Cool concept for the game! I did have a hard time with the controls and every time I got the character on steep terrain the boulder would fall behind me. So, I'd have to hit q, but the movements were still labored even without pushing the boulder, so it took a while to get back to where I'd reached. 

The pacing for gameplay could use some work... I could see this working really well if the character moved in a rhymical manner or if you had premade push and climb animations ... The timing for each Lighting strike would be predictable sort of like a percussion, but you still wouldn't know where it hits. The bird could fly a little slower so you could have more time to react, and you can even add a health bar on it. 

The art style really works for this, and it's still a very inspired take on the theme of power... I think there's a lot you have so far that could make for a pretty good game!

Great idea! I think with some tweaking I would enjoy the game more. I saw some people mention a checkpoint system or mechanics that felt more fair. I am also not seeing how this fits the theme of power. I felt pretty powerless playing this. The art style and movement looks great!

good idea

Definitely an interesting idea and I think it could really work. Like the previous post, I definitely struggled with a number of the mechanics. I found it really hard to hit the vulture with a vase at all and it seemed to ignore half of the times I hit it. Having to restart at the beginning everytime he grabbed the rock because it would always drop behind me also felt pretty bad. Maybe adding things like checkpoints and having Q return you to the last checkpoint would alleviate this a bit. Otherwise the art style was pretty great so I think this has a lot of promise.

Thanks for your submission!

I enjoyed the idea of the game but most of the struggles I met during gameplay were out of my control. I couldn’t do anything to avoid being hit or have the vulture put the rock behind my back, which creates a negative feeling instead of the “ohh I want to try again” feeling we get when we hit a pipe in Flappy bird.

I think there would be a potential here if the challenges were environmental, in the map, like rocks on the floor or stuff in the way that would make the rock Sisyphus behave funny, the player would need to make sure the rock passes instead of randomly being hit by chance.

I enjoyed this game! The art was great and I enjoyed the gameplay too. I like the idea of making a game based on the myth of Sisyphus! Solid entry!

Good concept !  I find it a bit tedious to go back to the very beginning of the map as soon as we pass the rock, which is quite frequent with the lightning. Well done !

This is definitely one of the most creative takes on the theme. Awesome concept. The bird stealing the stone...nah. I never feel like I get a chance to push the rock up the hill.
The fixed version on github has the same issue. Bird is too fast and too often.
I love the holy sh#t and the lightning bolt though.
Great work!

I love the concept of the gameplay, humorous too - but you can't go backwards.  That by itself isn't bad, but it's very easy to lose the boulder by accidentally flicking it behind you...  So I have to restart frequently.

Bird stole my stone 

Very nice graphics and idea. However, you might need to work a bit on the gameplay as for example I was not really able to throw the vases and sometimes the physics felt a bit strange (hard to explain :) ).

You might need to check the challenges you selected, I do not think it fits in the js13kGames category.

Good graphic, but text and gameplay more repair again. 

For some reason, the bird took away my stone and began to walk further without the stone. This is fine?

Bird, give back my stone! I want to continue my Sisyphean work!

Doesn't fit the js13kGames rules

very nice character model and movement animations.

The core idea is so good. But it is hard to play because you accidentally pass the rock and when it is behind you need to start over, or am I missing something. Yeah Sisyphos story is about starting over but the rock is not rolling, I am going too fast for the rock :) Maybe fast walking would be good. But like I said the idea is very good, you can create a Bennet Foddy style game from it.
