Unstable Roads by Slowpoke 2021-10-08T18:09:08Z ♥ 1

Really cool puzzle-ish strategy game. Felt a tad too random at times, but also I'm probably bad at making contingency plans at this stage, cause this is quite the unique concept you have there. Also like the stylized aesthetics a lot. Great job! :)

Super Stable Charger Robot by caudatecoder 2021-10-07T17:10:40Z ♥ 1

The audio and graphics create a really tight atmosphere. It got hard to hear the sound cues clearly, which I assume was intentional. Very nicely done!

A Crumbly Planet by kumber 2021-10-07T16:23:45Z ♥ 1

I wish I either had some way to react to platforms breaking or the game was much faster, so replaying a stage (now knowing one more breaking platform) went quicker. Well-made platformer though, great fit for the theme, neat visuals! :)

No hands Dorifto by Gorypixels 2021-10-07T07:51:20Z ♥ 1

It kind of fits that Flappy Bird model of being hypercasual but also insanely difficult at the same time. Was definitely motivating to see how far I could push it, and the "creator highscore" is a very nice element I might steal in the future haha! :D

Clad In Plaid by ModdingMachine 2021-10-07T07:47:35Z ♥ 1

You had me at "falling projectiles such as Elon Musk". Also a building dual-wielding miniguns, say what? Very fun entry, kudos! :D

Unstable Lava by Weenie Walker Games 2021-10-07T07:15:54Z ♥ 1

Fun exploration puzzle game. The simple visuals make it quite hard to keep track of where you're at (not a bad thing for a maze game). Also the audio is probably among the best I've heard in the jam, creates a really tight atmosphere. Well done!

Parcel Panic by PKZinpo 2021-10-07T07:10:32Z ♥ 1

Super difficult and frantic, but looks and sounds awesome! I also noticed how you learn the map over time and intuitively know where to go for "building K" (sort of like a real delivery person would). Great job! :)

Unstable Apocalypse by Benjamin123 2021-10-07T07:07:31Z ♥ 1

For some reason those enemy graphics combined with the sound and lighting make the thing super creepy haha. Well done! :D

Keep them alive by M A T 2021-10-07T06:58:32Z ♥ 0

Cool idea and perfect fit for the theme! As others mentioned, the balance is a little off, you're earning way to little (especially early on). Next time maybe try to balance on the (too) high side instead, so players can just do lots of stuff even if that makes things a little too easy in the first iteration. Good job though! :)

AIROBICS by mausimus 2021-10-06T15:20:00Z ♥ 1

Really well-made game, aesthetics are very good in the context of what it's about too. Love that there's no pause actually haha. Congrats on a great entry! :)

Unstable by DevParty 2021-10-06T12:15:23Z ♥ 2

Fun casual stacking game! Could see this being one of those popular "hypercasual" mobile titles. :)

The Funny Farm by Matthew Roelle 2021-10-06T09:44:59Z ♥ 1

A really fun and creative puzzler! I kind of think you should get a preview of all the upcoming days, otherwise you don't really know how to position on day 1. Super fun though, well done and lol at that losing animation. :D

Stacks by ping78 2021-10-06T09:22:49Z ♥ 1

I've seen a few stacking games in the jam and this is among the best ones. The physics make sense, objects behave like you would expect. I also like that you get a chance to recover and your drop counter goes down again if you manage to stabilize. Great job! :)

Power Supply by DOMO 2021-10-06T09:19:48Z ♥ 1

Fun little multi-tasking game. Funnily enough I mostly lost due to pushing the reactor rods too far up while frantically watching the other bars in on the right, haha. :D

Unpredictable Shapeshifting by OctahedronSoftware 2021-10-06T09:16:00Z ♥ 1

Switching between two opposing sides constantly is definitely something I haven't seen before! I feel the hunter bullets should take some time to travel so you can react to them. They feel very laser-like currently. Kudos for the inspiring core idea though!

Shoved Serenity by Solah 2021-10-05T16:37:48Z ♥ 1

Jumping in the wind is not meditation? That's just your opinion man...

Really cool entry, I could totally see this being a popular mobile game. Great audiovisuals (love the looming metal guitar haha) too. Awesome job!

