U.N.S.T.A.B.L.E. by koalaura
Our game is all about U.N.S.T.A.B.L.E. as an acronym. We tried to make weird little sentences out of these letters that we turned into mini-games. But the mini-games are unstable themselves, and sometimes take an unexpected turn.
We originally wanted to make tons of minigames, but you know how it is with gamejams. We could only make a few, but please just imagine we made like 20! ;)
Thank you so much for playing!
- Developing: @re-markable
- Art/Animation/Audio: @mizuiro
- Art/Audio/VFX: @koalaura
We only used 3rd-party assets for the fonts and the audio (which we then edited ourselves), and checked the licenses on all of those.
Known issues:
- Sometimes you randomly get a game over at the beginning of the smashing eggs level. To prevent that from happening, press space immediately at the beginning of the level and it should be fixed!
- The probability of some minigames appearing is too low right now, we're gonna fix that!
- In the sausage dog level, the player moves a bit too slow and that sometimes makes it impossible to pass the level
- It's not always immediately clear what the player should do at the start of a level
We'll try and fix most of these tonight and post an updated version (we'll keep the original one up of course). Maybe we'll develop this little game more in the future as well!
Thanks for understanding and thank you for playing!

And thank you! We loved adding little animations and expressions!:)
We're going to look for a way to make it more clear what the player should do in each level!
Thank you for playing and for your feedback!!
Maybe Norman didn't know what he was doing and actually broke their ship? :(
Thank you for playing and for your feedback!!
I also like the second stage is for the revenge.... This game is hilarious. Good job!
The game is really f a s t :race_car: but it also means that it's hard to follow ;o
The aesthetic of the game is very nice! Well done
It's just crazy and nonsense and you don't know what to do from the beggining. Pure chaos! I love it!
Liked the mechanics of the minigames, and also the music and graphics. All fitting for the concept.
Congrats on developing these games!
Played the initial bugfix version since bug fixes are allowed and I've done a few myself.
Wish there were sound effects. Sausage dog game was way more unforgiving than smash egg game. I disagree that it's unclear what players need to do, but there's no time to read the sentence that tells you what to do in some of them like sausage dog. Did not experience the random game over bug in smash egg. Wish I had more time to read the sentences, realized they're ALL acronyms of unstable, thought it was one like sentence starts with U, sentence starts with N.... etc. would be cool to appreciate the acronyms better.
Really love the aesthetic, music was a little too repetitive without sound effects. Liked that the games seemed to be getting harder each time it went through? alien and boy shot faster. Ufo is ingrate, I fixed it and then it shoots me? Seems different alien though, different color. Maybe it's just the ufo that's angry, alien seems confused and looks around, very cute animation.
I had fun overall! Good entry!
