Krong inventing the wheel and immediately using it for aerial tricks is a brilliant bit of caveman logic. The little pixel-art rider balancing on his rock is very charming, and 'TO BE EVEN COOLER' is an excellent name for a button!
A caveman riding a boulder and crushing aliens! What's not to love?
This game is perfect, great job!
I played your game and put it on YouTube!

I don't know if you were directly influenced by the Sonic games or not, but I got (specifically) Sonic Advance vibes from this, with the way the level has multiple routes, a lot of verticality, and obviously the spin dash and the rails too. Also I wasn't sure how I did it but I think I did a mid air trick once.
Art was great, felt great to play, really good entry all around!
Wow, amazing entry! Probably my favorite so far. The movement was a total blast, reminds me a little bit of Pizza Tower, nice work!
Amazing pixelart and animations! I absolutely loved the faceplant animation! 😆 Fast-paced and fun game - It plays like sonic but heavier, which makes sense with the giant stone wheel and all! Great work!
What a cool game, ladies and gentlemen!
It reminded me of a game I played a long time ago called "Big Nose Freaks Out." The concept is the same. A great take on the theme.
I really wanted to collect every single item in the game—is that even possible?
I got quite a shock when the carnivorous plant grabbed me! I expected to take a little bit of damage, not lose half my body! :)
Beautiful graphics and great sound. It’s very polished, with animations running at different speeds and the way the wheel accelerates—nicely done. I also liked the simple controls.
Adding a background would make it look even cooler. It could be something quite simple, but it would really make it pop.
This definitely deserves to be a full game. Are you planning on making more levels? I certainly hope so!
Congratulations.
@dans17 você é brasileiro?
Having the crack in the rock is a great touch to the animation wheel. Given more time, another detail of drawing a hole in a slant when a cavemad dives through it would be fun, kind of like how hitting your head on a ceiling is animated.
For the game balance, I liked that the controls of Ctrl and Shift were not needed during the first part of the game, right before the giant plants section, which was where I stopped. At first the checkpoints looked dangerous until I used them, but I feel like they were placed a good number of times so that I did not need to re-jump over many spikes in a row after a long rolling sprint.
Speaking of movement, the music and SFX fit well with the intensity of moving really fast. Great job on the game overall.

Big Nose was a big part of the inspiration for this game ;) We talked a bit about making some more levels but no promises at this time. Dans 14 can speak Portuguese so not to far of either with your guess ;)
@avi you're excellent my friend, thank you for kind words!
@half-and-half I wish we had gnomes, it would be perfect, like your game ;)
@kedikat thank you so much, this words coming from you guys means a lot because your game is even more perfect! I mean you guys have moths!
@willops thank you so much, Pizza Tower was one of the inspirations. Happy you had fun with it ;)
@mascoll and here is the last bit of inspiration, Sonic games, which we never really played :P ( I did one on PSP many years ago but only remember like a phoenix boss at the end). So more than happy to hear the game redmined you of that experience! Thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment o7
I had an embarrassingly stupid moment figuring out the plants and I totally forgot about the tricks lolol thanks for the assist. I very much enjoyed this.

Dude! This game is amazing! It is a good example of a platformer, but I think you could improve the graphics and physics.
There is a big problem: the stone stops moving at the cliff. Thanks a lot <3
Wow, interesting game! It reminded me of my childhood playing Sega games, like Sonic. In a really good way! I liked it.
Wow! Super fun. I love how you've interpreted the theme - it's really something unique! I really love the gameplay; it's very polished. And the sound design creates the perfect atmosphere. Very cool!
Nice game, fun, not too long te beat ! A perfect Game Jam game perfectly theme related ! Congratz 👏
Good vibe!
That was really fun, would love to play more levels. FYI ctrl+D is firefox's command to bookmark, ended up hitting that twice when trying to slow down.
"COOL!"
That was fun. The game has a lot of character. I almost gave up at the last hurdle but glad I pushed through.
Great job!

Game was not only *C*ool and *B*adass but even *A*wesome (I haven't reach S on it yet 😅). Don't have much else to say, other than I really enjoyed it :D
(I still haven't figured out how to follow that trail of bananas, kept trying and falling into that abyss)
[Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2909045755?t=03h06m55s)
Krong good. Krong do cool trick. Krong also die. Krong fun time.
Very fun, take me back to early 2000 games, fluid, fasts and enjoyable.