Plate Spinner 2021 by StoicKekis 2021-10-05T16:34:59Z ♥ 2

Nice little frantic "spatial presence management" game. Kind of reminded me of good old Diner Dash or something. :D

The one obvious thing to add would be spinning animations for better feedback, but overall a really solid entry!

falling flamingo by butterfly 2021-10-05T16:20:59Z ♥ 1

Funniest game I've seen in the jam so far. Holding down that eject button was just glorious. Thank you for sparking joy! :D

Apocalypse Run by LCStark 2021-10-05T15:59:50Z ♥ 1

Love the overall risk-vs-reward structure and that it's not just endless! The aesthetics also have a lot of style to them. Great job! :)

Crumble by foxtrot-roger 2021-10-05T15:57:06Z ♥ 1

Nice job! This had a lot more to it than I thought from the first two levels. Those chain reactions have lots of potential. If this was a demo, I'd wishlist the full game. :)

Bad Buckets by PurpledArtFrog 2021-10-05T15:03:41Z ♥ 1

Cool game! As @thepelranthean mentioned, it gets a little too frantic quite quickly and loses some of its own structure in the process. Solid concept in general with the zoning though, could see this being expanded upon! :)

The Horse Without A Stable by AfroAnt 2021-10-05T14:58:08Z ♥ 1

Fun stacking game with well-done physics that make sense! Great job!

Changes by Michael Feldman 2021-10-05T14:23:32Z ♥ 1

Fun little puzzle platformer that manages to introduce new ideas with every level and holds quite a bit of metaphorical meaning to make you think. Well done!

Giant Horse Deathball by fakefirefly 2021-10-05T14:13:35Z ♥ 1

Took me a while to realize it's not just the horse you can control, but then oh boy... Starcraft deathballs are nowhere near as scary! Very fun! :D

Why Can't I Hold All These Items? by glenugie 2021-10-05T14:07:55Z ♥ 2

Honestly one of my jam favorites so far! It's basically Escape from Tarkov, but only the scavenging and loot management. I love how focused it is and how it makes the inventory juggling meaningful. The different item effects were really fun. More varied items with emergent interactions and maybe a few more obstacles along your way (the city map really doesn't do anything currently) and I can easily see this being a very good full game. Great job! :)

Compo game "Flappy Crow"!! by HIKO_game 2021-10-05T13:13:07Z ♥ 1

Flappy Bird has nothing on this! It's super difficult, but very well made. Great job on the graphics too!

Also yay, I finally found another PICO-8 compo game besides mine! Cheers! ;D

Unstable Marbles by Marc Grabow 2021-10-05T13:10:13Z ♥ 1

Okay, this one is super fun! One special thing about it is that it's basically equally fun when you do badly, because it's pretty hilarious. I could easily see this being expanded into a full release with varied (maybe randomly generated) levels and a bunch of special abilities. Seems very streamable too. Great job! :)

FrogEatsMouse by JCMonkey 2021-10-05T13:04:38Z ♥ 1

Interesting concept and fun to play! The moving circle kind of gave me battle royale vibes. Definitely inspiring for my designer brain, thank you very much! :D

Polypharmacy by Zomk 2021-10-05T13:01:59Z ♥ 1

Very cute, great audiovisuals, solid puzzler mechanics! Not sure about the "books can kill you if you have a mental disorder" message, but it's good fun! :D

Unrogue by ccglp 2021-10-05T12:58:32Z ♥ 1

Haha, those minigames startled me the first time around and indeed gave it an incredibly "unstable" Pony Island sort of feel. Nice one!

AnoidBuild by lifedrain 2021-10-05T12:54:44Z ♥ 1

Nice twist on the breakout formula! At first I thought blocks should attach to my paddle and create an unwieldy monstrosity paddle over time, but it works quite well as it is! :D

Horsey Bash by jakefriend 2021-10-05T12:50:56Z ♥ 1

Super fun (and funny) game! Sort of like frantic chess with a crazy horse. I'm a big fan of integrating turn timers into the actual gameplay, there's so much enexplored design space there and this one strikes at the heart of it. Kudos!

