That's some really nice relaxing music. Sisyphus may not be happy, but at least he should be calm and placated. I was hoping something would happen if I got over 1000...
This is a game with no gameplay, but the audio was quite relaxing, yet this seems like something I would turn on when studying, not wanting to play a game.
hey, funny idea. it was relaxing to just push the stone and listen to the background music. i’d love to hear your own relaxing music in there. the animations were also nice. feel free to try our game :D
This was charming. The pixel animation is really nice for a first attempt, and the whole high-contrast look works.
Simple concept, but the vibe and the Sisyphus joke landed for me. Also, good song choice, I definitely held click longer than I expected.
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed the vibe<3
Very interesting concept for sure. Is Sisyphus happier without the hill I wonder…
Maybe more relaxed XD
i like the guy it reminds me of that meme of the tom morello guitar battle
LMAO I honestly drew it at random and went “why does this feel familiar” — you saying it made it click🤣🤣🤣
374 units is as far as I was able to push the stone, I pushed it for the full song making some breaks to give my finger a rest. I like the idea that in this version the stone doesn't roll back anywhere. It just stays in place. Also you've made a nice choice for the song. Also I couldn't see the moai picture from the 2nd screenshot. Do you get to see it if you get to the 1000 mark?
It’s a Sisyphus meme–inspired game, and the moai is part of that. There isn’t much more content than this. Thanks for playing! <3
Had to do some digging on Sisyphus to understand the reference. nice game guys!
Thanks for giving it a try!<3
My impression of Sisyphus:
man wheres my hill :( I want my hill back
I want it back too 🗿
Interesting. i really don't know what to say.
Thanks for playing!:D
Maybe the real hill was the boulder we pushed along the way...
I love that interpretation!!!!
One must imagine sisyphus with no hill. A parallax background would be cool though, I still spent far too long holding left click
Haha, sorry for wasting your time a bit — the content is pretty minimal. The parallax background suggestion is great!
My friend, time you enjoy wasting is not time wasted!
I like the high contrast style, one must imagine they are happy playing this game, nice job!
Thank you for enjoying the vibe!
