Neat thematic spin on the katamari formula. I've been on a bit of greek mythology kick so this was fun to see(Hades... I've been playing Hades).

GET IT TWISTED

Interesting grow-a-ball game. It obviously isnt ground breaking stuff, but you made an alright version of it. I struggled quite a bit with the movement for the first moments and I didnt realise I could lock my mouse until wayyy too late. It was also unclear when something would stick, and progress felt really slow as a result.

I also couldnt climb mount olympus, even when I thought I should be big enough too.  Overall, well done though!

Hey, I was planning to make something similar, but I wasn't at the level. 

This should have more ratings. 

Good game.

Sisyphus in Katamari is a stroke of genius.

I wish there was a mouse sensitivity control, and that the game didn't reset on pressing escape, but this running in-browser is a small miracle, and it was actually fun to play.

Loved everything about this actually! Super kooky and yet also satisfying to build up your boulder until it's capable of crushing Olympus!! The indomitable human spirit prevails.

I really like the sillyness of the game but it's really hard to figure out what i'm supposed to do!