Meltdown by Ghost20000 2021-10-05T12:47:58Z ♥ 0

Super creative and really fun! I think you could either keep pushing this into the frantic management direction or even turn it into a more casual idle-like game with the cool reactor visualizations. Obviously a perfect fit for the theme too! :D

Tables & Tremors by SlimmerBurger 2021-10-05T12:44:27Z ♥ 1

Very fun and unique parkour-like concept with tables flying everywhere! Awesome job! :)

Ludens Fortuna by deniskazantsev 2021-10-05T10:05:14Z ♥ 1

Can't have enough card games in a jam! I liked how this one opens up a spatial dimension (which is an opportunity many card games miss). Maybe could use a few more ways to influence things, you can get a bit of a bad streak with one-directional cards. But all in all a really great entry! :)

Sanity Check by BinaryPrinciple 2021-10-05T09:02:09Z ♥ 1

Very cute, felt a bit like a non-combat re-imagining of Super Crate Box! Just the movement controls were a bit too slidey for my taste, but good job nonetheless! :)

Stronkey Kong by 100th_Coin 2021-10-05T06:29:35Z ♥ 1

Amazing, love the "build your own level while playing it simultaneously" concept. Great art and music too! It could be a little faster (not in terms of movement, but in terms of how quickly you get points to build more stuff), but overall easily one of my jam favorites! :)

Scootin’ Cubes by David Hunter 2021-10-04T17:25:57Z ♥ 1

The color matching was a nice twist on the formula! Well done! :)

Crewman 49 by ThatmanRobin 2021-10-04T17:06:09Z ♥ 1

You don't get many jam games with voice acting! Good job, great atmosphere! However, as @owlycode mentioned, the shaking definitely could use some tuning down.

ShakyShaky by Arash Ghorban 2021-10-04T17:02:59Z ♥ 1

Compo time is always very short for strategy games, but as a fan of all card gamey things I can see this becoming something great with a proper AI (or some kind of opponent system) and more strategies to plan around. Definitely has lots of potential! (Also, bonus points for making a "real-time turn-based" game, I think there's a huge unexplored design space there.)

UnStabled by Zackavelli 2021-10-04T16:56:36Z ♥ 1

Loved the concept of having to set the horses up for a good path and then praying for them to make the best of it. Well done! :D

self degradation universe by d094 2021-10-04T16:54:49Z ♥ 1

You have the beginnings of a satisfying toy here! With some more things to do and less harsh sound effects this will feel really nice I think. :)

Unstable Tower by erikkire 2021-10-04T16:33:13Z ♥ 2

Really fun and unique, but sometimes you just feel like crushing those infuriating little simulated climber dudes! Seriously though, great entry! :)

The Unstable Zone by Zarkonnen 2021-10-04T16:20:50Z ♥ 1

Had me glued to the screen like an old Inkle game. Well done! :)

Aimless Wizard by pvp 2021-10-04T16:17:39Z ♥ 1

Love the idea of not being able to control your targets directly, but having to work around them. Unique concept and also really well-made! :)

Baserackcanball by HacksawUnit 2021-10-04T16:13:55Z ♥ 1

The polish is insane with this one! So juicy!

Weather Control Device by Krjemelik 2021-10-04T15:03:20Z ♥ 1

Really nice, great visuals, replayable, good fit for the theme, well done! And thank you for the donut! ;D

Mars Contractor by Chameth 2021-10-04T14:54:13Z ♥ 1

Really polished and clever (big wow that this is your first ever game, please continue haha)! :)

Destabilize a Reactor by GeroX 2021-10-04T14:48:50Z ♥ 2

Very nice concept and a perfect fit for the theme! Add some polish and a bunch of different minigames to the stations and you have yourself a fully releasable game! :D

Unstable Magic by Final Act 2021-10-04T14:37:05Z ♥ 1

Well done! I really liked that you can deflect enemy shots, could even see the game centering more around that. But maybe your own shooting would need more restrictions then (such as a lower rate of fire). Anyways, good job! :)

Up! A physics based climbing adventure. by kernon 2021-10-04T14:31:12Z ♥ 1

Love it, super fun to play around with! The animal shapes reminded me of "Animal Upon Animal" (the physical game), which is awesome. :D

