Unicycle Scientist Saves the World!

What Unicycle Scientist Was Made For

My friend and I joined Ludum Dare 49 and spent 72 hours creating this game from scratch. The theme was "unstable" and so we came up with the idea for a scientist with no legs who urgently needed to deliver the cure to everything while being chased by Pentagon Man.
Players control the character by controlling the speed of the wheel with the arrow keys. If the character or potion hit an obsticle, the player fails the run.

What I learnt

This game had the most realistic scope of all the game jams I've done. It also reinforces that good games have simple mechanics that can be polished in the given time-frame.
