Sisyphus by Wan
SISYPHUS AND THE CURSED DIAMONDS
made in France, by Manu & Wan
________________________________
This platformer is about heroes, greed and repentance... and most of all, it's about wondering: Who is the villain, you or you?
________________________________
- CONTROLS : You'll figure them out... Except ENTER, that you can hold to skip cutscenes.
- KNOWN ISSUES (only in the Jam version) : Selecting traps sometimes fails. It also has a few glitches, otherwise it should work as intended.
- TECH : Made in HTML5 with CraftyJS and some other cool libraries.
________________________________
* 13/05/2016: This recommended version saw its levels and balancing reworked from the ground up. Most bugs and quirks are also fixed. The game is still hard, but more fun to play!
** 26/04/2014: Note that the original 2012 sources don't work anymore in modern browsers. This version is mostly the same, except we polished some details, and especially upgraded the engine... introducing a few glitches.

I love the music even if it did get a bit repetitive.
The changing traps can be a touch clumsy but thats the only thing I could fault.
Awesome job.
Music was fine (if a bit repetative), graphics were good. Overall it was great, and especially innovative with the basic mechanic.

This idea really speaks to me, being a recursive frog and all. ;)
It is a joy to experience true innovation when it comes to new game ideas.
Sometimes the moving feels very glitchy and I ran into traps without my faults (as you mentioned and others mentioned here).
Very good job anyway!
The game could use some sound effects!
