You are a creature in a bubble being experimented on against your will - and now’s your chance to break free and become stable.

Run and dodge from the doctor’s chase - and their tranquilizer guns - until enough of your power has built up.

They know nothing of what you are capable of . . .

I think that everything does not work perfectly,
the explosion only works once and we are stuck when we go to the credits x) but it's a nice game anyway, concept is great.

Certainly an interesting concept, but unfortunately for me I wasn't able to get very far because I was only able to explode once. On top of fixing that bug, I think having it recharge faster (I assume that's what the blue bar is for) would generally be a good idea, as it would allow for faster-paced gameplay rather than forcing the player to kite the enemies and stall for a looooong time before recharging.

That said, I really like the music; it's well-made and definitely feels like it fits the unstable theme!

Is there a way to make a web version?

@johnsensei Unfortunatly, no.. we used Unreal Engine 5, which has no native support.

A pretty buggy game but I do see where the concept is. Really cool explosions and ragdoll physics, but other than that, I think I struggled to get into the end of the game. I'm not even sure where the end is. I also have log spams of Hellos near the end. But yea, could definitely use some polishing.
