  • One must imagine Sisyphus happy

    It does as I expected, as all should expect, it puts you through misery, knowing that you are the failure, you are the one who couldn’t keep pushing. But it gives you the feeling of being Sisyphus, you have one goal, one purpose, you know your purpose, and even if it is to try and try again, to never truely succeed, would you rather have no purpose at all? Or would you have one given by the gods themselves. One must imagine Sisyphus happy, this game helped me understand that.

  • Amazingtastic!

    Note: The title is a combination of the word Amazing and Fantastic.
    Yeah, this game gives you exactly what it says in the description. I know right? Most games don’t do that. Anyways, I would recommend this game if you’re in a car ride or if you have no internet but I just downloaded this game because I have seen countless amounts of Sisyphus memes this year and because I thought it would probably be fun to see a man forced for all eternity to roll a boulder up a hill only for it to fall down and see all his efforts broken for the 100th time. But in the myths Sisyphus has no obligation to roll the boulder up the hill, he just does so because he actually thinks he can do it. Anyways, download this game.

  • Worst game in the world

    This is the worst hame that I have ever played it’s so frustrating when you have to start over it’s makes you feel as if you’re inside the game it’s a game of misery despair and doom for eternity the game is so boring the moment I tried it i deleted it it made me feel like I would never reach the top try to do better whoever made this game or else you won’t be getting good reviews trust me I had second thoughts before downloading it

  • Great Game for 5 Minutes

    Played for 5 minutes then put it down. I’ll probably be back tomorrow, found it somewhat therapeutic in tapping over and over. I forgot about all of my worries and got lost in the game. Glad it was made. Not for those with low attention spans.
  • Good idea but the concept is only half there

    If you are one of those that expects this stoic excercise to also acknowledge Sisyphus’s decent back to the bottom, (as in the moments of reflection and ease as he returns to resume the torment)…it’s not there.

    You’ll push the rock and then be teleported in defeat back to the bottom. Yet somehow also have a scoreboard to drive you? Which ironically is a sort of reward and accomplishment.

    I would have given five stars had there been a walk down and no scoreboard whatsoever. If there is ever a change there I will correct my rating.

  • Stellar

    I never give reviews but I think this game is a perfect representation of life even if it’s not very fun after 5 minutes I know I’ll be coming back to it again and again.
  • Fun to a point

    Counter to a lot of reviews, I found this game fun initially. The fun game from having a goal. First, learn the rhythm. Then crest the mountain. Then make it back. Then build a streak. However at that point you basically have no reason to continue. Sure you could build your multiplier to infinity and top the leaderboards, but I’ve found that I’ve no desire to return to this game that I consider good. Maybe that’s the point and that’s fine. My gamer brain just craves more goals to climb towards. The irony is that it would be more fun if it wasn’t possible to get to the top

  • The secret to winning

    For anyone that want to know how to win, don’t let the rock hit your face. It gets harder the further up the mountain you get but once you realize what causes you to lose then you also realize what you must do to win. It is endlessly so technically you can’t win but you can at least reach the top. I’m interested to see what high score people will get now knowing this.

  • Meditative. Like Daddy Long Legs, but somber

    I don’t find this game frustrating. It’s in the same category as Daddy Long Legs, Verticow, Drop Not, Skyward, etc. The point is to get further each time. There are only a handful of achievements, and no cute, silly collectables most games in this category accrue.

    The biggest difference is that the pace of Sisyphos is more meditative. I can narrow my focus down to the placement of his feet, little changes in the path beneath him, and the pace of my breath.

    Is this therefore not fun fun? I suppose not. I find it restful, though. It’s worth the “offering” for that.

  • Frustrating.

    This game is so infuriating as a person with a short attention span, which makes it perfect.
    Just what I was looking for.
    This game isn’t hard or easy, it’s just extremely infuriating
