How does your game fit the theme?
It is a common trope in media for the protagonist to trigger a trap that sends a giant boulder rolling towards them. Typically in games, you run away from the boulder. But in this game, you ARE the boulder, and you chase the "protagonist."

The juiciness of the ball is so much fun! Love how silly it is that it can duck hahaha.
The only thing I can criticize is the lack of music. It would have made the experience so much more fun.
I do, however, really like the levels! It wasn't just a mindless up-or-down auto scroller. The different paths made me think and kept me on my toes! I also really like how the designer understood the flow of key presses and changed the rhythm to throw me off. Great stuff!
I loved this! fun and simple premise. I really enjoyed playing it for sure!

The ball was very funny, and I enjoyed playing with it.
Really liked this actually! I enjoyed how eventually you couldn't just follow the thief's exact path anymore and had to quickly make decisions on what path you could take and fit through. Really great stuff, played to the end! Sounds and animation and really good, just wish there was some music!
The theming is nice, and I love the boulder animations. The squash-n-stretch adds a lot of character. I wish the gameplay itself was a little more innovative, but it’s still fun, especially for something thrown together in under 48 hours.
Very polished and fun to play
Your game is very fun to play
Good job & fun idea! It's a shame it doesn't have music, it would have been 10 times more epic!
Really fun and very cool simple design and animations :D
Redigit would definitely like this game
Probably the best one so far. This one is really good! <3
