The game fits the unstable theme. From physics, controls and runtime, I will think to myself, "damn, this is unstable." But it was also fun and innovative. I like that you can choose between positioning your soldiers to shoot the enemies, and pushing them onto the enemies to push them off the board. This makes for some interesting win strategies. The only problems I have with the game is how Un's head covers the subtitles sometimes, and how the game crashed when I tried to restart the 4th or 5th level.
@artman and @foxplayer: thanks for the feedback and for pointing out the bug. Glad you enjoyed it :)
The controls are a bit finnicky, and takes a while to get used to, but the gameplay was definitely very unique! I love the idea of commanding your own little soldier like on those boards in the army. And the game is deceptively strategic too, that really surprised me given the overall theme of the game haha. The game could have definitely been a lot better if the controls were polished a lot more, as it made it really hard to execute the moves we wanted to sometimes. Still, a very funny game and definitely one of the highlights for me in this jam.
Very interesting. In my opinion, maybe little more movement with the camera would've been better. I had fun playing this one.
Very clever with plenty of humor and character. I could use some laser pointers on the bazooka guys.
Very interesting. It's a really funny game
Very unique concept, didn't have the patience to play all levels but I love the idea
Very interesting game. Good concept. Sometimes, when retrying, the soldier hits the push stick and immediately causes it to fly all over the place. A cooldown on the collider on retry can fix that.
Funny stuff. Hard to play though.
Hard to figure out at first. Awesome idea though and really fun once you realize what to do.
I find everything about the game quite funny and the control is totally unstable!
Original idea, I liked it. When you get used to the controls it gets interesting to play. I appreciate the level of polish the game has. Good job! :smile:
Hard one! Fun interprestation of Unstable haha
Super interesting concept! Once I got the hang of manipulating the push stick I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's pretty hard to get the soldiers into just the right place, but satisfying when you finally get it. I would have appreciated a faster shoot timer, or maybe another way to trigger it manually, as I got a little antsy waiting to see if I got things set up just right. The North Korea theme was funny and a clever take on the theme.
I couldn't get past level four. And I'd end up knocking down most of my soldiers every time I'd click retry. But it is nice to see another strategy game, and with such original concept as well. Cool graphics overlay, though that face taking up such portion of my screen is scary ngl.
Good game, it took me a bit to control the mechanic of the movement but then I was able to clear the first and second level. I couldn't figure it out how to beat the guys with shields, I even made it turn around and shot them in the back but nothing, then I took my own guy with shield and hit the enemy soldiers like a child would do xD, beat them without the need of wasting bullets. The version I played didn't have any music nor sound effects, it's odd that you have decided not to add audio to the game, couldn't be turn off by mistake? or maybe it's an error in my browser, webgl builds are so unpredictable. Overall it was a fun game, ohh I love the scene, the fact that the levels are mounted on tables and you go to the next table when you win :smile:
It is very inconvenient to control, the rest pleased )
