Unstoppaball DX
Unstoppaball DX is a physics-puzzler, in which the the player tries to lead a fragile sphere through beautiful yet dangerous environments.
It features 30 levels in two distict artstyles (“aqueduct” and “cyberspace”), statistics and achievements, hidden challenges within the level, and a beautiful soundtrack.
It was made by me for the 5th semester of game-design school, where it received a perfect grade and remained the best game for another semester. It has been entered in the Kongregate/Unity-Contest of 2011, where it ranked 37th out of over 600 entries. It has been nominated for Unity Award 2011. During this procedure it was presented at the Unite 11-conference in San Francisco. It can also be found on the unity-website, where it is listed as a noteworthy game made with Unity. The game also competed in the IGF 2011, and was part of the successful 99%-Bundle.
It is also available in the appstore, where it has been downloaded more than 25.000 times. It ranked #1 in downloads for a few weeks in Spain, Portugal and Italy. It is also available for Android. On mobile-devies it is controlled by tilting.
