Pretty fun take on the myth of Sisyphus!
I really liked how you pushed the 'boulder' across the ages, on the game engine and even on twitch hahaha
The trick system feels great! However I didn't realise at first it was supposed to be sequence of keys, not keys I had to press simultaneously. Also, I thought it was it funny when you changed the keys for the tricks to actual words, nice way to keep the game fresh and interesting!
I managed to get to 1460m! Great game!
Thank you! Yep, sequence vs simultaneous - that was our big miss...
Great little game I managed to get relatively far and got a scor of 1421M
Really praticed my word typing at one point! I am terrible at typing 🥲
Fun, charming and visually appealing 🙌
P.S Amazing job with your average ranking annoucments! It must have taken absoultly ages 🤯
Tbh writing a script to collect data was very fast and simple, but posting it everywhere took ages :D Especially because itch wanted me to pause after every 5-10 posts :)
I did wonder if itch was slowly you down for posting 😅
Amazing work 🙌 I was wondering where the "overall" ranking was so I am so glad you did this 😁
Our average rank is #223 in GMTK 2025. Here is the link with all the rankings:

I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with "Mark" that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.
Very fun! Great clicker pusher game
Real rock pusher!
I really enjoyed my little rock pushing session; the game was really simple and effective :)
P.S.: If you would like to check out the game I worked on, I would be grateful 🙏 (In your free time of course)🙏

One of the most different ideas I saw at GameJam, we all need to be happy at the end of the day. Congratulations!
Perhaps the best incremental in the jam! I love the fact that you have to do something other than just clicking buttons. The chat and the Godot/Twitch “frames” are great additions that make this so much better. Great entry! 🔥
5/5 for me. This was the best incremental game I have played so far. It was so fun to put the inputs in and see the ball roll faster, while also feeling that your getting no where. The also game feels very polished. The section with the words meant that you had to constantly inputting which felt fantastic. Felt like what nitro type should have been lol. The art is also very appealing to look at and the chat feature really makes raising your stats feel like an actual upgrade. Also just figured out the meta-commentary with the screens, that was very clever. Congrats on submitting !
The chatters on the side are such a nice touch for sisyphus. Sisyphus happy.
Sisyphus is indeed happy.
I think this is the incremental game I had the most fun with, it’s dynamic and funny for all the chatters on the side. I like how it went from the boulder to a copy machine hahaha, also the tricks are fun to do, I didn’t expect to type them but making the mix up it’s fun, good thing you didn’t mix the arrows with the typing or my brain would collapse xD
The animations are good and the song doesn't feel repetitive, it makes me stay longer, everything mixes together in a great way, also each loop is good, from actually watching Sisyphus to watching the Godot screen hahaha. Another thing I really like is that I didn’t have to click much which I really appreciate! That made me stay and try to play longer
I see that at the end, the last loop repeats itself but it’s a nice touch you can zoom in to play the mode you like more and change the machine with the boulder, nice details. I leave the screenshot of my stats before I stop playing
And yeah, one must imagine Sisyphus happy… and more with that amount of money xD
Good game ^_^
Thank you so much for the detailed review! I'm glad you've found the switch buttons - we didn't highlight them at all, so I was worried nobody would notice them :)
P.S.: Sick results :D
We are making it into a full game, and have a Discord server for it! You are very welcome to join if you are interested :)

Yeah, I saw the trailer on Youtube last week haha, I won't join to the server but I'm happy you are going for the full release of the game :)
Good luck with it :D
That was a really workout!
Loved the concept! Everything is so clean and polished!! A loved how you "solved" the monotony of a clicker with the QTE. But my favorite was the mildly sarcastic narrative tho XD
I wish there was a different interaction for the chat, making it a bit more special when you reach it, gameplay-wise. All in all, great job and good luck Sisyphus!
Thank you! Maybe we could add a button to thank the chat for donation or to ban the toxic commenters :D And make an extra timer when you need to click it in time ;)
Sound like an excellent idea!! I love the caos of the multitasking :O
IM FREE!!! FINALLY AT LAST!!! Great game btw
One must imagine Sisyphus doing sick backflips in the Godot editor. 🔥
I was sure to find a game about Sisyphus somewhere given the theme of the jam, and here it is! Your concept is very creative, and the streaming interface with all the references to antiquity and to common chat tropes, that is gold !
Great game! I love the names used for the chat members. Once it started requiring me to type I was moving my hand back and forth between my mouse and keyboard so fast. I've never played a game that intensive on keyboard and mouse lol
I love this!!!!!!!!!!
I definitly felt spurned on by the comments in the livestream chat. Very original and charming too.
As a lot of comments already mentioned, the Art is amazing, as well as the QTE that solves the traditional cookie clicker type game being a waiting game. very satisfying sfx as well!
