LD49 — Unstable

Make Me Rich by jk5000 2021-10-04T12:40:26Z

Great concept! I would totally choose this to spend evening over Monopoly :)

Take Your Meds Darling by Geckoo1337 2021-10-08T20:25:24Z

The most nausea-indusing experience I have had since rollercoaster in VR.

Don't get me wrong, you got theme, style is awesome (both art and sounds), but it is just too hard to play. My eyes are hurting, I almost turned it off at green-blue-ish corridor before companion cube.

Mood and theme are perfect. But overall experience is opposite.

Sorry for harsh words, I hope you will make more of this masterfull mood games, but Maybe turn wobbling down or use less disturbing colors.

Antichumber vibes are strong with this one.

Though experience was far from great, execution is top notch. Your game is polished to shining pixels. Sounds are totally in sync with visuals and mental unstability idea is leaking through my screen.

Good luck!

Take Your Meds Darling by Geckoo1337 2021-10-08T23:27:49Z

@geckoo1337 I am sorry if I was rude, I did not mean to offend you, really. I am looking forward for more atmospheric experiences made by you, so I followed you on itch. I hope to see more user-friendly and extended version of your game, I can even volunteer for beta-test:)

P.S. I exaggerated a bit saying it was that bad. I remember, when I was getting my VR legs I was nauseating for a couple of days. So, it was uncomfortable, but not repulsing. Sorry again

Emergency Power by mythalore 2021-10-05T23:40:23Z

Good work! Keep it up!

Kaboom Box by kleinzach 2021-10-17T16:54:52Z

Great entry! Brings backmempries of KTANE and other "box-puzzles".

Good sound design and visuals, controls are intuitive.

Good luck!

Leave Me Alone by crazyrems 2021-10-04T15:18:23Z

Simple but entertaining. Visuals and sounds are cool

Curse of Apep by cogcomp 2021-10-08T00:28:40Z

Nice entry!

Mechanic is little hard to grasp, some visual indicators would be nice to understand blocks possible movements, but random wiggling helped me through most levels.

Good work on post-processing, and lightning is awesome too:)

Good luck!

Unstable Concoction by theviraldragon 2021-10-04T15:30:34Z

Wonderful game!

Unstable Relation by Mathiouza 2021-10-06T15:53:47Z

Nice game! iI hope you will make more games about this cute deers:)

Unstable Relation by Mathiouza 2021-10-06T16:21:35Z

I would like to follow, but I don't use twitter, sorry. But your art is cool, so I'll follow you on itch to keep track :) Good luck!

You won't believe your result from this personality test! by allthebees 2021-10-04T12:25:03Z

That is... Something. Not really a game, but obviously something :) Tried several times, ITTRL was funniest. Try to put your humor in interactive form - you will make a bomb!

-Y- by Iluvatar 2021-10-06T16:03:06Z

Wonderful artwork and fitting sound-design!

It makes me sad, that art is not going to be in some massive adventure game.

I hope you are planning to continue development, oillen wrote pretty thorough review to begin with.

Good luck, keep up the good work!

Nuclide by irwatts 2021-10-04T21:13:25Z

Came here on recomendation of @ugly-robot. He did not lie, very nice game. I would like to see full mobile (android, to be exact) version to play it. And am I wrong or music is connected to shooting somehow?

Shattered Star Realms by oillen 2021-10-06T16:09:05Z

Hey! I am really interested in your game. Can you help me to understand it:)?

It reminded me of Subterfuge somehow, have you played it?

Chevalchemy: A Hoof of Concept by xlambein 2021-10-07T23:59:04Z

Nice entry! Good work on mechanics, it is challenging enough but not undoable.

Good luck!

Garbostackers by Runuchok 2021-10-13T19:41:48Z

Great entry and very fun game! Good luck!

Tectonicalypse by alec 2021-10-05T21:25:33Z

I request remake with tectonic music :D!

Overall, fun game. Good way to spen some time without pushing your brain.

Great work, keep up!

On the Thin Ice by agrdev 2021-10-06T16:17:51Z

Interesting concept, fine execution.

Sound design is perfect, choise of "breath" or "wind" instead of music really makes the mood.

Too bad my gamepad is xbox 360 with banged up triggers, could not do more than 4 steps:)

Good luck!

Quantum Splitter by thetatautau 2021-10-06T19:17:39Z

The mecanics of the game is understandable on every level

Tutorial would be nice as addition, more like list of "opened" features.

Difficulty is just on point. I did not finishe last level, so subtle hints would be nice IMO.

