Games Like Sisyphus Upgraded

Start with your hands and a boulder

A single-player, first-person game about physics-based boulder pushing, random rewards, and permanent progression. Your goal is simple: get the boulder to the summit. Approach the stone, adjust your direction, and keep it under control as you work your way uphill. Slopes, obstacles, energy, and momentum all shape the climb.

Reach the summit. Choose a new way forward.

After each climb, choose from random ability and appearance rewards, then improve your attributes. Build up your pushing strength and grip, improve running and energy, and carry your progress into the next day. Unlock abilities such as Power Push, Blink, Freeze, and Sliding Gloves to change how you move and handle the boulder. Rewards require no currency: your choices shape the tools available on your next ascent.

You grow. So does the mountain.

The mountain's size, height, ravines, and obstacle density grow as you progress, with additional random difficulty changes each round. Follow the hillside, try a different slope, and find a route through the changing terrain.

Change the stone and the scenery

Unlock boulder appearances, flowers, foliage, and mountain decorations alongside your abilities. Roll a moon or a star-filled sphere uphill as the landscape gains new details.
