The amazing Unicycle Scientist has created the cure to literally every single problem in the world. But the evil super villain Pentagon Man does not want to see the world become a better place, and so he tries to stop Unicycle Scientist by blowing up their laboratory. Now it is up to the greatest scientist in the world to make it out of the collapsing building and save the cure.
Controls: [A] and [D] or left and right arrow keys to play.
Controls are responsive and just like a real unicycle you have to lean forward. Game itself is ok, but on my larger monitor the UI and intro is not scaled properly, might just be unity detecting the resolution badly though. Nice graphics and gameplay :) Next level might be to actually balance the chemical as well :D
Nice game! Funny concept with great art. The hard mode isn't joking around, I couldn't get past the first jump! I'm impressed that the scientist discovered the cure to everything without any fingers! Truly an inspiration.
Love the opening cut-scene (and voicing!) that really sets the tone for a fun little game. I get major QWOP vibes from it, which goes to show how a simple control scheme and an idea can still have a lot of merit to it. Sound effects were solid, and the music is bouncy and fun. It's a solid "just one more game" style title - well done :)
One of the biggest surprises of this LudumDare for me! Amazing art, polish, and mood! The gameplay (ESPECIALLY when not on Easy Mode) is pretty tough, but feels great after getting used to. Great job!

Really good looking game! That intro cutscene was very well-made as well, though I wish you could skip it. The gameplay reminds me of Excitebike, but now that I'm typing this, I realize it actually shares more in common with QWOP. The music is also pretty good. I think I'll try and beat this game after posting my comment.
EDIT: I'm a little late on reporting this, but I went back to the game and beat it first try! You two should be *very* proud of yourselves for managing to create this entry.

I especially liked that the face changes when the angle of the unicycle gets too steep.