Roboturai by Be3n2 2021-10-04T14:09:23Z ♥ 1

As @mborecki said the Q pressing seems somewhat unncessary (you also have to do it A LOT to get up). Fighting definitely felt unstable though, I could see this becoming really fun with more polish! :D

Hard Drive Homicide by Noam Zeise 2021-10-04T14:01:50Z ♥ 1

Gameplay didn't feel very unstable, but good job on creating a fun game nonetheless! :)

the end by Dennis Magnusson 2021-10-04T11:36:19Z ♥ 1

I have a soft spot for "single-player cooperative games". This one is very difficult (it is indeed very unstable, heh), but shows the potential of such a simple core idea!

Nimrod's Folly by ErikU 2021-10-04T11:33:17Z ♥ 0

Fun physics-y building sandbox! Well done for fitting something of this scope into a compo project. Could easily be expanded upon in a whole bunch of directions! :)

Gunstable Tanks by Gus the Shark 2021-10-04T11:28:35Z ♥ 1

A simple but fun top-down shooter! That wall of tanks was scary though... :D

THE COVID RACE by Aarre Entertainment 2021-10-04T11:26:19Z ♥ 1

The atmosphere this manages to create is quite haunting... well done!

Leave Me Alone by crazyrems 2021-10-04T11:19:14Z ♥ 1

Never before have I hoped to hit my head on solid objects this much! Really nice-looking game, takes some planning around jump reach and object positions, great fit for the theme. Well done! :)

Newcomen Atmospheric Engine by axelrinaldo 2021-10-04T08:55:01Z ♥ 1

Took a minute to figure out what's going on, but once you get the hang of it it's a really fun tactile (and frantic! :D) experience!

NAMU by ekun 2021-10-04T08:51:22Z ♥ 1

Very relaxed atmosphere, perfect fit for the theme, just great casual fun! :)

Unstable Society by Glaikunt 2021-10-04T08:48:22Z ♥ 1

Cool take on the theme with nice graphics! :)

Megalomania by adam-gould 2021-10-04T08:44:57Z ♥ 1

Very interesting! Could easily see this expanding into a full Plague-Inc.-like experience. :)

Unstable Revisions by ytaha 2021-10-04T08:37:42Z ♥ 1

Just when I thought not moving your mouse ever was the winning strategy, the windows threw me off, haha! Very nice entry, super polished and fits the theme perfectly! :)

The totally-safe-and-explosion-free Heist by Fonkin 2021-10-04T07:47:40Z ♥ 1

Neat idea with the heist mechanics! Feels like the game maybe didn't even need shooting and could be centered around dodging or taking cover instead.

I. Want. Cheese. by VirtualMan52 2021-10-04T07:36:14Z ♥ 1

Really liked the idea of indirectly controlling your moody friend! Great graphics and sound effects too, very well done! :)

CryptoCoaster by the.jahn 2021-10-04T07:24:55Z ♥ 1

One of my jam favorites so far! Definitely a take on a "stock market game" I haven't seen before! :D

Better Tomorrows by DzejPi 2021-10-04T07:17:17Z ♥ 1

An incremental game with a touch of mystery and a "Papers, Please" vibe to it. Very well executed! :)

Elemental Storm by Ommadawn 2021-10-04T07:08:51Z ♥ 1

Really unique concept and a great fit for the theme! Clicking those cute little elements isn't all that easy though! :D

Cool by KewDev 2021-10-04T07:04:14Z ♥ 1

Perfect fit for the theme and those visuals are amazing! Well done!

Unstable pathing by arachnid56 2021-10-04T07:01:58Z ♥ 1

Very intriguing and a perfect fit for the theme! :)

Tama Town by MaggardJosh 2021-10-04T06:57:31Z ♥ 1

That was a nice twist with the "marble" mechanics! Great job!

Volatile Valkyrie by madjackmcmad 2021-10-04T06:35:52Z ♥ 1

Really fun one that gave me Joust vibes (which way too few games do these days). Also love how juicy dying feels - BLAM! 😵

Moonbase Melee by GustavB 2021-10-04T06:20:44Z ♥ 3

Especially liked the atmosphere of this one! Didn't feel too "unstable", could use a bit more chaos maybe. :D
