I definitly felt spurned on by the comments in the livestream chat. Very original and charming too.

As a lot of comments already mentioned, the Art is amazing, as well as the QTE that solves the traditional cookie clicker type game being a waiting game. very satisfying sfx as well!

Very engrossing number go up game. The art is slick, and the QTEs make the moment to moment gameplay more engaging. Would play again!

I was going to say the game felt a little too "Sisyphean" for me as the player until the words started popping up, which made it much more of a challenge in a way I really enjoyed! Obviously the whole thing is meant to be Sisyphean of course, but it's still good to watch out for how the player feels while they're being asked to do a task that was originally conceived as a punishment lolol

My favorite part was the setting - really creative insertion of our modern world and a nice little commentary ahaha. And the violin cue when you fail was so satisfying to listen to that I wasn't even too mad when I failed! (That is until the text typing development, because then I was failing wayy more often)

Excellent job!!!

It's cool, we did a great job. I like the color palette, the style, the idea, and the jokes in the chat. But it's a bit difficult to click and press keyboard shortcuts at the same time

The Tale of the Lost Stardrops

Sam GormanSubmitted262 days ago (2 edits) (+1)

The presentation of this game is really good. The art is super stylish, of course, but everything around it is so creative and detailed as well. The Greek gods in chat, Sisyphus’s little flips, and just the idea of him being a streamer is hilarious.

I found the gameplay chaotic, but kind of awkward. It’s not super interesting to begin with - it’s just quick time events, really - but it was made more frustrating by the controls. Pressing arrow keys (on the right side of the keyboard) with your left hand while using a mouse is really uncomfortable. When I started having to pick out words with one hand while spamming left click with my other, it became both tedious and hurt my wrist. At the very least, I would make sure the controls are less physically strenuous, and maybe update gameplay in general to be more in-theme and engaging.

I loved everything around the gameplay, though. I think with some changes there, the Sisyphus streamer concept could make for a really neat game!

Thanks for the feedback!

This tediousness was part of the plan - the game is about Sisyphus pushing a boulder, so making it somewhat tedious was definitely part of the plan. But yep, using both keyboard and mouse can be a bit too much.

Maybe the difficulty setting would help. Now the only way to escape tediousness is to just skip the trick - there is no penalty for that :) Or just stop clicking on typing phase - what I do - since clicks become underpowered pretty soon anyways :)

Sam GormanSubmitted262 days ago

I didn’t notice the difficulty setting - nor did I realize you don’t have to click later on. Maybe I’ll give that a try sometime.

RakudajinDeveloper262 days ago(+1)

Oh, sorry for being misleading :) We don't have difficulty settings - that was more like brainstorming what could be a solution for the problem you've mentioned :)

But stopping clicking is totally an option. And failing also gives reward - it's first of all a simulation of a streamer, not of an athlete, so a good fail can sometimes bring even more donations than a good trick :)

Most fun game I've ever seen here. Everything feels so polished. It's really impressive that you made all the assets.

roseriieSubmitted262 days ago(+1)

This is such a fun game!! I just had a little trouble of it not detecting my A and D keys being pressed at the same time for the spin but my keyboards also a bit wonky so it could absolutely just be that. I got so much satisfaction from gaining subscribers and viewers for pushing the rock though, didn't think I'd have this much fun from a clicker game. Great job!

Sisyphean Struggle

jhollSubmitted262 days ago (1 edit) (+1)

Very original concept and shockingly clean execution! I never expected to have so much fun in a clicker game. This hit especially hard since I'm playing after a painful 12-hour work day. I saw that your previous games take heavy inspiration from absurdism. It's great that you were able to apply what's clearly an important influence for you to the theme in a way that felt so natural but still highly creative. Great work! Definitely an entry to be proud of!

This is a really well-made game! Love the morning-daytime cycle and the upgrade system. It took me some time to learn the timing for the controls, but I felt excited and had a blast playing it!
