Oh my gosh this was so hard! Props to you for putting the start button in the center below though.
From someone who doesn't know how to ride a unicycle in real life, this was a pain at first. I had to start over every 2 seconds (the crack effect helped xD)
But overtime, I realized, this game required skill! I finally passed 10 in score...and then the cycle got longer. Back to the drawing board of learning how to balance lol. I couldn't have had enough of trying not to fall off and instead slamming myself into the grass in the other direction instead.
Surprisingly enough though, it got really long yet was much easier to control...then the ground went *BOOM* Unfair! xD It was surprisingly still easy to balance though. In the end I finally died when the comet launched me into a flying pan, before I had a chance to react.
Nice game! Awesome physics I cannot have possibly seen myself creating yet (I need more big brain first)
Personally, I prefer the mouse controls as they are, as opposed to AD or Left Right. It requires skill and I think it's worth it.
*edit* I played again, tried to beat my score of 52. In the end I got launched into a flying pan again and lost at 54 xd
Wow, thanks for the thoughtful comment! It's impressive that you made it to 54, and your narration of the gameplay made us laugh out loud! xD
Your thoughts on the controls are quite helpful. We didn't realize how hard the game was until the jam feedback, and it's hard to know from our perspective whether the mouse controls are "challenging but learnable" or if they are simply wonky. Perhaps later we'll make a version of the game where it's easier to balance and where the game gives you time to get the hang of the controls.
Personally I would change the controls to AD or Left and Right Arrow as it is very very hard to control with your mouse. Non the less it does fit the theme great and it's a nice concept!
