Nice idea, like the reversal adn the art. Camera shake and SFX were maybe a bit extreme but nice work for a weekend jam!

Love the intro. It was quite hard jumping with the camera shake but still a great game
I was absolutely GUTTED when my wizard guy died... then absolutely ASTOUNDED that it was I who was the boulder and got to roll around and DESTROY HEROES!! Amazing game!! I'm not sure how to feel about the camera shake -- it makes the game harder to judge where you are on the platform but also really immerses you in the fact you are like a 100 ton jumping boulder -- take that as you will I suppose -- awesome submission!!
Could have used more camera shake :D Damn I almost got head trauma from playing this. Nice job over all but could have used less camera shake. Sure it was funny but made the game harder and more annoying.
loved the intro, great sound effects & polish. You might only want to play the impact effects when the boulder is hitting something with a certain speed to improve visibility. And it's actually possible to clip into the ceiling when holding right while falling into a level :). Otherwise great (and quite tough) game!
The sound effects are very juicy and the game seems very polished overall. Camera shake is maybe a little bit too strong for the platforming parts but other than that this is a great submission. Well done!
The beginning is very funny, the game was very fun to. The only thing I would change is the screen shaking.
Funny beginning! I also liked the movement of the boulder, felt satisfying. I would also reduce the screen shake a bit. Nice
Great game, even if it's a bit too hard for me! (Though it is kinda fitting since you are platforming as a boulder... :D) I think there should be atleast one floor without the lava first so the player could practice platforming without getting punished by not having the grasp of the controls.
I remember seeing this one on the progress pics Discord channel, love to see the final result, it even has a dialogue system, congrats!
great game! it looks awesome and feels good to play. Tons of content for 48 hours
