How does your game fit the theme?
An endless cycle of push and pull-- it's a loop. It always starts and ends the same.

As a Albert Camus fan I LOVE THIS! Thank you for making that!!!

The loop always ends the same. Interesting take on the theme and a nice experience overall. Music + art is great.

Submitted

Art is on point!!!!!!!!!!!

Submitted

Interesting game, the art is great, especially the characters you can talk to in the background.

I would have like some variation in the slope to force the player to push more or less.

I did play through the loop 3 times, trying to get past what I knew was insurmountable so I guess I ended up being Siphus too.

Interesting story game. Not really a solid gameplay loop beyond pushing the rock and pressing E to interact, but I liked the theming.

One must imagine Siphus happy

I was completely drawn in by the gorgeous cosmic art and those deep, resonant rock-shifting sounds—the weight behind each push felt so satisfying. Definitely excited to see this world expanded—there’s real potential here!

Submitted

Very cool artwork and great sound choice. Can see the potential for something more expansive.

Interesting experience for sure ! the sound design is simple but convey the weight of the rock, the artistic direction is great. gameplay-wise it feels weird to still be able to push the rock even when it is far away. Also the dialogs of the NPCs should appear above, because they overlapped with the dialog of the main character and I had to replay multiple times to get to read them fully (also who is "him" in the end? I didn't get it)

Interesting theme, good work! GODOT FOREVER!! ✊

I love the graphic style, and the theme is particularly fitting

Submitted

This is hauntingly beautiful, the art direction feels like something out of a dream, and the atmosphere pulls you in immediately. The looping theme comes through not just in the gameplay, but in the feeling of futility and repetition, which made it hit even harder. I got stuck near the end, but honestly didn’t mind, I just wanted to exist in that world a bit longer. Would love to see this expanded post-jam. Amazing work!
