How does your game fit the theme?
We based it on the greek myth of Sisyphus. The player must climb the same mountain every loop.

Really creative take on the concept with a lot of fun art and characters!
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoyed it :)
This is such a creative game ! I spent a lot of time mastering the bouncing mechanics and learning new things. The whole experience feels polished end engaging, Unllick traditional metroidvania games that focus on unlocking new content,this one constantly challenges the way you think about and understand the map --and that is truly impressive
Thanks a lot! We're glad you enjoyed our game so much :)

That was an absolutely amazing game! Gave off heavy Outer Wilds vibes, and it was so polished and super fun! Great work!!!

And yeah we definitely have Outer Wilds as a reference for this game!

Fun little game and the concept for Sisyphus is great!
Thanks a lot for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
This game is so beautiful! The idea of sisyphus as a bug is so clever and so cute (I love squeaking to the beat). It was quite a lot of places to look around and i had a lot of fun exploring, really amazing job <3 i love bugs

Well, today I discovered that the phrase "knowledgevania" is like a sleeper agent activation phrase that makes me want to play a game straight away. Fantastic concept, well executed, one of those game jams that really makes it worth putting the energy into finishing it off, I felt so good when I got to the end of the game, great job!
Wow thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed our game :))
Btw if u love "knowledgevania" games, we're making an even bigger one called Soulchain (it's on Steam), you should check it out because I think you'll love it too ;)