I enjoyed hard levels, but I am puzzle nut-head :)

I think popping sound should be more... cristal? electronical? clear? ... if you want to stick with nuclei idea. But for bubbles it is perfect, especially with addition of little random pitch shift on each "boop" :)

Great entry. Good luck with your plans on this game!

Criticality by 3mpty 2021-10-04T14:33:34Z

Wow. Your game is amazing. Totally will be back later to play it more.

Game has steep learning curve, but this genre/gameplay is made for me. One thing bothering me is red text in description? it makes whole panel "jump" when turning on and off fast

Great entry, good luck!

Gecko's Chronicles: The Miserable Men by RAFFE 2021-10-20T18:30:27Z

Amazing artwork and very fitting sound design!

Controls are little clumsy, especially for "speedrun"-oriented game.

Anyway, game is breath of freash air, I had a lot of fun

Good luck!

BIG BAD LAB by ddolgov 2021-10-07T19:14:52Z

Great entry!

It has "Among us" vibes, and somehow reminded me of "Half-Life" :) Sounds would ake it many times better, but nevertheless game is fun and entertaining.

Good work and good luck!

Ruin Raider by DrEvilBrain 2021-10-05T20:21:03Z

Game is fun, though rules are pretty complicated at first. I hope I followed the rules, but, as some other testers said, there are some confusion.

I would love to see this game as "standalone" board game, maybe with some more players involved.

For inspiration on multiplayer and several-phased-gameplay I can recommend "Betrayal at house on the hill".

Great example of creative approach from old-timer in LD :)

Good luck!

Crystallizator by XCVZXC 2021-10-04T17:06:36Z

Very addictive game. Spend at least 30 min in it, and absolutely will be back for more! Good luck!

Bitrunner by TimeLoad 2021-10-06T16:26:17Z

Great work! Minimalistic style is always a trend :) Sound design is really fitting too.

Good luck, keep up making games!

Should I Buy It ? by henriquecanella 2021-10-08T00:49:57Z

Nice chill game. I love clickers, so I am bias :D

It would be nice to have current money-per-second indicator and ability to click for money to make it full-sized clicker fighting cows and cookies :)

Great entry, good luck!

Orbitris by BOOtak 2021-10-05T16:36:11Z

Very innovative idea, cool spin (:wink:) on Tetris. Really addictive:)

Orbitris by BOOtak 2021-10-05T20:33:32Z

@bootak You totally can :)

Unstable Atoms by Fersyvanderzee 2021-10-05T00:34:00Z

Game reminded me of "Doodle jump", hours of boring classes time passed in it. Few tweaks - and you got a new hit of this sort :)

Insomnia by Foursay 2021-10-05T18:38:53Z

Great experience, very coherent work. I loved music and clicking syncing/ Even my breath changed to the rhythm.

Controls arrows+space or wasd+mouse would be more natural IMO. And maybe sound should start before gameplay to immerse player faster.

Wonderful game that attracts attention to horrible problems. Thank you for this!

I Want to Summon a Hot Demon but My Pwr Lvl is too Low so the Portal is Unstable by DNAbro 2021-10-06T16:32:11Z

Wow, funny game, great programmer art, clingy melody, intrersting mechanics. It is full pack! Good work!

A Long Way Home by Alexascher 2021-10-08T00:05:48Z

Great entry.

Art is through the roof!

Keep up!

Erratic Equine Extraction by hwaet 2021-10-07T19:26:53Z

Wonderful concept and mechanics.

I think this mechanics would fit better in discrete motion, you could make really interesting puzzles out of it.

Gyro-version sounds cool, but less goal-oriented.

But it is only my opinion.

Good work, keep up!

Un's Table by Eva Knight 2021-10-05T00:26:15Z

Nice prototype. This mechanics can be used in several ways, for example, in "Fall guys" successor. I had one buggy "client" and I think some "elevator" music for ambient would be great. Good work, keep it up!

149th element by Soulo 2021-10-04T14:46:34Z

Nice work! Keep up!

Russian Connect by YellowKamel 2021-10-05T20:49:11Z

Great idea and great execution.

Unfortunately, I caught bug: when evaluation started and space was pressed sound of noise did not stop.

Second, it would be nice to skip evaluation straight to results, and tutorial part too.

Game is fun and engaging. Please make more:)

Перейду на русский. Хорошая работа, товарищ. Теперь американцы будут считать, что наше устройство подавления сигнала - простая игра. Они своими руками будут дестабилизировать собственные трансляции. За СССР!

