Unity Awards 2009 Entries

The call for submissions for this year’s Unity Awards has gone out and already the entries are coming in! Here in this thread I’ll list each of the entries we’ve received and do so in the order they’re received (so no preference or opinion is implied from the order games are shown).

This thread will be locked as it is not a place for folks to offer comment on nor discuss the various entries. Instead, if developers want that sort of feedback they will be encouraged to start their own threads here in the Showcase area. Of course I will include those links here so everything is kept in one tidy, organized area.

Stand by as I’m now off to go begin processing the first batch of submissions…

Game Description:
Stay is a gamea bout action and reaction, a balancing game. The concept is simple, keep your red object on the seesaw for as long as possible. You keep things balanced by dropping more blocks onto the seesaw, but be careful because some blocks will behave badly and try to knock your red object off. The longer you play, the more chaotic it becomes.
