Kick Rocks
A downloadable game
A game to play when you're on a walk~
This is a one-player game where you'll tell the story of an adventurer as you kick a rock. The traits of your rock will help define your adventurer and their journey. Where your rock lands will prompt you to describe the journey.
Start and pause Kick Rocks! at your leisure, your journey is always ready when you are.
Feel free to play this with friends, whether the two (or more) of you play it together or play during moments of companionable silence.
This game made for the Pleasure-not-Business Card RPG Jam
!!Update!! - I have added in a version that turns the game into a foldable book/zine. Now you can jot down notes about your play or just doodle in it! This version also allows printing on one page. I have included instructions on folding on the second page of this.
Some of the phrasing on the front side has been updated for clarity
A link to Huetopia's Game at a Glance where Morgan talks about Kick Rocks! The time stamp is at 1:38:42. The whole episode is awesome and features another game, Simon Moody's Bonfire & Blade, and some awesome indie projects!

Its Great!
What cute little game! Sadly it's winter atm but maybe I remember this when everything is not snow again...
Thank you so much!!
Winter and snow! Time for all those rocks to go into hibernation, haha! I absolutely hope you are able to play on a nice walk in the spring!
Thank you again for your kind words~
This was a great game to play on my walk into town! I really enjoyed the story-oriented prompts; my favourite, though, was the one for if you're able to kick the rock across a crosswalk. Having read through the game before I went out, I gave my rock an extra hard kick and it made it! My adventurer earned the achievement You Rock! and is now known as Lord of the Crossing. Thanks so much for adding some entertainment to my walk!
I'm so grateful that you picked up my game and that you shared a little bit of your adventure!! I can't express how wonderful it is to hear that you had a good time playing! Thank you so much Sebastian!! I *really* love the crosswalk mechanic and that is an excellent title for your adventurer!
I hope you can have many more adventures on your walks!
