My submission for Ludum Dare 49, Unstable.

To fit the theme, I rolled the idea of net stability. Of course when does net stability matter most? Well, how about a game with online functionality?

I never gave this character a name in game, but I've been calling her 'byte' since computers/food y'know.
A few things to mention. I added some keybinds to make things easier when playing. R for router; F for Pc; and Spacebar for keyboard.
Also press C on the difficulty selection screen for my "custom night". I haven't gotten more than 6 points in the mode though, so good luck.

(No audio, so Imma opt of out that category)

Can you upload an embedded web build?
Looks like a fun game though!
I wonder if the file just needs to be rezipped - I'll check back because I'm really looking forward to trying this!
And as a last ditch effort I added the assets as a seperate download. If you have Processing (3 or 4, both work) then you can open the file directly with the source code.
now onto what i though, this game was so stinking cute and was a fun twist on the theme, you could also say that the angry customers are unstable too LOL, i had alot of fun playing the game! i havent gotten that many points so far but im gonna keep trying! the artwork was super cute, "Byte" is the cutest little robo bean...the only thing i do wish for is some sort of audio, but i understand especially on a time crunch that can be hard to implement but other than that this was a delightful experience!
It's fun. I like basically all of it, but it's too unstable for me. Oh, I love that pressing space mashed the in-game keyboard.
Well done!
Things ren't necessarily clear at the start but I'd argue that that's part of the experience.
Really cute graphics too!
Got 11 in custom night btw :3
The artwork is really great. The main character is adorable and there's lots of nice little flourished in the animation I really appreciated.
My biggest critique is that the platforming didn't feel amazing - a bit to prone to bumping my head, if that makes sense. Getting platforming to good in a compo is really tough!
I really liked the different layers to how you interpreted the theme - and your own game title. All in all, a pretty solid entry.
Congrats, it was very cool :) and the graphics are cute!
