Deep plat-o-ball by Anshul K
Your main goal is to reach the last plate. Your character is a sphere and you can't control the sphere but you can control the plates. You can only control the plates. All of the plates move at once. Move the sphere towards the end (red) plate to win! (You can move tilt the plates how much ever you want!)
I will be adding post-jam and updated versions.

Tools used
- Unity 2021.1.3f1
- Visual Studio Community 2019
- FreeCAD 0.19
Gameplay controls
- Move plate = WASD keys (W and S keys to tilt plate and A and D keys to rotate plate on YAxis)

Have you thought of the "exit" of a plate being special? Like, a jump? Or teleport to somewhere else? A plate with a hole somewhere in the middle instead of gate? etc. You could make many different levels with a few of these variations.
1: The ability to move the camera with the mouse would be very helpful! Sometimes (even in the post jam version) it was hard to tell where I was going.
2: You should consider adding a different physics material to the wall of the plates from their floor, and reduce the friction on the walls. You can kind of use the fact that the walls have friction on the balls to your advantage to cheese it a bit
Again, excellent job, I hope you continue to enter game jams and do game development, as you clearly have a great deal of skill for it!
Congrats on submitting!
Somehow I really enjoyed figuring out the direction of gravity at any point, and I wonder what this would be like if you also had trampoline-like platforms where the ball bounces higher, or auto-rotating platforms etc. Really got the gears in my brain turning! :D
