Wobble Down

Concept - Story

You're a hiker walking or racing down a mountain, and your only goal is to stay upright! In the distance, you can see deep into the valley, where your hometown lies waiting. But you're not the best hiker, and your posture is pretty wobbly so don't fall over!

The character moves automatically—it's up to you to tilt and balance in all directions to avoid falling over. The mountain is snowy, windy, bumpy, and full of tricky terrain that will test your reflexes and control. Can you keep your footing and make it all the way to the cozy town in the valley without falling?

What I wanted… but didn’t quite finish (ah, Game Jam struggles!)

I ended up making the level way too big and had to rush to fill it with some content. I had planned to add more obstacles to challenge your balance, but hopefully, it still gets the idea across!

And I couldn’t really test it. So hey, bugs are free, I guess!

Sometimes the camera is in the ground, ups...

How to Play

- Keep the balance: W/A/S/D
- Run Faster: E
- Run Slower: Q
- Pause: Escape

You can see the hiker’s balance in the corner of the screen, or reflected in the character’s spine posture. The faster you go, the more force is applied to your balance.
