Nice idea, like the reversal adn the art. Camera shake and SFX were maybe a bit extreme but nice work for a weekend jam!
Love the intro. It was quite hard jumping with the camera shake but still a great game
Lol! Great intro, you have an epic game :) Love this!
Music was a bit quiet compared to the sound effects and the jumps could do with a little hang time on them, but other than that the concept is really fun, the jokes are funny and the game mostly feels pretty good to control. Good job!
Lovely intro! :D
I was absolutely GUTTED when my wizard guy died... then absolutely ASTOUNDED that it was I who was the boulder and got to roll around and DESTROY HEROES!! Amazing game!! I'm not sure how to feel about the camera shake -- it makes the game harder to judge where you are on the platform but also really immerses you in the fact you are like a 100 ton jumping boulder -- take that as you will I suppose -- awesome submission!!
People seem upset about the camera shake but imo it's genius
Could have used more camera shake :D Damn I almost got head trauma from playing this. Nice job over all but could have used less camera shake. Sure it was funny but made the game harder and more annoying.
loved the intro, great sound effects & polish. You might only want to play the impact effects when the boulder is hitting something with a certain speed to improve visibility. And it's actually possible to clip into the ceiling when holding right while falling into a level :). Otherwise great (and quite tough) game!
The sound effects are very juicy and the game seems very polished overall. Camera shake is maybe a little bit too strong for the platforming parts but other than that this is a great submission. Well done!
The sound effects scared me. The movment feelt very boulder like. I gave up on the level with the sharks because it was too dificult for me.
The beginning is very funny, the game was very fun to. The only thing I would change is the screen shaking.
Funny beginning! I also liked the movement of the boulder, felt satisfying. I would also reduce the screen shake a bit. Nice
Great game, even if it's a bit too hard for me! (Though it is kinda fitting since you are platforming as a boulder... :D) I think there should be atleast one floor without the lava first so the player could practice platforming without getting punished by not having the grasp of the controls.
Thank you for playing and thoughts!
Very polished and fun to play. The difficulty in controlling the boulder really shows why not that many boulders can achive something other than crushing heroes in their lives
Thanks for playing:D
ofc hammerhead sharks can crush the rock, because their heads are hammer ;)
that was so adorable, I enjoyed this game!
Haha, thank you for playing:D
I remember seeing this one on the progress pics Discord channel, love to see the final result, it even has a dialogue system, congrats!
Really cool game too hard for my blood at some points :p
great game! it looks awesome and feels good to play. Tons of content for 48 hours
Very funny and well executed!
