A game about a very happy guy and his boulder.
Pushing It! With Sisyphus is a difficult and punishing game about pushing a boulder up a hill.
You push the boulder by walking/running into it, and try to reach the top. Be careful though, as tons of obstacles, surprises, and happiness awaits you ahead.
The higher you get up the hill the buffer you get. Start out comically skinny, and come out as a muscular, hulking monster. Try not to fall, as a single slip is all it takes to be back at the beginning.
Roll a boulder up a hill.
Get buffer the higher you climb.
Punishing and difficult but not impossible gameplay.
Lose all your progress at a single slip, and have no one to blame but yourself.
Experience levels of frustration not previously thought possible.
A metaphor for life, but unlike life, death is not an escape.
Attain happiness.
There is an end. You just probably won't make it.
