You are Sisyphus' boulder.
You are tired of rolling down the slope as commanded .
So you invented a little game for yourself.
Rapidly press z so you can do work against Sisyphus and cast the enchantment earlier.

It's very short and simple, but in a good way, I almost reached 10000 score โป
Thanks for playing! I really should put easter eggs on certain high scores..
that's the idea
I really enjoyed the execution of this game, and never thought i would play as a boulder. I love rapid tapping games. Also, the graphic style was very clean and minimalistic.
Thanks!
simple and elegant! I smiled when I understood the goal. Pushing the key rapidly to charge the input conveys the feeling of working against Sisyphus. Nice that the meter is part of the boulder. I would have liked to see different slopes or hills that could add variation.
Thanks for playing. You enlightened me about the explanation of the main mechanic. Different terrains would be fun, maybe will work on it later :)
well done boulder brother
yo let's goooo
