beat the first level, but I was laughing while trying!

pratik-g 2021-10-17 10:02

Alright, You nailed the theme! Tho it's hard, but it's still always fun as we strive to complete the levels, progressing little by little. Felt good to play this..

emparans 2021-10-17 11:46

In my opinion, it is very difficult, not only because it is a unicycle, but there are times that if I press twice in the same direction it turns faster causing it to fall. Also, I think it could have done a little more decoration. On the other hand the game is challenging and entertaining in general. Nice job
