How does your game fit the theme?
you push your boulder through a loop, and the game is a loop, and its inspired by Sisyphus' endless loop.

Just keep pushing! :)
Nice game, it has a kind of Monty Python vibes going on, with that hand and music, loved it :)
It would be cool to have some control over actions, though - now it feels more like a movie. E.g. it can be some bar when you want to push at the right moment to strike furthest (like in a pool/golf game, for example). On the other hand, it seems like you staged every throw pretty well - looks like the path of the boulder flight was carefully drawn for each speed, so it often feels like "oh, almost there!"
Really fun game, the music and sound effects are cool
Amazing but I agree with the other, it should have more upgrades
I agree with the previous commenters, the game would benefit from different upgrades and maybe timed cherge-up pushes. Keep it up!
Cool idea, but lack player agency. Different upgrades, one-time sales, tweaking direction of the push, etc. could really take the game to the next level.
Nice concept, I wish those stones stayed in place or had a bigger impact for future runs.
Very creative concept, I wish there was more to do to influence the game. It was fun to see the ball rolling hahaha
