Sisypush

Sisypush is a 1-bit puzzle game inspired by Sokoban. You play as Sisyphus, the figure from Ancient Greek mythology punished to push a rock through the underworld for eternity after cheating Death twice. Across more than 70 levels, your goal is to push a special white rock onto the goal tile in each level.

Pushing through the levels

Unlike many Sokoban games, each Sisypush level asks you to bring just one special rock to its target. Other rocks and objects can block the way, while larger rocks, rivers and ice add challenges. There is no time limit, so you can explore each level at your own pace, and unlimited undos let you reverse moves. You can also try to optimize your route for the best rating.

The levels are split across five worlds, each introducing a new mechanic. A map-like level selection has branching paths, and completing enough levels unlocks the gate to the next world.

Accessibility and options

The game has remappable controls, and you can bind any number of keys or controller buttons to its controls. Text-to-speech can narrate and provide navigation for interface elements, including the level selection. In a level, an object narrator works like an independent camera: it can move separately from Sisyphus and describe tiles, their coordinates and what they contain. This feature requires usable SAPI voices installed on your system, and the game cannot communicate with screen readers. You can adjust the voice, speed, pitch and volume.

You can adjust music, sound-effect and ambience volumes independently, and turn off screen shake and gamepad vibration. The main menu includes a help section explaining the controls and in-game mechanics. The game also includes 20 achievements.
