I liked the music, but my rock got huge within like a minute or so of playing and I couldn't see anything for the rest of the game lol
Fun idea, I filled my screen with rock, I am happy. I didn't get how far the red boulder is behind me, so I didn't know which upgrades to get.
A very fun game! I loved the gambling aspect XD
Personally, I felt the game dragged a bit too long, and would've appreciated it being a bit shorter, but all in all the game was pretty good (and I still managed to get a pretty decent time of 7 minutes!)
Great job :D
I found myself strangely enamored with this game. There was something just so satisfying watching my rock roll down this giant hill while listening to smooth jazz. Maxed out my PPS (pebbles per second) and watched that bad boy fly. Sisyphus's nightmare right here. Excellent work.
The slot machine mechanic is really fun. Nice game!
I love rocks and i love gambling. A great match.
A rock solid concept which just needs a few adjustments to be really smooth.
Like people mentioned, being able to see where the evil rock is on the main screen would be nice. The shop's layout could also be refined to show everything on one screen instead of having a scroll bar.
Enjoyed this game and the feeling of gambling under pressure.
Also in my run, I think I got super lucky as with the jackpots, my rock took the entire screen only 1 minute in xd. Camera should zoom out so the screen doesn't get too overcrowded.
I think Sisyphus would've had more fun if he got to roll his stone down a hill instead of up it.
I enjoyed the game, but I feel like the rock chasing you isnt present enough. Would be neat if it showed you how far away it is. Other than that, great game. The artstyle is pretty cool
This was fun! Though, it felt maybe a little too easy on normal mode - the big rock stopped being a threat a couple minutes in, and after that I spent the rest of the game in the menu maximizing speed/smoothness/mass. I only used the slot machine a few times near the start, and got some stats out of it, though it seemed to become less useful as my pebble output increased. The result of all that is that the game dragged a little toward the end, since I was no longer under any threat of losing and was just trying to optimize for time. Overall, though, I had a good time with this! And I have to admit, it was pretty funny how the rock just filled the entire screen after a certain point.
ROCK BIG! ROCK SOLID
