Much trickier than it looks in the best way, and a great whimsical presentation from the artwork down to the music. Awesome work!

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

Press Any Key to ContinueI 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

Do Dogs Dream Of Herdin' Sheep?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

Looming ThreadThe 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. :)
