Unstable (jam version)Thank you very very very much for playing our game!!
There is a text tip right there saying that the platform will come back for you if you wait :)
The game's levels have been tested countless times and you can definitely finish it!
We are sorry if you had to experience any level design related problems! We hope to be able to fix such issues in the upcoming hotfix!
GREAT ARTSTYLE & ANIMATIONS

Typing TherapyTHANKS FOR PLAYING!
We are so sorry that you had to experience problems with being stuck in the game, there is an option to return to your last checkpoint by pressing "ESC" and selecting "Last Checkpoint" if the problem was game breaking.
The game's levels have been tested countless times and usually if a platforming puzzle feels difficult, it should be done within a few tries. We made sure the game is certainly finishable!
If by any means you were soft locked in the level, we deeply apologize. We will reconsider the level design in the upcoming update.
Thank you for your feedback!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING OUR GAME!!!
I'm so sorry that you had to experience that problem, it seems that we forgot to mention you can always get to the last checkpoint by pressing "ESC" if you're stuck in any way through the levels. Also it may be that the design of the levels themselves weren't good enough and we sincerely apologize for that!
We made sure to playtest the game's levels and make sure they can be done! It's likely for a puzzle to feel difficult but it's certainly doable!
We will make sure to fix any potential level design issues in future updates!
Have a beautiful night!
Really enjoyable to play. The monochrome pixel style is lovely, and the animation work is so smooth. Keep creating!

Bug On The BeatHell yeah. Monochrome art style is very rare to see nowadays and I can see that it's been done really well here. It really does deliver that "Long dead, infested world" the game is going for.
It was worth it, short, concise and enjoyable. Kept me hooked till the very end of it. I also loved how "Unstable" was delivered in the form of "debuffs" that were different throughout the game. If you guys are making this a full game, I'd say go for it. With a bit of polish and by introducing more ideas into the game, you can get to places :)
Now I know the game jam was only a week long but... pardon my nitpicking :)
The AI needs rework, it's usually good but it kept eating at the wall for me once, probably not a good sign from a game dev perspective. In longer levels it can happen more often.
The combat can also be more varied, in longer narrative platformers like this, things can get repetitive very fast so its good to remain creative so you keep on that hook.
Looking forward to how this turns out :)
I greatly appreciate your constructive feedback on our game.
First of all, I am very happy that you have played and enjoyed our game and it is great news to see it has kept you hooked!
Second of all, all of your points are correct and I completely understand. The AI definitely needs a rework, it's very basic right now and could favor a lot of pathfinding and target finding improvements. Reworks are already planned for the full version and a hotfix will be pushed as soon as the jam is over to fix any issues based on the feedback we receive from people like you <3
We are open to new ideas, always.
Thank you so much for playing our game!
