Unstable Arena by Caleb Bennetts

[raw]
made by Caleb Bennetts for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

A chaotic battle against bouncing beasties.

Unstable Arena is all about finding creative ways to kill the relentless "Beasties" before they kill you. Use your limited arsenal of arrows to kill Beasties directly, drop rocks on them, and more.

The theme is served literally by physics- enabled rocks, which you can topple over onto enemies, and tonally by the frenetic pace intended for the game.

While my level design admittedly leaves something to be desired, the starring features are the multifunctional arrows and the Beasties' mob AI, which I designed to allow a large number of enemies while using minimal computer resources.

Play with a mouse and keyboard.

interesting idea ! But maybe need some transition between each level. At the beginning, I was a little bit lost ^^'
But great start for your first Jam :D

I like the idea. Very challenging! It would be great to see the idea applied to larger levels.
