Sisyphos
Sisyphos the Game Boy Game
Roll the rock to the top, it will roll back down. Keep trying... forever!
Use direction keys on your keypad, or D-pad on the Game boy, to direct Sisyphus. Press Z on a keypad or A button on the Game Boy to push the rock.
Sisyphus or Sisyphos was forced, every day, to roll an immense boulder up a mountain, only for it to roll back down every time. This was his punishment from Zeus for cheating death.
Inspired by this classical myth, tasks that are both laborious and futile are therefore described as Sisyphean.

Delivered on exactly what was described! This is an authentic Sisyphus simulator, and it's an excellent addition to any Gameboy collection. Solid controls make you truly feel like Sisyphus and the rock physics are modern and sleek.
Bonus! If you are a parent, bring this one along for long car rides. Kids asked one too many times how much longer the drive will be?
Let them play this game.
Promise them that you'll tell them exactly how much further it is as soon as they get the rock to the top of the mountain. Then, relax and enjoy your well-earned peaceful drive.
Thanks for the review, I’m happy the simple game has an application too! 😆😆
