I love it!!! Nice Concept and very fun!!!
Oh sh-t, here we go again...
Love the art-style and humor!
absolutely perfect, in theme, idea and execution. Hats off to you, I've got a blast playing. Style is lovely, too!
Great style and theme! Innovative game design as well. I found the gameplay more frustrating than I thought I would - hard to predict how the ball would move and then was surprised when it got caught in mountain divets etc. But very cool!
Very pretty visuals, and a great concept. Well done!
The art work is _incredible_, great job filling the art style of ancient Greek portraits! And the idea of a pinball machine that you make yourself is super original
That game art is amazing! Gameplay was a bit tricky, but well thought. Falling rock - inevitable, loved that connection.
This is a really good execution of the theme, and I love the art style! The hill looked amazing, peppered with objects!
The one place that I think the art style ran into issues was readability - I had a somewhat hard time figuring out exactly what the collision was for each object, and I had a really hard time reading a lot of the text.
I was also really disappointed that if the ball got stuck, it counted as a loss - I was building a maze to try and get the ball stuck as often as possible, so when that ended up costing me the game, it was really disappointing.
Nitpicks aside, the game was unlike anything I've seen before, looks great, and it fits the theme perfectly - Great job!
This is a really good entry ! I was not ready about the dialogues :rofl: (Did the leaderboard is online ? If yes, I hope I will stay on the top :sunglasses: )
Amazing graphics! Cool concept and interesting to play. Could maybe use a small description of the items you can build.
Great entry! I enjoyed it
It's something pretty unique, and I really liked it! Very nice aesthetics and setting. Getting things right was a bit of a trial-and-error, but fun in its own way.
Amazing, I love it. The music, the visuals, the theme, it all fits perfectly. This is the best I could do (despite my best efforts I couldn't get to 2 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu_TfNA2vNw
Thank you all for the comments and review :) Looking forward to get a bit of time in the next few days to check out what you all did as well :D. About the fact that the ball stopping causes a game over, the idea was that as soon as it stops rolling, Sisyphus as to get it on the top of the hill again so he doesn't want that. (and from a gameplay perspective, stopping the ball would mean an infinite score, and we can't have that :p )
I love this game! It has a great concept, humor, and the art is wonderful. Amazing job!
I love games that have unique art styles. Good job on the music as well.
Music is not ours actually, hence the opting out (but we are happy of what we found x) ). Thanks for the art style, I agree my teammate @poupiste did an amazing work :)
Very strange game. Interesting concept, but minimum fun. Sorry for honest review
Really polished graphics and innovative game idea. Funny dialogue. I managed to spam the heck out of the bouncing ones, which felt cheap but worked. It worked so well I actually launched the ball out of the level and now my clock is counting up indefinitely :-) Anyway great job with this! I don't think I've seen a game quite like this before.
This is amazing. I really like the dialogue, music and the concept in general on trying to keep the ball from reaching the bottom. Amazing job with this one. I'm definitely going to keep this one in a collection because the music is fire. Free Greek to Free Greek, I shall delay that boulder so you can go take a piss! XD
Fascinating concept for "delay the inevitable" with this marble-race-like gameplay. The gameplay is enjoyable to play, and the art style is really consistent - which is something most ld entries fail to do. Nice Job!
Amazing game!As a Greek I approve! Sisyphus fits perfectly to the theme. One problem I found that maybe is my browser or something, when I choose Greek as a language there is no text like the game can't render Greek letters. Am I doing something wrong @lilianc ?
Hey, super cool art style, and this is a very creative game. It was a bit hard to try and "predict" what would happen with the obstacles, so, as other people said, there was a lot of trial and error, which sometimes got a bit frustrating. But I think it is a neat puzzle idea, and despite some gameplay issues this entry is very polished!
Great job!
@lpax You're not doing anything wrong, I mentionned it on the itch.io page but forgot to add it here : for some reason Greek doesn't work in WebGL build, only on downloadble version. Also it probably won't be really good Greek, we included it as an "original version" kind of little gag, but we don't speak Greek so you will only get the best that Google trad has to offer haha
@lilianc Thanks for the follow up. No worries about the Greek, it will be fun to see what google translate gave you :wink: I wanted to try it since as you said it's the origin :smile: I will definitely try the download too!
Its a simple game but I enjoyed trying to reach that minute mark (to no avail, I was just short) I am sure there are better ways to do it and I tried all the options which was nice to see the amount of choices. suprised by the little meme inserted in there. CJ in Greek times. Overall solid well rounded game that I wish I was better at XD
I really like the vibes in this entry!
I love this game. The graphics are unlike anything I've seen before, and the use of the theme is really good! Five Stars!
Great job! I really enjoy these kinds of puzzle games. You nailed the atmosphere with the graphics and the sound effects. Well done!
This was a really fun game. Great job. The flipper inspired things felt a bit indeterministic sometimes but apart from that it was really well done.
j'adore le style et ça cite du Camus, bon jeu. la bise!
Really liked the art direction and overall concept, something I haven't really seen before.
