LD49 — Unstable

PTSD Fishing by KuKuRammus 2021-10-05T04:45:07Z

This game is really slow paced which to me would usually be a negative but for this game it feels great. It's so relaxing to play, I love the visuals and the sound. Also, the mechanic for actually reeling in the fish was a nice surprise. Very nice entry, good work!

Unstable Concoction by theviraldragon 2021-10-05T06:09:11Z

I really like the concept here, and it's executed really nicely. I think a lot of these brewing games are so complex but I was able to pick this one up really quickly. A nice entry!

Unstable Stick by joewan 2021-10-04T18:41:39Z

Very difficult game but very addictive. I really appreciated check points and the death counter is a very nice touch! Great job

SEXY BOOBY 95 by silkworm_sweatshop 2021-10-04T18:58:04Z

That was such a great experience! Great humour, I love everything about it. Very original, nice job!

Instability by R3L0ad1 2021-10-04T18:18:56Z

I love the visuals and audio on this game, very nicely done! Only criticism I have is that the respawn time is fairly long for how difficult the game is, but that's an easy fix. Great job!

Nukaloid by GuitarBro 2021-10-05T04:00:00Z

I have a lot of nice things to say about this game. The voiceover, the aesthetics, and the music are all beautiful. Some jam games are extremely hard to pick up from the get go but this one starts out fairly straightforward and gives you a chance to get to grip with things before ramping up the difficulty. A very nicely made game within the time period.

The Funny Farm by Matthew Roelle 2021-10-05T04:04:49Z

I really enjoyed your game. 'The funny farm is a home for mentally unstable farm animals.' - That line made me smile before I even started to play it. The animations are really nice, the art, sound and animation all feel very cohesive. It's a really fun concept and you managed to get quite a few different levels in a short period of time. I think you could expand on this game and have a nice little mobile game perhaps. Nice work!

UnstaLaser by Roelosaurus 2021-10-04T21:40:11Z

This is a really clever game. Simple but fun. The visual style is amazing, great job!

Strong and Stable by natpat 2021-10-04T19:08:15Z

This game made me smile! The dance was spot on! Nicely done :smile:

Stone Tower by GreatVV 2021-10-04T22:11:02Z

I like this game. It's a simple concept but a difficult game. Very well made, and it looks really nice too. Nice work!

Mint by Préda 2021-10-05T06:58:06Z

Your graphics are really nice. The audio complements the game well and builds the atmosphere. Sound FX are really nice too. This feels like a really well polished game, good job getting all of this done in just 72 hours.

Unstable Chemistry by Laurari 2021-10-04T21:29:46Z

A very fun game. It took me a while to figure out what I was doing but that's because I always jump in to the game before reading how to play :face_palm: I love the audio and visuals, especially the Queue-A machine! Great work.

cyclops by Xyterix 2021-10-04T18:37:34Z

I love the visuals on your game. It took me a while to figure out that you need to hover your mouse over the circles. Fun game, great art, good job!

GONZO ALCHEMY! by kristinamay 2021-10-04T18:49:52Z

I'm amazed at how much you managed to achieve in such a short period of time. I love the audio, the graphics and the concept, good job!

The Eye of Glower-On by UkuleleFury 2021-10-04T19:59:53Z

I love the concept, and your game feels so polished. Fantastic job!

Count-Down by Shadowmyst 2021-10-05T04:53:03Z

I really enjoyed this game. The visuals are very simple but there's a lot of nice work that's gone into this game. It feels like Enter the Gungeon. I think this game is just lacking some polish, which is understandable given this is a game jam. With some polish I think this could be a great game. The arrow in the top right was a nice touch! And the tutorial area was a nice introduction to the game.

Restroom Rampage by jaoel 2021-10-04T21:06:28Z

This game is really fun, and difficult! Most of all I love the graphics, the art style is so pleasing, great work with an original idea!

Last Mile by kurrik 2021-10-04T19:16:24Z

I really enjoyed this game. I love the graphics too. For some of the houses closer to the top of the screen, I couldn't see how many parcels they needed delivering, it was cut off, not sure if that's a problem on my end or not.

Go Hard! by bernard-bumblebutt 2021-10-05T04:58:38Z

Such a fantastic game to play. The level of polish you got into this game is really impressive. I love the visuals, the particle effects when blowing stuff up is beautiful. The insanity meter is a nice touch, especially when you fill it up! Nice work, I'll be coming back to play this one in the future.

Clad In Plaid by ModdingMachine 2021-10-04T21:20:43Z

I really enjoyed this game and I was pleasantly surprised with the voice acting :smiley: It started out fairly easy and then got significantly harder, a nice progression of difficulty. Good work.

