This was super cool and really well done. The one thing I think it's missing is adding acceleration instead of giving the bolder a set speed. if you moved more slowly at first I think it would make the platforming more manageable while also giving that runaway boulder feel once you build up speed.
Loved boulder impact effect, damn, its cool :D
I let the green slime guy live on the 3rd level but couldn't beat the game to see if there's a secret ending or something
XD there is
Cute art, the screen shake is really intense and sells the weight of the boulder. :>
I really liked the screen shake. That and the slow acceleration really helped give a sense of weight to the boulder
The intro is funny haha and the levels are good as well although it could use less camera shake
Cool idea and a very fun game! The part with the sharks(? or whatever those blue things are, it's kinda hard to tell when they're falling) is brutal, I wasn't able to get past it.
Haha, thank you for playing game! Yes those are sharks
The boulder sure has an impact... the camera shake was a bit much for me tho. Other than that, a really neat game, art looks great!
Thanks for rating game:D Yee, most of people tell that about camera shake, may be I just used to it, while testing it over and over, that's why I didn't noticeXD
BOULDER BROTHERS
YEEES! FOREVER!
I like the idea and the movement is fun. The screen shake was a little too much for me and made it hard to control the jumps.
I really enjoyed the idea and the design! Unfortunately I struggled with the controls due to the amount of camera shakes after each jump on a platform
A hilarious start to the game! I loved playing as a boulder who sees the adventurer as an "intruder"! I found the rumble effect after landing made it a bit difficult to see where I was landing with the floaty controls, but overall great stuff! :)
Absolutely excellent, I really enjoyed this! Such a fun concept and the presentation is top notch!
Thanks for rating our game. Great stuff! My favorite part was the bait and switch at the beginning. I really should've seen that coming considering the name. The landing of the boulder has some really nice juice. If you wanted to take this further, I think you could play up the inertia of the boulder as a mechanic (like a heavier sonic)
Thank you for rating our game too! And thank you for an idea! Tbh we also had a lot fun doing that cutsceneXD
Really Cool Idea Tho I Did Have Some Trouble With The Control As I Don't Use The English Keyboard! Everything Else Was Amazing!
Thank you!
Cool Game! I finished it!
I liked a lot, i like games when you have to fight the controls.
A thing that i consider a problem is that the gameplay is way too repetitive, like, it is always the same thing, the same map... Some new mechanics or new maps would be nice
Overall, you made a great job! congrats!
I couldn't finish the game sadly, the boulder was too hard to control for me and i got stuck in a level :(
:_(
The intro animation was hilarious. Also platformer controls are hard
Thank you for playing!
The opening is just genius. very cool concept! was fun to play
Haha, thank you!
This game has a really funny concept! I also liked the art and more endings.
