It's fun to play, the monsters are really creepy so it sets a nice mood. The volume bar is not very user-friendly since the pause menu closes when you click. But it's really nice.

Quite simple which is good but mechanics aren't very clear, we're not aware of how much influence we have over the roots so it's difficult to change their direction.
Unless I slow down constantly, the rocks come too fast and I can't react in time so it's not very interesting for gameplay.
Nice game but I didn't understand the utility of the coins and brewing system, are they not implemented ? Also you didn't give a list of the controls.
In terms of fun, it's appreciable at most, I mean it's mostly Mario in a Pacman environment, it could feel like a smaller Pacman going random just to add Pop culture references. In terms of innovation, it uses mostly known characters and "electric perturbation" resulting in an instability isn't uncommon. It follows the "Unstable" theme quite well even though it seems more like "Chaos", maybe a little more instability would have been good like turning the game more and more into 1's and 0's. In terms of graphics, they seem for the most part to be already existing graphics so no comment. In terms of audio, balance seems quite good expect for the gun sound that is way too loud. In terms of mood, it's standard at most and then it turns into chaos more than into "Unstable". Overall, it's nice for a Ludum Dare but a bit disappointing for a "game". Feels a lot like a cheap game you would find on Newgrounds.
Beautiful graphics, well done overall, very fun and active gameplay
Nice concept with not much controls which makes it good but even if it's inevitable, you have too little control over what happens in the game so it finishes very quickly. It doesn't feel like we delay anything at all. Otherwise, nicely done.