(Rough translation. I say nothing suspicious, no need to translate it. Go on your way. USA forever!)

Russian Connect by YellowKamel 2021-10-06T18:18:31Z

@yellowkamel done:)

Emotionally Unstable by Apandso 2021-10-05T18:25:10Z

Your art is through the roof:)!

It was little bit hard to start, I can advice to add explanation to game description (I think it is not against the rules).

Gameplay is simple, but engaging, collecting something is always a nice way to keep people playing :)

Keep up!

Among Monolyths by Dekajoo 2021-10-05T16:26:03Z

Great game, challenging puzzles. Really enjoyed playing it

Unstable Balance by simonkmall 2021-10-05T18:13:00Z

Simple but entertaining. Nice colour choise, and varoety of music is refreshing. Try adding fading for music next time to make it awesome:) Good luck!

Ascent by rbeattie 2021-10-08T00:40:28Z

Unstable platform are so annoying! Which makes your game a perfect platformer:)

Sound is lacking in web version, don't know if it is by design or bug.

Good work! Keep up, learn and make more interesting games :)

Ecna Lab Breaker by Marvin Chong 2021-10-17T17:08:36Z

Nice entry

Controls are hard to grasp, but mechanics are interesting. Indication of speed/falling would be nice, but I assume you already know about that:) Art and sounds are pretty great. Good luck!

Gunslinger Glitch by ugly_robot 2021-10-04T21:02:19Z

Pretty fun game! I lost more times than I can count, yet really enjoyed spent time.

Art is stylish and every pixel is in place. Sounds harmonize with game and do not distract. Gameplay is simple, but engaging.

Keep up the good work!

The Theme is Unstable by Johnathan Peres 2021-10-05T21:30:09Z

Nice idea, great execution.

Fun game, made some tries and enjoyed it :)

Lucky's Table by tjm 2021-10-09T22:52:22Z

Great game! Bring back good memories of space cadet pinball on my first PC :)

I had bug several times when ball passwd through bumper, but no critical problems.

Sound is totally awesome and expirience is nice.

Good luck!

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-04T15:34:53Z

@3mpty Thanks for your feedback Unfortunatelly, RNG is not very smart in my design. But some unwinnable scenarios were created on purpose, so player would not relax :) Highscore is local only, sorry. You can see your highscore on "death" screen.

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-04T15:36:57Z

@jk5000 Thanks for your feedback:) If you could tell me what was confusing, I would be truely grateful!

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-04T15:37:26Z

@m11 though it's echoed, thanks for your feedback:)

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-04T16:51:45Z

@erikengineengineer Thanks!

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-04T20:49:12Z

@ugly-robot Thanks for your thorough review! I should check my main contender now, I assume :D

UPD. Checked out Nuclide, really nice puzzle:)

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-05T00:15:49Z

@irwatts Thank you, it is really nice to know you convey some emotions through your work:)

Controls were my main concern. When porting to android I will try to implement thumb-spinning, the closest you can get to real spinner.

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-05T16:27:36Z

@foursay @bootak Thanks for your kind words :)

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-05T20:51:09Z

@agrdev Ha, I should make sound of bad things less pleasant then :)? Thanks for your feedback!

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-06T09:42:20Z

@timeload Thanks for playing!

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-06T09:48:35Z

@dsoberdan Thanks for your review, I am flattered.

My goal on this LD was "simple, but mastered", so no rush on levels and no overscoping.

I will leave some advices on your game, if you don't mind:)

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-06T09:50:32Z

@mathiouza Thanks for playing. I got to 150-ish only, so you played my game better than me :)

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-06T09:52:39Z

@dnabro thanks for your feedback! Almost every game mechanics is stolen from somewhere, am I right :D? Our job is to combine them into something new :)

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-06T09:55:22Z

@guinytime Thanks for playing and thanks for your idea. I don't know why it never occurred to me to make mouse controls, but for touchscreen I plan spinning thumb:)

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-07T19:16:42Z

@ddolgov Thank you!

P.S. You are from Russia, aren't you?

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-07T19:28:12Z

@hwaet Thank you for you time!

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-07T22:01:50Z

@oillen Thanks for your review. I will think about your "o"s and "-"s while rebuilding it for android :)

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-08T00:30:55Z

@cogcomp Thank you! I was trying to get "super hexagon"-ish vibe and aesthetics, but in much more relaxing and chilling way. I hope, I managed:)

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-08T20:28:52Z

@cauldron Thank you for your feedback!

