Sisyphus caught at the casino. Creative take on the narrative :D. You have a nice gatcha game, I would maybe add the choices in the upgrade we get. But I understand you did not have time to do everything
‘explain the rules to the board game sisyphus’ journey’
A very simple game but is surprisingly enjoyable
Satisfying gameplay and colour scheme.
Wouldn't mind being Sisyphus if this is all he did
I spent way too much time picking a colour palette for the game lol. Thanks for playing!
No matter what the game jam is. I would always seein 'im
Very creative! Takes some time to grab your attention, but once you get past 5 or 4, starts to be real fun
this is insanely creative, a really cool take on the theme
And that leaderboard is really conducive to a jam game, and I really hope this gets more popular because the more people play this, the more awesome that leaderboard will be just some 99k's super lucky people
also apparently one of the people on my team played this and got #1 LOL
cursed screenshot. I think the true countdown is how unlucky you can get as to crash the webpage right on Zone 6 lol
I gotta imagine Sisyphus happy if he's been doing this the whole time this fun asl
Really fun game and make you keep playing for hours ! Well done for the brilliant idea . I'd love to share our game as well so you can play too and good luck with the game jam :)

This is just really smart, rolling dice as a stand-in for pushing a rock perpetually is a great idea.
This is SUCH a brilliant idea ! I really love the concept and execution.
I would have loved to have a little bit more agency, even if it's stays full random, to develop a sense of superstition.
I think this game has such a great potential, please continue its developement.
Music for me is a little too repetitive, i would have prefer some more naturalistic sounds.
Great work !
Okay, this one really surprised me. I didn't think you could make throwing dice fun, but you did! The upgrades got me hooked and I liked watching the dice wobble and glow when I got them right.
Sometimes the dice snapped to the ground or looked like they're being pushed artificially, which made it feel like it's rigged. I don't know if it's a bug or an unintended side-effect?
Also I didn't understand which actions prompt the upgrades and I wish there was more variation to them. I would have continued playing for those :)
Good work on this, it's creative :)
Interesting concept. Good job!
I did it, I won, I'm first on the leaderboard, is this a sign to gamble??
Haha jokes aside I love the concept, so simple but addictive! Am more shocked there isn't any lag when 84 die just got randomly thrown on screen. Great job!!
You're lucky you won so quickly or you would've seen a thousand dice get thrown at a time (sadly there is lag for that one lol). Thanks for playing!
I won at 60k, but there was a bug that prevented me from submitting my score. The game is so cozy and enjoyable. Sometimes I don't know why I had to roll so many times (more than 6 times), even though I got the correct number every round. But finally, I love it, Great job!
I'm glad you liked it! And sorry for the leaderboard issue, it was the last thing I did and I didn't have enough time to test it fully :( Thanks for playing!
Were there anyway to get the upgrades by oursekf ? Did i miss something?
Because othetwise it felt quite longue between each upgrade to come
Great idea to have a leader board ^^
Thanks for the feedback! I originally wanted a shop system for upgrades to give players more control, but I had to cut it for time :(
Really fun game to play !
The idea is neat, the execution with the bonus to not bore the player is really cool, honestly, was really fun to play.
The only downsize is the time it takes to count the number of dices.
Had a lot of chance for my rolls, but that's game !
Continue the good works !
OMG I just checked the leaderboard, and you did get lucky! (I think that’s higher than any of my scores while testing lol)
Thanks for playing, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
