A roguelite with metaprogression?

There’s an iPhone game that’s basically this (called Sisyphus). I got bored pretty quick though.

There actually is a Sisyphus game that has this. You push a boulder up a hill filled with obstacles and can unlock new skins for the boulder.

How bout if the owner of the mountain throws him a pizza party once a couple of months.
-
He now has to pay a recurring subscription fee to be allowed to push that rock. Also missing a day would reset his winning streak.

Someone made this Sisyphus idle game some time ago. (It doesn't work well on mobile devices)

There is also a Sisyphus game on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/2904890/The_Game_of_Sisyphus/

Gamer Sisyphus keeps grinding without being tempted to pay $20 for a ligher boulder with RGB.

Not if you work hard for each

Dude needs 11 pieces of flair on his rock.

add different unlockable rocks and micro transactions and you've got Sisyphus Impact

It's fun to let the rock roll down each time a little different!

strong "Orphan Crushing Machine" vibes
I love it !

In some version of the myth they actually put an exit back to the living world up there. Sisyphus in life tried to cheat death (even succeeded for a bit) which is part of why he wound up in Tartarus. He could stop pushing the rock any time he wanted, but it would mean giving up on escape.
This is a pretty good detail. Makes the story a lot more interesting, and deep.
It feels torturous though. Like he’s just being greedy now instead of being tortured.
Meant to say less torturous.