Among Monolyths by Dekajoo 2021-10-05T06:02:41Z

A fun creatize puzzle game with nice artwork and audio. Nice work!

WobblyWords by Dannyk1994 2021-10-04T22:14:35Z

A clever use of the theme. The music is really nice and welcoming. I like this game.

Warp Glider by Koolruz 2021-10-05T04:13:12Z

This is really well made, nicely polished. The levels feel really well tested and balanced, they're difficult but fair. The art style is simple but works very nicely. I love the look and feel of this game and it's quite addictive. Great job.

Ephemera by APG 2021-10-04T19:21:14Z

Fairly easy game, I like the art and how it changed as you build upon the comet. Nicely done.

Tables & Tremors by SlimmerBurger 2021-10-05T05:55:11Z

A very nice concept. The concept is so simple, but it's executed so well, it's a really fun experience. Very addictive. Nice work!

Bob's Underworld by chesschaser 2021-10-04T19:27:58Z

I enjoyed playing this a lot. The graphics and sound stand out to me the most, nicely done!

Mountaineer by vsi- 2021-10-05T04:36:31Z

I love the idea, the controls are simple and yet the game has a nice amount of difficulty. Failing doesn't feel so bad when the sound effects for falling off the mountain are so good :laughing:

Un-Stabled by Denhette 2021-10-04T21:53:55Z

This game is ridiculous, in a good way! The sound FX are so good. Really fun concept, good work!

Restable by zPikA 2021-10-05T04:30:03Z

I played this game for a lot longer than I expected to. I had a lot of fun, you've managed to get a lot of levels into this game. I love how the animals are weighted, so a cow is harder to push than a chicken, and a pig is harder than a cow to push etc. Petting the dog to refill his bar for some reason is really satisfying. I liked the game a lot.

Unstable POTions by owca 2021-10-04T19:11:21Z

Hard but fun game. I love the graphics and animations, the customers weird stare is creeping me out though! :laughing: Nicely done!

Unstable Aviation by IcedJaM 2021-10-05T06:10:50Z

Thank you all for the useful feedback so far! Much appreciated

Unstable Aviation by IcedJaM 2021-10-06T01:11:04Z

@alpharock6 If you collide with anything or get shot, you die. But also if your engine stability or weapon stability reach zero you die so I guess this is technically a form of health. It's useful to know that might be confusing for the player, it's very useful info, thanks for the feedback!

@ukulelefury I'm glad you liked it, it's always useful to hear someone's initial reaction to the game and their opinion after playing, thank you!

@slimmerburger That means a lot because some of the particle FX are really inspired by how beautiful Geometry Wars is. I definitely prefer aiming and rotating with a mouse, I was just keeping it true to the asteroids like controls but maybe mouse controls would have played better. Great job with Tables & Tremors btw, I look forward to seeing your future work.

@zack-andre Thank you for playing and leaving feedback, I massively appreciate it.

@erkberg This video was so fun to watch and see someones live reaction to the game, thanks so much for taking the time to play my game and producing content with it!

Unstable Aviation by IcedJaM 2021-10-06T03:47:10Z

@flywolfe Thanks for the detailed feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's actually not a bug, it's something I implemented because I thought if I started the game and your weapon stability decreased instantly, it's a little confusing for the player and they'd die before they even knew what was going on. So the stability doesn't decrease until the first time you switch modes. But your feedback is valuable, it means I needed to explain that better to the player, thanks a lot!

Brain In Jar by MechanizedIT 2021-10-04T20:16:11Z

Good idea, fits the theme perfectly. The UI is so clean and polished. A very well executed and fun idea, good job!

The Auto-Analyst by chainsawmcd 2021-10-04T21:59:11Z

Short but sweet. I think you've got a lot of talent when it comes to story, this was very entertaining. I look forward to your future work, great job!

The Land Of The Hungry God by circle 2021-10-04T20:04:14Z

Very nicely done! You managed to achieve so much in 3 days, I'm impressed! Keep up the good work :smiley:

The Swirl by cybuuorg 2021-10-05T03:52:18Z

This is very nicely made. The aesthetic and sound are beautiful and cohesive. You actually included a lot of content as well which most impressed me. Very nice work, good job.

Where's My Tripod? by Pixelydian 2021-10-10T05:14:48Z

Such a nice game, well I guess it felt like more of an experience than a game, so relaxing. Great job!

Twin Tails Jetpack by ExpiredPopsicle 2021-10-04T19:54:35Z

Wow I loved this game, the controls feel great! I love the characters facial expression too :laughing: I've bookmarked this one as one to come back to play more, I'm impressed with how many levels you got done, great job!

Batscape by agameortwo 2021-10-05T05:45:58Z

Level design seems well thought out, I like the mechanics. I always enjoy a difficult game like this one that has simple controls. Nice work!
