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.

Amazing game design and mechanics.
Thank you so much! :)
One of the few games that lets the player explore a large map. Loved the exploration and the polish.
I think maybe being able to control the player mid air, helps the controls. just a personal preference.
would love to see your feedback about my game too ^^
Thanks!! Not being able to control the player in the air can feel a little clunky, but it was something we decided was worth it for the puzzles it allowed us to make
I understand. sometimes, you should make hard decisions as a game designer
Probably my favorite game in the jam.
That's high praise! Thanks!
Omg that's amazing to know, thanks so much! :)
What can I say, I'm a fan of bugs and dung and Greek mythology haha
lol if you are also a fan of knowledge based metroidvania, you should also check our other game we're making called Soulchain (it's on Steam) ;)
Was expecting something along the lines of Minnit, this was a platforming take on that, good fun little game. Well done
It was definitely one of our inspirations. I'm glad you like our take on it!
Wow very cool
Thank you so much! :)
Really cute, love the character designs! You did a fantastic job with the art Jana <3
The music was nice too and the little story at the start was quite charming. It was a bit tedious to play in some parts, but overall I had fun trying all the different paths out.
Omg Jana spoke about you, I defenitely have to play your game later too, it looks amazing!
Thanks for playing ours, we hope you enjoyed it! :)
AAAA Thanks Tetraaa it means a lot coming from you! Glad you enjoyed it ♡♡
This is such a cute game! I love the story and the art :)) It's very fun to play
Glad to know you enjoyed! Thank you so much! :)
Very impressive game, love the art, and the level design is superb
That's kind of you! Thanks for playing! :)
Amazing game! I loved trying to discover the tech on my own, and learning the throw-jump-throw-recall combo was awesome.
Thanks a lot! Glad to know you enjoyed playing our game! :)
love the concept and the art! The extra mechanics are a super fun take on the myth! Super enjoyable to play
Thank you so much! We're happy you enjoyed our little game! :)
Liked the concept and mechanics, very well tutorialized one at a time. Just didnt finish in time xD
Thanks a lot, and we're glad you enjoyed playing! :)
We hope you can manage to reach the top too!
Cool game
Thank you! :)
Wow I was blown away by this! The art is gorgeous, the controls are super fun and satisfying (after a little practice) and the map was very well put together. I did not expect to see such an enjoyable "metroidbrainia" in a game jam. Amazing job!
Ahh thank you so much!! That's super nice to hear ♡ I'm excited to play your game later today, and your other works look so nice too
Omg thank you so much, that’s kind of you!
We hope you enjoyed our little game and thanks for playing! I love your game too, so cute! I have to play it later :)
Btw if you like “metroidbrainias”, we are making an even bigger one called Soulchain (it’s on Steam), I think you should check it out! ;)
I was actually very surprised by the fire! it was fun to go around :D
Glad to know you enjoyed our silly little game, thanks for playing! :))
This game is incredible! Great work!
That’s kind of you, thanks a lot! :)
We hope you enjoyed our little game!
Btw we’re making an even bigger metroidvania called Soulchain (it’s on Steam), you should check it out! ;)
Nice, I'll check it out
Thanks!
A really cool game, the exploration is fun, just wish there was more time to explore, 1 minute seems really restrictive.
Thanks a lot! We hope you enjoyed playing it :)
And yeah the idea is to give this sense of urgency, and to learn new tech through this minute!
Wonderful game - learning the mechanics through exploration was great, and the addition of little bits of narrative even in sections which were otherwise dead ends made each loop feel worthwhile. The moveset is nice and diverse, making working out how to progress a fun little puzzle with just enough mechanical challenge and time pressure :)
Art is lovely, my favourite part being mantis Zeus in the opening cutscene :) the music is great too, and really helps build that sense of urgency
YESSSS I'm so glad you liked it!! And specially our old man Zeus, he came to me in a vision...
Thanks a lot ♡♡
Thank you so much for that! We hope you enjoyed our little game and thanks for playing :))
I’m personally glad you like my music too!
Btw we’re making an even bigger metroidvania, called Soulchain (it’s on Steam), I think you’ll love it too ;)
Pretty cool game about playing with sh*t.
lol thank you so much! :)
It was funny, but I sometimes had some serious problems with the jump. I wish I could reach the top.
Thanks for playing! :)
If you need any help, there’s a walkthrough video on the game page! We hope you can reach the top! ;)
Easy 5 starts in every category, incredible game, really impressive level design. (e ainda é um time brasileiro?? mto foda!! 🇧🇷 )
Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you!!! :)
