This is a really clever premise! I think the game would make more sense if you used your mouse instead of keyboard keys, though. Iron out the bugs and it would be a great game 🙂 Loved the art!

Ooh good idea for mouse controls. We shall have to give that a go! Thanks for playing our game!

Both me and Hades just kept storing 0 until the game crashed lmao
I love it though. It's silly in the best ways

Developer

Yep, we unfortunately didn't have time to fix all the bugs :( Thanks for playing!

a game for the gods :-). Pretty tricky but forntunately hades is even clumsier than I. Managed to score some points in my fourth attemp. But when the game is finished nothing happens. At least a replay button would be nice. But I love the gaphics! Nice game.

Yeah sorry we ran out of time haha. Thanks for playing!

R on the keyboard will restart the game for what it's worth :)

I encounter a code error when playing, then abort. But overall it's really a cool game.

Developer

Sorry for that - will be trying to fix it up after the jam. Thanks for playing!

Cool art and idea but too many glitches. My game ended with the game crashing. It felt unfair when I hit the sun but didn't get a point.

Developer

Ah, that's because as Zeus you're trying to avoid the sun :)

We'll be looking to fix the bugs and put in a tutorial after the jam, but otherwise thanks for playing our game!

Ok so to be honest when I booted up your game and discovered it was boule I was upset. I really don't like boules IRL because of a bad experience in france involving a boule and a goat. I thought your game was fun though ! It was strangely engaging for some reason, in a QWOPian way.

Developer

That is strange, because my wife had a bad childhood experience like that herself! Maybe that's why we made the game - to face her fears. That's what they say you should do right?

I'm glad you were able to face yours, and in the form of a video game. It could have done with a lot more polish and a lot less bugs, but we still like the concept :)

Thanks for playing!
