Coziest Sisyphus simulation game!
Very relaxing and cozy atmosphere ✨
Love the contemplative vibe of this game.
I pushed the ball until it disappeared ⛰️⛄
I pushed Margarete around for a while. Will come back.
Great pixel art. And vibes.
I really like the artstyle! I truly feel a cozy winter vibe while playing the game.
i'd appreciate it if you could play our game too :)
I got to 19.93 meters and then my snow orb rolled over me harmlessly and disappeared. Then I kept running forever.
Great job! One of my favorites so far.
Yes we gotta move foward, leave the snowball behind.
Thanks for playing!
I love the retro vibes! The gameplay is simple but ties in so well with the artstyle.
Thanks for playing! ^_^ ^_^
Love the vibe !
Very simple and straightforward concept but still i stayed rolling my snowball to see how big it could get !
That's the type of projects that know how to handle a small scope, WP !
Hey thanks for playing! I had to finish the game within few hours, so had to set the scope as small as possible. Glad you liked it!
Really simple and yet very well done ! Everything feels really good ! Very Cozy ! Good job !
Haha thank you for the comment!
Ooh, the atmosphere is incredibly well done. I love the art style and all the details, like the parallax in the background and the ambience! I do wish there were a few more terrain details, like maybe some more small trees or rocks in the background. Overall definitely very cozy :)
Lost my snowball at 19m lol
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the atmosphere.
Cool art style, cool polished level, cool ambient sounds. Maybe a little more interaction would have been nice but it's pretty good. Good job !
Thanks for the cool comment! As you said I should add some content later :)
Such a nice game of rolling a snowball, I really enjoyed it!
Also the chords every meter were such a nice addition
Thank you for the comment. Adding guitar sound was a decision made at very last, glad it worked out well!
First of all, the game was very dramatic for me. I named my snowball Roro. As we progressed, I got thirsty and went to get water. When I came back, I saw that Roro had left me and chosen to continue the journey on his own. I waited for a long time, but Koko didn't come back.
Yeah we need to keep eye on snowball folks. But I'm sure Roro is happy out there.
Thanks for playing!
Simple but elegant ( º﹃º ) Eventually the snowball gets too big and roll over the player's head ahaha
Hey thanks for playing! ^_^
I wanted to see how far I can push it and well, "Snowy" got really big until the point, i broke the game xd
Really nice game, the visuals and feel are very cozy and i really really liked it!
Thank you for playing. Snowy is very cute name.
And great timing on screenshot!
I love the art and music, the style is perfect, and the music complements it so well. The pixel look is great, and the riff that plays when it grows by a meter is quite satisfying, touché on that. However, I lost my ball -10/10 game I want my ball back :(. (Joking I loved it till the very end)
Haha thanks for playing! At this point I think losing snowball completes the gameplay lol
At around 19m I lost my ball :(. I really liked this chill lowfi atmosphere though and I was convinced I'd make the biggest ball ever. Good work, I gave you full stars for everything ha.
Yay full stars! Thanks for playing :)
Pro tip: Always keep an eye on your snowball
I lost my snowball too, I wanted it to grow big before I named it… Cute art and I like the game feel ^^
Very impetuous snowball. Hope it is happy out there.
Thanks for playing!
I love the art of this little game. The sounds are great, the visual effects with the VHS filter, the old look and the sun on the snow ball make it look really good! It lacks of some sort of objective or story but it was a nice and cozy experience!
Thanks for the kind words. The game is a bit empty but I'm glad you liked it!
Wanted to grow the snowball so it would cover the whole screen. Snowball grew so much it rolled over me and escaped. Started over. Is this how Sisyphus feel?
Lol Thank you for playing! Must have been huge snowball
Everything is well designed, love the sound of it congrats :). But yeah after 4m no need to push it anymore ahah, my little snowball got independant and grew by himself, poetic, if only i could see him one last time :'(
Yeah how time flies.. I also remember when my snowball was 0.5m.
Anyways thanks for stopping by!
