This was an interesting experience! Pretty easy to get into the groove of, but also easy to make a mistake with. The default unity textures kept the player focused on the mechanics (except for a portion with some text a ways up?), but I think it'd be handy to have a bit more variation in the background - several times I didn't realize I was falling because the background was so consistent.
Nice boulder!
And agreed with the previous comment - wish upgrade wouldn't reset :)
Weirdly addicting. Wish upgrading your speed didn't send you back down the mountain.
Thanks :) My goal was to make a shop, and visiting it would mean abandoning your boulder so after discovering that you'd learn to only click while you're already falling. There was only time to add in a single upgrade and no shop location, so I just stayed true to the original vision and made it harmful to upgrade while going up.
I like the controls and the mechanics.
concept is nice but you should work a bit on your art :)

Those are default Unity textures btw, there is no art in the game to work on yet XD
One must image the reviewer happy.
If I hadn't something better to do, I would probably quickly code an Autohotkey script to click the boulder for me and then go drink a coffee. There's probably a metaphor in there somewhere, about how automation allows us to escape the toil laid on us by capricious gods or something.
Some texture to the ground or sky would have been nice, to improve the feeling of moving over the ground. To have something interesting to see. Maybe one of those fun 2d-parralax effects. The speed upgrade should not push me down the mountain.
