Sisyfaux
This game may be more unfair than we intended. Sorry!
CONTROLS:
Arrow Keys to move
Space to reset the entire game (There are no checkpoints)
There's no jump button either.
Sisyphus cheated death and as punishment, he must forever push a boulder up a hill, never able to make it to the top. But Hades got the wrong man! Sisyfaux didn't deserve such punishment, and he can prove it by escaping from the Underworld.
Go, Sisyfaux!, Use your wits (and that big boulder you are chained to) to get past all of Hades' traps and trickery and escape. Push, pull and ride the boulder (and sometimes let the boulder control you) as you escape the underworld.

Getting stuck due to a bug :(
While people have gotten stuck in lots of places in our buggy game, you are the first to get stuck there. Good job!
This seems to be polished. I love the physics of the giant rock. Like others have said, it feels weighty and that's a good thing. I can feel the struggle of the character pulling and pushing the rock. It can be annoying and frustrating too! lol. The puzzle is quite challenging, and bruh, please give me a freaking checkpoint! LMAO. The graphics on the other hand gave me nostalgic vibe and I like it. Good job.
I like the concept and mechanics, fun to solve the puzzles. The no checkpoints decisions makes it a hard game to finish haha
Really good game, the decision to remove the jump mechanic was risky but it paid off. The puzzles were very fun to figure out and maneuver around and I really think you made a clever game.
The only things I think would be needing of improvement are the mechanics for pushing the boulder up hills, as sometimes it takes forever, and the description as it says WASD to move instead of the arrow keys.
Other than that great game, was really fun to play!
Great Concept. The boulder feels weighty and that's a good thing. Really captures the struggle of pulling a heavy object.
BTW, Would love for you to try my game too.
It is an Action Platformer with unique controls.

love it, my game started out as a Sisyphus-themed adventure as well, I wish I stuck with it
I think it's a very fun game! I especially enjoy swinging around the map with the boulder! :) BUT the game isssss quite glitchy
