Meaningless Suffering is a 2D platformer where you push a simple circle up an unforgiving mountain. But don’t be fooled; the true battle isn’t physical. It’s psychological. Every fall chips away at your patience. Every restart tests your will. How far will you go in the face of failure?
In search of meaning, and face to face with the void;
You push. Not to win, but to reflect.
In this minimalist, symbolic experience, you control a lone rectangle tasked with pushing a circle up an endless hill.
The controls are simple: tap a single button to apply force.
Push. Push. Push.
Key Features
– One-button gameplay
– Minimalist art style
The climb never ends. But maybe that's not the point.
