Unstable by mrosegreen
A game of balance and chemistry.
Instructions
Use the Left and Right keys to move the paddles.
Stack the chemicals to make a pile that passes the goal line.
The pile must stay above the line for at least 3 seconds.
Try to reach the goal line in the fastest time possible.
Remember - green and blue chemicals will react with each other and change its form, so be careful!
This is a quick game I made during my off-time - I had a fun idea for a spin on the theme, so I decided to run with it!
Hope that you enjoy the game :slight_smile:

I think the game would improve if it were a little slower, or if at least it started slow and then ramped up. I basically never had any time to react to the color of a cube, much less attempt to place it somewhere, and if I did manage to do it for one paddle, I certainly didn't manage it for the other. I think slowing the game down would do a lot to mitigate that. I'm not sure still how much control one really has over where something goes. The paddles really only seem good at changing whether something is moving vertically, when this game's mechanics are more concerned with where something is horizontally. Maybe if there were only one paddle and you could move the paddle around in addition to just flopping it back and forth?
Anyway, after I gave up on controlling the cubes, I just let the game alone and watched the cubes fall where they may. It makes for a nice screensaver.
I also didn't feel like I had much control over my tower so I couldn't really try and make it efficiently just hope that it would work out.
The concept is really good and it worked really well!
