Well the name sure is fitting, that's about all I've got to say about this one.

I love your music! I love how things just fly apart when you finish a stage!
You should do a VR version!
That last stage was great, just the question in the sky!

Cool idea, you get used to the sickness.
I am so dizzy and nauseous :laughing: I'm assuming the "What's Next?" screen is as far as you can get? Good entry was a lot of fun.
SUch a simple but crazy idea. I agree. We need this in VR with a cat chasing us. Great job!
@bentebent hah, yeah, i think so
@the-lame-brain we can call VR version vomit up yourself lol. Thank you for your feedback
@brads-space imagine 48 hours of developing such mechanics. All developers just like all go round:)
@maggardjosh yes, that was the last scene. Thank u fr you comment. Appreciate it 😊
@chrissx2 so many suggestions about VR version. Challenge accepted!
Really well made. "What’s next" was a bit confusing. This game in VR would be so dizzy even writing this comment I still feel a tad dizzy :laughing:. Also this game would fit "One Room" theme so well.
Crazy! Good thing I never experienced motion sickness, as I imagine I would be quite nauseous by now :laughing:
Travelling the world as a ball is confusing in a good way, and the boxes-inside-boxes world is very creative. This is definitely a unique experience!
Hah nice alternative movement there! Had to figure out that rolling was a thing, but then I was off~ Nice models and music keeping the 'one more' challenge going, with the occasional trickier platform. I don't get nausea from these things luckily :laughing:
I love the concept! I'm not feeling too well now that I've played the game, but I still enjoyed it! Feels like some kind of *Katamari Damacy*, but the player is the ball. XD
Literally unstable mechanics, which can be used in some game, especially to that tune. Better play on the empty stomach!
Umm my head hurts.
I am definitely too old for such somersault games.... :nauseated_face:
and made it into the universe, unfortunately there was no big bang.
Congratulations on your great game
I vomited up the world
oh my goodness, that was miserable lol. I love the uniquness of your game! but man is it hard to play for someone as motion sick as me... A really unique and fabulous game, I bet playtesting this was fun...
cool game, i feel quite dizzy afterwards, but its a nice concept and it definitely deserves some more attention :D
You've got the title pretty well. I definitely got dizzy, but I enjoyed playing it.
Well, after playing this, I absolutely appreciate not having to roll around all the time in real life. :D
Imagine this in VR. Cool entry, at first it was hard to control, but later it was hard to not get too dizzy playing this game :) . Good job!
Took me a bit to figure out that I had to hold the button to roll forward. Would be cool to see a way to increase speed for extra motion sickness. Cool submission!
That was disorientating! I initially thought the control scheme was WASD to look around, and I was so confused, until I found out about 3-5 minutes later that it was to move as well :-/ The rest of the game isn't well explained either. (And honestly, a VR version of this would genuinely be dangerous. Might be best not to release one.) Apart from the bad explanations, it was a fun game!
Never before has feeling like this been so entertaining.... 🤢 I *love* the low-poly art on the gems and some of the décor, and the smooth sculpted graphics on everything else! The art blends really well together, the environment is beautiful. My only request would be to make it so that if you run into the galaxy at the end you cause an explosion that blows up the universe. 😈
Cool game with an interesting concept. Staring at the ceiling 50% of the time is a little nervous, but that's the price I have to pay for my perfectly round body.
@peace-of-cake-games thanks for your reply, appreciate it and your idea is cool. We planned to do smth like that in the end but... not enough time:)
@zevsehg it's a small sacrifice for a such fit body hah
@adriankrawczyk @future-labs-unlimited @sli @r3l0ad1 I like to read your feedbacks! Thank you :3
Great experience but it hurt a bit haha
A great idea, I loved the music super calm compared to the dizziness that I generated rolling and rolling xD Good job!
Cool concept... I think you should make a VR version for this game.
I want to see a speedrun of this :laughing:
Great entry, I liked your interpretation of 'unstable' :thumbsup: Quite unique!
At the start the movement maked me dizzy but after few seconds I got used to it. Very relaxing game. The game movement mechanic is really unique. Great job with music too.
@zimny11 @yopox @astropower @emaigualmc2-art Glad you enjoyed!
very creative!!
This game is super neat.
The music does a great job of setting the atmosphere, and the whole thing is really relaxing to play.
I love the use of environmental text. Like the size hints on the boxes.
playing this, i was somehow both comfy and seasick! good job!
Cool game
Interesting take on the theme. I played until I got outside, where I slid into an area under the house and wasn't able to escape
My head hurts. That's all I have to say. Really happy about the colors not being too much and the graphics seeming pretty low poly from those few seconds i could see more than the floor. Solid entry overall.
wow amazing everything. this would be fun in VR too! where can we get the song? :3
Such a wonderful idea! Simple but the execution here, both in terms of graphics, sound and music, are what makes it work so well. The minimalistic gameplay and dizziness mechanics balanced one another unexpectedly for me.
I could really see this expanded into a slightly bigger more polished mini-game that explores some themes with the mechanics, I think it has a lot of potential.
And I really loved the music and wish it was longer. You folks should release a soundtrack somewhere for download, if it's an original piece (or if not, link to the source).
Overall really exceptional work in game design.
@m1nus @lucasvb I editted our post and added link! If you are lazy, https://hypeddit.com/track/gyqdum for you)
Good news everyone, my insides are still inside me! Navigating was surprisingly ok.
First I was confused how you move, then I remembered a bit of the cut scene where you zoom into a ball, so we must be rolling, right? Perhaps bringing a bit more attention to the fact that you play as a sphere could help.
I liked the wall shattering box in a box idea, I am going to "borrow" it some time :^)
This game almost needs a trigger warning :rofl: I'd categorise it as a movement-horror game. I've always been very slightly susceptible to motion sickness in FPS games, but this seemed to bring it to the fore. Great job! 5 for innovation, I've never played something quite like it. Though I can't believe some folks calling it "relaxing"?! :laughing: Good job...interested to see what you folks do next time.
@rixar oh my gosh! it's sooo cute! Thank you :3
This game is sick. I really like the idea. But god, I got a nausea after some time!XD
I'm surprised I made through it without feeling sick. This is so nice! Funny idea, good graphics, great soundtrack and implemented very well. Best part was bumping down the walls :D Interesting choice to use the default probuilder material in the first scene, but it seemed to fit the concept. Well done!
@tricky-fat-cat @m2tias appreciate it!
Very original take on the theme. I always love seeing 3D games! Visuals are simple, but fit well together perfectly and the controls are fun. I love how it is necessary to break the walls around you, which is a nice take on the theme as well. Although you should definitely play this when you are sober. I have three glasses of wine in me right now and the movement did not make my stomach very happy, but that’s on me! Overall this is a very nice entry and I think that this has enough potential to make it into a full game. :)
Really liked the game! Thought the growing mechanic was really well done, and the movement was fun. The art was nice and the music was really good. Only problem was that I fell through the grass outside and kept falling forever, but otherwise the game ran well. Overall fun and a good take on the theme. Great job!
You have perfectly demonstrated the power of simplicity. That's great!
Awesome game, it was actually super relaxing despite the rolling-in-a-ball perspective! Music and Art was lovely and was a fun 5 minute playthrough. Great work!
