Gem of Stability

My entry for Ludum Dare 49 - the theme was "Unstable."

Protect the Gem of Stability while balancing on a precariously placed board, keeping enemies at bay and facing strong winds. Can you get the highest score in this unstable arcade game?

CONTROLS:

Left and right arrow keys/A and D keys - Balance

Left mouse button - Shoot

Gameplay info: The goal of the game is to not fall down. Enemies will try to get to the gem under your board. If they get to it, they will self-destruct and imbue it with dark magic, turning it into a Gem of Unstability for 3 seconds. During this time the board is unaffected by your movement, and instead leans 10 degrees in whatever direction it was leaning when the enemy hit the gem. If multiple enemies get to it in a row, you’ll get put in a dangerous situation!

Another Ludum Dare, another small game done. Feels great! This time I wanted to try making a really expressive character. I hope you have lots of fun playing!
