the incredibly compressed low quality text actually made it better. I actually never raged while playing it and smiled all the way through. That might be because I gave up at the second hill but uh yeah good job :)
I liked the idea! Little fish getting up the rock, but I was confused on what controls i should be doing. I was just doing everything with my mouse and stacking the fishes together so the rock wouldn't roll down. I don't know if thats actually what im suppose to do or not, but yeah nice work!
Sisyphus never knew how to get to the top. :)
Couldn't finish but the game since fair and doable. The fish have a bad tendency to go thought the boulder thought.
yeah sorry about that sometimes the starting velocity make it go through before the physics work
It's ok! The fish is just that fast!
Fun idea xD I believe that improving the controls a bit would make it a good game to kill some time. Maybe moving with WASD, and using the LMB as a headbutt/kick? Perhaps that would give the player a bit more of control. I felt that just using the LMB was a bit unpredictable, it depended a bit much on luck for the fish to kick the rock and make it fly a few meters up.
But anyway, fun game, especially the motivational part of the voice-over xD
thanks for the advice I’m probably not going to update this game but I might make a new race game
very funny. this game is evil to play
Motivational, but can’t read the background T.T.
Just here for the meme of the rock and some fish.
sorry about that. I made in scratch and files are weird
This is so motivating to me
get back up, keep going
i'm really curious to know if it is possible to win this game. if it isn't one really must imagine sisyphus happy.
if you balance it at the top you win
I thought the corpses where helping keep the rock in place but it seems they are not lol
I do not know how far can one go but I got several minutes stuck in the same stairs ... found out by accident that space also triggers the fish
they can be useful but usually just annoying :p
One must imagine fishyphus happy.
Really cool game! The background text is also a fun touch
sorry its blurry tho
The corpses of the fish make it go even harder... beautiful
in a emotional meaning and a technical one
Man that mountain is going to smell pretty bad after I get to the top of it
the amount of fish ive killed to get to the top just for it to roll down
I like the concept of the game. Didn't make it far because I'm not good at this genre but I had fun trying!
A very well made rage game, I may or may not have ragequit after watching the boulder roll down the big hill on the right only to realize I had to balance it at the top :D
Looks pretty nice.
If you got some spare time check out my game as well

The myth of Sisyphus is one of my all time fav texts and I felt this game captured that really well and I love it and spent a good bit of time working my way up! It also reminds me of "Getting over it". I think my only criticism would be that the fish could have been any other thing so it does feel slightly random without the context of the jam
I've just been wanting to make a rage game for a while and this felt like a good way to make it funny. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Man, this made me realize that they really did Sisyphus dirty...
Imagine having to do this for ALL ETERNITY!
It made me ragequit, but I guess that's the goal, so... good!
I made sure to add a hill at the other side :)
Loved that getting over it vibe!
Did you balance it at the top?
Couldn´t make it, but one day i will...
Sisyphus never made it
