Love the look and gameplay! Great job!
All the artwork is perfect, it makes the game look and play beautifully, I really enjoyed it!!
Great work :)
Incredible artwork with those cutscenes! They really boosted the game. Loved the theme use and the ending made me laugh! Well done!
This was one of the best uses of the limitation I've seen so far! I loved how you switched the boulder with the pumpkin to fit the theme (Maybe I should've done something like that for my game), and the speed mechanic was nicely done! Overall this game was fantastic, although some music would be a nice addition.
Great use of limitation and visuals. It would be more enjoyable with sounds.
Excellent presentation! I agree that some sound effects would have gone a long way.
Very good use of the limitation
Great art and funny ending. Use the theme very good and make the mix with Sisyphus myth make it a clever idea and game. With sounds will be more nice. Great game for this 3 days jam.
Great pixel art and I love the story of Sisyphus. Gameplay is simple but well done. I think a couple of simple sound effects made with a vst would definitely make the game better. Great job.
Great art, congratulations!
Art is amazing and the ending got me laughing. Well done!
The art looks amazing and the concept is adorable!
Very well done!
Oh wow, the style of the cinematics reminded me Rock of Ages which is one my favourite games.
The gameplay was a bit too basic in my opinion. But enjoyed the experience and the ending scene nonetheless :)
Keep up the good work!
The art is 10/10, the sleeping animation was really nice and overall great looking game!
The idea is fun and the ending is also funny which I think fits the myth really well. Plus, Hades from Super Giant has me back in my middle-highschool days of Greek Mythology consumption; so the use of the limitation was very much enjoyed.
The only issue I really had was that the game does suffer from the lack of audio. If there was some SFX and maybe a nice little bop playing in the background; it'd be a really nice casual game!
The pixel art on this is amazing! My only small note is that the randomization on the obstacles could be a bit more balanced. There were times I'd be in the same lane for a long time because no obstacle would appear.
