Interesting challenge ! The theme is not really present in the gameplay. Try to vote for people to have feedback !

An interesting and quite well executed game with neat visuals. I tried a few times and got quite far I think, is there an end? Would've liked the movement to be just be a bit more speedy. Good job overall!

Thank you both for the feedback!

@msalison Totally agree, we worked sideways from the theme. Yeah, we need to vote on more games. Thanks for playing!

@erkberg Thank you! There is an end around 500m, but it's pretty tricky to get there (we were pushing near the end of the jam, but I can confirm that beating the game is possible) Thanks for playing!

I like this idea and the visual effects of the game. I have challenged it many times, but the level seems really long.

It's a little sad that I got stuck in this place for the last time.

Loved the calming music, enjoyed the devastation of my rocky boi!~

Really nice that you planned on people being cheeky!

Only issue: Menu doesn't work with mouse apparently, took me a while to figure out I needed to hit space.

Very neat. I haven't tried a lot of games yet but this seems like a pretty unique idea. It would work great as a mobile game too, controlling the boulder by tilting the phone.

Pretty good game. Nice music as well.

One thing about the main menu, it's not clear to press space to start the game. Maybe add text which says "Press space to start", "Press ESC to quit".

Thank you all for your input!

@yinian Thanks for playing it! It is pretty long. The level goes about 500m down.
I think maybe I'd make that opening a *little* larger now; I always felt just barely too big to make it.

@magnanix Thank you! :D

@mickxe Thanks! I like that idea lot too.

@keyurrana Thank you for playing!

On the menu controls: Thank you for your input! That was my bad, I'll definitely either support mouse on menus in the future or make it clear it's keyboard-only.
