I loved rolling over the people. So fun!!
I had quite some fun playing your game, good job! I think the basic premise is quite good, though I'd say the gameplay suffers a little bit when the priorities are conflicted. For example, should we be prioritising kill all people first and rolling down second? Should we roll down safely or should we go quick? This in my opinion what Sonic the Hedgehog games suffer the most, where you can't really have fun doing one thing but ignore the others entirely. I guess one way to fix it is to put the people in a good spot where if you roll correctly you should able to hit all / most of them, that way you got the enjoyment of a good rolling without making the player feel bad missing a bunch of them.
Anyway, enough said. I still think you did quite a good job making this game, so don't worry too much. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the play and feedback! I agree we needed to polish the flow, especially in the later levels. Unfortunately, “balancing” was a low priority. Glad you enjoyed it :)
This game is a lot of fun. I really like squishing all the people and the addition of the gun is great. I think it might be good to pull the camera back a bit cuz it's kinda hard to see what's coming once you get moving fast in the later levels. Great job on this tho I had a lot of fun murdering all the people as a rock.
Good game, I likes rock
Good game, I like your background, music and fun gameplay
Fun game!! The intro is telling me you're too young for the 40 years old Boulder Dash to have inspired the name, so well done on the name, too!! https://boulder-dash.com/
Feels really polished, nice work
Smashing them all is so satisfying! I really enjoyed the intro—it’s funny and sets the tone well. The only issue I had was with the camera; I’m not sure why, but it made me feel a bit dizzy after awhile.
Thank you! Ya the camera movement was a last minute decision to get a better view behind you. Unfortunately, I didn’t get time to smooth it out / linger, so it’s a bit snappy. Thanks for playing :)
Yo this game is heckin SICK
