Friday Flash Fun -- This is one of those Sisyphussian games where the point is to push a certain object towards a goal, but once you reach the goal (and advance to the next level), you find you have to do it all over again. As Camus says,

The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

You be the judge.

I was hoping to roll a stone to the top of the hill, oh well.

This is just like a Bible-story game I played once on the Super Nintendo: quite dull.

Something is wrong with "Sysiphean"?

Also, that music blows.

Naa, what blows is not being able to turn the music off, as far as I can tell.

Well, I liked it- not sure why you folks didn't.

Also, this is my 1000th post on MeFi. Huzzah. It sure feels memorable.

how the hell do you solve level 28?

OK, I beat it. I guess that sometimes you actually need to read the instructions.

nice flash work, but a generally non-interesting game. sisyphys in its boredom, but not in spirit.

yes, 28 is impossible unless you read the instructions about digging...