@geckoo1337 Thanks! Спасибо :)

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-09T22:54:58Z

@tjm Thank you! I decided to simplify my project by setting all up in one scene, to be honest :) But for android release I am planning to redesign UI, so thanks for your suggestions.

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-11T22:58:09Z

@ddolgov Приятно узнать, что в России есть люди, увлеченные геймдевом:) Пока мне доводилось общаться только с иностранцами

Nucleus by mrBell270 2021-10-13T19:42:07Z

@kakapoy Thanks!

Eerie Erratic Expedition by Bloodbane 2021-10-04T14:53:51Z

Nice game Control are hard to grasp, but style is perfect. P.S. I got "virus warning" too

Noinun40 by Itzemii 2021-10-05T21:03:44Z

Nice game, reinventing old "match 3" in it's own way.

It would be nice to have some visuals on field looping, because I got it only when matched 3 :)

Anyway, art is very nice, sound is interesting and gameplay is fun.

Good work, and good luck:)

Antstable by kakapoy 2021-10-20T17:58:54Z

Very nice entry. Artwork and sound design are good, gameplay is fun and interesting!

Good luck!

绝地天通(Babel Blocks) by ELITTK 2021-10-06T16:36:44Z

Your game is fun! Keep up and good luck!

Unstable Memories by potkirland 2021-10-08T00:15:31Z

Wonderful artwork! It lacked sound a little bit, don't know if it is a bug or by design, but experience was really nice anyway.

Good work and good luck!

Weather Control Device by Krjemelik 2021-10-04T15:08:00Z

Nice simple game. I've heard there are chance to bugfix, so: 1. no sound 2. instead of reloading after death game crushes

Concept is nice: changing weather and surroundings. Take time after jam and try to make more of this idea. For example, if it rains and ground is muddy hero will move slower, and so on. Keep up!

P.S. St.Petersburg - like russian St.Petersburg?

Weather Control Device by Krjemelik 2021-10-04T16:50:27Z

@krjemelik Привет из Москвы (Hello from Moscow)

Reactor Cleanup by z0rly 2021-10-05T23:51:43Z

Nice concept, fun gameplay. I had same mouse problems, so could not get too far, unfortunately.

Yet, I had fun. Good work and good luck!

The Leaning Tower Of Pizza by erikengineengineer 2021-10-04T21:19:22Z

I love pizza, and I love that old game from buttons-time cells, where you need to build a tall house. At one moment I wanted to do something like this. Now I am glad I did not, because your version would destroy mine :D Great game :thumbsup_tone2:

Babel by cauldron 2021-10-08T19:35:15Z

Nice entry!

Very clean art, nice sound effects. Gameplay lacks some ambient music, but it is fun anyway.

Good work, keep up!

Roscharch by Casa Ocho 2021-10-05T23:45:48Z

Hmm.. I don't know wat it is, but i played it 16 times with all choises:) Strange experience:)

Alpha Decay by dsoberdan 2021-10-06T18:45:18Z

Your game is pretty nice for first gamejam entry, and your artstyle is wonderful!

"Harsh critic" mode is on.

Concept is very nice: creating particles by combining particles. It seems very real and science-y. But here lies the problem: this rules do not leave any place for creative thinking and exploration. Last levels are passed very fast, because there are not much to do, answer is on the surface because rules are pretty simple. I would advice to add unalterable (unchangable) cores, for example, or some kind of other modifiers to make players life harder. Or several cores to put protons to, only one with right configuration. It is puzzle, after all.

When participating in jam without platform restrictions try to build web-version first. It will be most avaliable to players and it will get more ratings.

On your time management I can advice same things everybody would: - Keep your scope in check. If you add new ideas, remove one of the old ones. You can add them back later. - Prioritize tasks, for example, for teamwork Steven Covey's priority matrix is a good place to start (but be sure to decide what is impotant and urgent to you). - Be ready to kill/cut some of your ideas. Time is always running out, don't hold onto features you will not be able to make.

One thing I can add myself: keep your project ready to submit at all times. It is counter-intuitive, but you better make game with 3 levels with sound, art and menu then "game" with 10 levels placeholder sprites or gamebreaking bug and without any sound-effects.

But do not take my criticism as bad opinion, please. Back to kind words now:)

Sound design and artwork are perfect. Gameplay is entertaining, but be ready to add new mechanics if you add more levels. You can totally develop this game into good time-killer game for mobile devices, thanks to your friendly style and easy-to-get mechanics. I really hope to see some progress on this idea, so I am following you on itch.io now :)

Good luck and keep up the good work!
