I think people don't actually apreciate the "smartness" of the title, and the work in general. Funny idea, yet it have a problem within itself. In game, you don't have a final goal or/and a highscore. If this is core idea and you don't want to change it, fine, this game will remain as a manifestation of art, good enough. Yet, if you want to continue this project, I would actually recomand you to think how you can integrate a "meaning" to the "meaningless". Maybe trough some comedy/drama spykes (like how hard is the life for this immortal rock sphere with no desire to exist) because right now the game feel for a "average" player as a waste. At least that's my opinion. Good luck with your craft!
Viewing post in Sisyphean Pinball jam comments
Thank you for taking the time to play our game and leave such a thoughtful comment! We intended from the beginning to have this be a casual game that was more about being a commentary on the Sisyphean nature of games than a game with progress. We think you are right that it might feel like a waste to some players without a high score or an end to the game. However, our concern is that adding something like this might detract from the actual message. We agree that it would be good to add meaning to the meaninglessness and are looking for a way to do that. Currently we have been thinking of adding voice over of the myth of Sisyphus that plays out in sections as you finish each board. Thanks again for the comment.
