This is my submission for the Ludem Dare Jam 49. The theme is Unstable and I figured a good idea would be to have some sort of game based on those boards with the marbles and you have to get the marbles into the holes.

In this game, you play on a board that gets lifted up off the ground and is stable for a random amount of time. Then it becomes unstable with each of the three points having a chance to fall down. Also there are 4 balls on the board, which you control one at a time and randomly get switched. The current ball you're moving will be a Yellow Color.

There are 4 scoring points on the board (squares and hemi-spheres) passing a scoring ball though a scoring point scores you points. But a Non Scoring ball passing through the point takes away some points.

Player Movement is with WASD or Arrow keys.

I learned A LOT doing this jam. Like how joints work inside of Unity and also how to resize UI Images (Although that part got cut out it was a learning lesson)

I thought the game was a little confusing, I couldn't figure out which which balls were supposed to go into which of the larger balls/cubes. But I'd say this fits the theme pretty well!

Oh and I was able to get a high score of 60!

I was a little confused about what my objective was while rolling around but it was a fun idea! Trying to fight against the random angle of the ground was a nice challenge :)

First off: Welcome to Ludum Dare! :)

I actually liked playing the game, though a winning/ losing condition would've definitely helped reinforce the rules of the game a bit more. All in all though a very cool first entry! I still haven't mustered up the courage to work in 3D, so big kudos to you!
