Unlevel is a little platformer where the levels are bit unstable. You can tilt the levels (or Unlevel them) to reach new heights and capture all the flags.

Additional controls: - 'r' to restart the current level - 'n' to go to the next level - backspace to return to the title screen - 'e' to toggle shader

The game was made using Love2d, LDTK and Aseprite.

Really cool that you took basic jumping and turned it into a weaird tilt and fling sort of thing.

Very nice game! The mechanics are fun, and the color palette is really nice. The transitions that play when you die or beat a level are a great touch as well. Really enjoyed playing this!

Super interesting! Game was fun, graphics and sound were great. Really liked the screen transitions and effects when you died (though wish the death one was a bit faster so I could get back to it without waiting). Overall great work!

Really fun game! The concept is really cool, I'd add some audio then it'd be perfect :) Good work for 48 hours

Nifty. Man I fell so hard for that ice bit on level 2. Great graphics and scene transitions

Nice little game. Level 2 got me too.

The death animation felt a little too long.

This is a cool idea. And after a while of playing the controls feel intuitive. And some tricky levels in there. I liked the effect between the levels, fits the theme. In some levels actual cursor movement was not needed (but allowed to solve without tilding). Maybe disable (with a story reason) any only use the tilding to move.

Fresh idea, well executed! Good job. The whole look of the game is super cute - love the penguin's walk cycle, and the snap of the level shifts is satisfying. I didn't fully come to terms with how to do long jumps off of ice, had to skip the second-to-last level (not counting the end screen). Really good call to have a next level key in a jam game!

Nice :) The controls and the pastel visuals really stand out from the usual LD entries.

Really nice mechanic! Visual style was great also, I loved the penguin :D And so many levels!
One technical issue was that the window was quite small, and maximising it broke the rendering: https://seafile.wheybags.com/f/4145b47303564a6db6d7/

I really like the combination of puzzle and platformer that arise from the mechanics!
Feels very finished/polished too!

Really well done and polished.

I didn't like it when the level would tilt out of the camera.

Really cool, and hard game. I did manage to beat it, and I kinda hate platformers.

This is really cute, I think the game is awesome but could be even better if it was a simple one button game that just need good timging between sliding on the ice and pivoting the screen to jump. Anyway i had a really good time :) Well done

This is one of my favorites I've played so far! It's an inventive idea with enough levels to explore the concept. Nice and clean art with pleasing level transitions. I don't have much feedback other than some music and extra audio feedback would really help. Great game.

Awesome game. Great puzzle design, a unique concept, and lots of little moments of discovery. I loved it! The sound could be better: It feels like it is missing music, but other than that I love it. Great stuff, thanks for sharing!

Really interesting mechanic! You've done a really good job exploring it. I wish there would just be more mechanics introduced later on to further explore the main mechanic.
Overall I really enjoyed this puzzle platformer, great job!

I've been spending a lot of time at home lately, so I decided to look for a hobby that doesn't require going outside. Of all the offers that I found, I liked the online casino the most. After all, here you can get really bright emotions and a nice bonus. And in order not to take risks even at the start, in this article https://bezdepozytu.com.pl/kasyna-z-minimalnym-depozytem/ I learned about a casino with a minimum deposit. And I was able to start playing on favorable terms for me.
