Godly game
This is SO good! The audio and visuals are AMAZING and it really improves upon the basic kind of clicker game by requiring you to do the button minigames. Had me hooked for ages :D
We are making it into a full game, and have a Discord server for it! I thought you might be interested in joining to play more later :)

Caught my eye on the Submission page and did amuse me! Nice idea and realization, plus I liked the philosophical touch.
Had bit hard time finding time to click the upgrade buttons with all the button smashing going on :D
I really love how much effort clearly went into giving a feeling of progress, with the areas changing, you unlocking new moves, and it was especially cool when the combos changed to words instead of the arrow keys. It helped a lot to keep things fresh, which I feel like is one of he most important things for a clicker game. I did struggle a bit at first because I thought the arrow key combos were meant to be pressed all at once, not in order, but other than that, great work!
I wasn't prepared for the lore. I imagined Sisyphus happy, and it was a delight.
I really enjoyed it
I wish I was as bald as that guy!!!
Beaultiful artwork and very creative concept! Had a nice surprise when it turned into a typing game, real fun!
Absolutely STELLAR. This game is an absolute delight.
My only minor nitpick is I struggled when it introduced the `roll`. It wasn't obvious (to me) that the keys had to be pressed in order. I powered through and eventually figured it out, but maybe some extra animations showing you exactly what you got wrong or entered would be good.
10/10 though. Well done.
Yep, added to the description, but we should have highliughted the active button to push :)
This rocks!
This rocks!
These quick time events... to hold... ME?
I'm always a sucker for games that reference Sisyphus, and this one not only does that, has a weirdly compelling gameloop, and gets delightfully meta. It's safe to say this is one of my favourite games of the jam and I've only just started rating them, lmao.
We are turning it into a big game, and have a Discord server - so if you like the Sisyphus theme, you are very welcome to join :)

Super satisfying when you get into a rhythm! Not getting distracted by the chat is a proper good challenge. Really funny take on the theme.
I really liked the stream chat and I think I got a max score of like 2.1k, was fun for a while to try and beat it
2.1 is insane! :) Thanks for playing! :)
I found the fuulscreen button and i gotta say the experience is AMAZING. cool game! it's ask a lot of timing

Fun game and very polish!
Loved the gods commenting in the strem chat :D
Take some time to understand how to play it, but it is still a great work! I'm Sysyphus the Youtube streamer XDDD
A tad to big for my screen :(
If you make it full screen - it will fit any resolution, just not pixel-perfect anymore
Love the inspo for this! Took me a second to figure out how the controls worked, but lovely concept and the chat was such a nice tonal addition~
I loved it ! A nice mix of incremental gameplay and key smashing adventure , with the chat it was really fun ! Props to the team ! =)
Thank you! Did you get to the meta part? :)
Not sure , I stopped a bit after unlocking the full screen chat, my fingers were in bad shape with all the backflips ^^ (and after 4 days of coding and doing pixel art non-stop) ahah , anyway loved it !
yep, that's it! :)
Congrats on the submission! wI'll check it out after some break :D
