A Tribute to the Rolling Boulder
This is my 12th done-in-under-a-week game. It’s also my Assembly gamedev competition entry. Which means it was published on the Assembly website a bit earlier than it is published here. And thus it “leaked” to the internet and was blogged already by the2bears, indygamer and soldat movies.
The game is open to harsh critique and wish me good luck at the Assembly gamedev combo.
