I played this game for 15000 years and still can't get the boulder up the mountain. Does life have any meaning?

Cool art and rave music :) but the controls are very difficult, maybe this is a bug, but only walking right and mouse buttons worked for me
The art perfectly matches the origin of the fable. But I am pretty bad in this game and can't push the rock up the mountain. The game is good, and the idea is also unique.
The art style its really good, you really catch the "fable aesthetic" very well
But I didn't handle the boulder that good :( It's pretty hard, but at the end,
that's how is supposed to be, frustrating u.u
Good luck in the JAM :D
Good idea!! The graphics are amazing, truly reminiscent of a greek myth. However, the controls are very difficult, on the seaboard WAS does not work at all, I played on my gamepad, but it was still inconvenient, maybe a little more inconvenient than necessary in games of this type. Cool idea with the growing high ball and overall a fun game!!
One must imagine sysyphus happy as he rolls his boulder around trying to get up the building to house music. Haha this game is rough, but I mean, that's kinda the point of the fable right? But this does feel like a solid game, and the art style is definitely unique to the feeling. No matter how far I stick my arms out though I can't seem to catch the damn boulder when it gets going into a failure spiral.
LMAO I can't get the bouldy up not cuz it's too heavy but it's too light and I can't pick it up! I look like a crazy dude running around longing for some cuddles, while the rock is just rolling around.
Really like the art style and the concept! It's fun! Sad that I couldn't even get to the scaling part.
This game lol. The clunky physics are really well done, they manage to create the frustration that these kind of games need to have.
Great job! :'D
