This is genius
This game is pointless it’s utterly meaningless and a waste of time…. And that’s the point. And the game does a very good job at doing it. The creators of this game did very well I like the way it looks tooEl MONSTRO_15

Strangely fascinating
Like a really slow endless runner. No point to it that I can see. Some people might like it. I need a little more explanation. Like what’s the reason for randomly stopping? The rock (?) just decides it wants to go back down the hill? I have no say in the matter? Just push and push until, what exactly? No thanks.Show lessThe OnionEaters

Game isn’t fun
This game isn’t fun, and that’s okay. Not every game needs to make you feel powerful. This game is meant to make you feel the frustration and despair that the character “Sisyphus” would feel. It does that pretty well, at the beginning at least. You don’t know what to do, do you follow the tutorial. You quickly learn how to beat the game system after ten minutes filled with despair. You learn that any failure is your fault alone, which I feel takes away from the intended feeling of the game. My opinion is that personal failures are less frustrating than those by pure chance, and much less than those by the choices of others. I think that it would be much more frustrating if there was RNG in the game, a VERY small chance of randomly failing through no fault of your own.Show lessgayshrek69
Wow!
This really is a great game, from the subtle gruntings of sisyphus- I mean sisyphos! To the calming sound of the boulder rolling back down. Though stoicism doesn’t seem to do anything, it would be nice if it made sisyphos push the boulder a few more meters each time he pushed, otherwise it seems like a pointless feature.Show lessThefanoforiginalgamez
Developer Response
Stoicism is a score multiplier that increases, if you play several times in a row. But we will consider your suggestion for a future update, thanks a lot for the feedback!Creative
This game is not a traditional game, you can't find joy from it. It is more like an education app, teaching you the hard and pain of insistence. You may get frustrated after playing this app - in fact people get frustrated after playing any kinds of endless running game,but usual games give you a hope while this game gives you a despair.
But I still appreciate the creativity of this game, I'm looking forward to your next product.Show less我就是一个水军
Bad price
If your going to make a game like this at least make it free.Bgghcfycfycx
Interesting. Great comment on the human condition.
This game is not fun; however, if you are familiar with the myth for which the game is named, you should not expect it to be fun. The developer has asked you to spend $.99 to repeatedly roll a boulder up a hill. In a Flappy Bird-style score mechanic, your score is based upon your willingness to continue a monotonous repetition of taps that move your boulder up and over the hill. The skill required for this is very limited. Patience is much more important.
The trick: you can't stop if you're pursuing a high score. There are no levels. Just a strength meter that increases (+1) every time you successfully push the boulder over the hill, and a stoicism meter that increases at a trivial rate (+.2) every time you fail. Your score is multiplied by both numbers after you fail. Your stoicism carries with you when you fail, but your strength resets.
This game gets brutal fast. There is no relief as you attempt to achieve a high score. Just the unforgiving fact that your failure is only inevitable if you choose to give up. However, you will give up, so failure is inevitable.
Great game.Show lesswritingtired
Sisyphus
Based off the famed Greek king, this game is an interesting concept.
If your into philosophy this might be the game for you.
I find it a wee bit stress relieving. I'd like to see them add a couple of new moves, or speeds, or a new tunic for our friend.MilliHighGrl
