How does your game fit the theme?
We based it on the greek myth of Sisyphus. The player must climb the same mountain every loop.

Much trickier than it looks in the best way, and a great whimsical presentation from the artwork down to the music. Awesome work!
Aaah that's so sweet thank you! We wanted to bring a more friendly and cartoonish vibe to it, so I'm glad it passed the sentiment <3
Thanks a lot! We’re happy you enjoyed our game! :)
Amazing application of the myth of Sisyphus. Feels very very polished, overall 5/5, btw what brings me the most joy is to see other brazilians here :P
Thank you so much! :)
Bom demais ver mais joguinhos brasileiros por aqui! Vamos jogar o seu depois também :)
BEAUTIFUL game!!! I really wanted to make a game like this for the theme but my team said it would be too hard ;w;;
The mechanics are sick, the level design is great, and the music rocks! Insane job by everyone involved!
Thank you so much!!! We’re glad you love our game :)
And I’m personally happy you like my music too! Btw I just saw your game and I already love it, I’m definitely gonna play it later, so beautiful too!!!
Super fun! Loved the movement tech! Super cute style!
Thanks a lot! And thanks for playing too :)
Love the idea and tie in to the myth of Sisyphus. Art and sounds were nice. Great work!
Thank you! We’re glad you love our silly little game :)
I cannot stress how much this scratched my itch. satisfying and creative use of the prompt as well as amazing level design. cute little sounds and animations too!
my only qualm with this type of game is replayability. I'd love to see some more puzzles where I have to work on my route more! Awesome, absolutely awesome
Aaaaa I'm really glad!! I personally really love this kind of puzzle so it really means a lot to me that something I made is hitting the same way for someone else. Thank for playing!!
yo! this is unbearablyyy from twitch!
i'm easily a big fan of the art and the premise of this game. although i havent yet played thru all of it i can tell from the map size and whatever different mechanics exist that there was a lot of great work put into this game. gotta love my boy sisyphus as a dung beetle frfr this was fun af
YOOO thanks so much for playing on stream!! I'm glad our little guy made an impression!
Soo cute! I loove the designs of the characters (and the art in general).
Thank you so much! :)
Your game is so cute too btw!
Nice little game! Cute cutscene. :)

Thank you so much! :)
Love the art and the music, very fitting. The controls also feel quite nice. Great job.
Glad to hear that, thank you so much! We hope you enjoyed playing :)
Very nice learning curve and exploration is rewarding and exciting! Though I have not enough patience to finish the game, I played with a pleasure :)
Ha that's fine! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for playing! :)
I love the bug twist! I I think the tutorial does a really nice job at onboarding
Thank you!! I'm happy you think so. Making good tutorials was definitely the hardest part of level design haha
Thanks for playing! :)
Yo, very cool game, i love the little beetle and how you can throw it and it stick to the bricks and rocks xD
Good job on the music, like i very much love it, it fits well with the pressure of trying to run away, with out being too stressful. Very cute style, very adorable, keep it up :D
Thank you!! An early idea was to make a music that lasts exactly as long as a loop so we could use it to build time pressure. It's definitely one of my favorites parts of the game :3
We're glad you love it! Thanks for playing :)
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed my music too!
Jogo lindo maravilhoso!!!
Brigadooooo :3
Muito obrigadooo! :)
Amazing style and plot!!
Aaaa thanks a bunch!!!
Thanks a lot! :)
Sempre bom ver mais brasileiros por aqui!
suddenly caralho!!!!!
The character designs and art are amazing. And although the movement and inputs sometimes feels a little janky, the fact that there are so many ways to interact with the ball/chain moves together to solve problems made it a really fun play and provides a great challenge. :)
YESSS OUR CHARACTER DESIGNER POPPED OFF
Thanks for playing!! I'm glad you enjoyed controlling our little dung beetle :)
Thanks a lot for playing! :)
WAAHHH THANK U that means a lot ♡♡♡
incredible!! love the art, world design, and story
Thank you!! I'm glad each of our team members specialties got its chance to shine :)
Super charming, although getting stuck (or at least maybe its just jumps too hard for me) felt a little unfair, and not really fun. Although when you aren't stuck, its very much an enjoyable experience.
Apart from a few minor hiccups, good job.

Thanks for playing! Yeah, jumps can get a little finicky since you don't get air control :p
