Syph

Syph

In this game you accompany Syph in their meaningless labour, as they attempt to break open every boulder that eternally come rolling down one after another. The beginning might be slow, but your patience will be rewarded.

To control your character:
use ARROWS to navigate the different options,
use C to confirm,
use X to chip at the rock.

Every time you hit the rock you gain gold, with which you can purchase different upgrades.

Once you give up, you can start over by pressing Enter and selecting the "Reset Cart" option.

Time reduces the cooldown for each swing.

Fortune increases the amount of gold you can earn per swing, the first digit mean you have 100% chance of getting that digit in gold, and the two last digits means you have XX% chance of getting one extra gold. So for example, 250 fortune means that you have 100% chance of getting 2 gold, and a 50% chance of getting 3 instead!

Power increases the damage dealt to the rock each swing. This also multiplies the gold you earn, making it equivalent to swinging multiple times.

Your final score is the amount of boulders you broke and the total gold accumulated. Every time a new rock comes rolling down, it has 5 more HP than the previous one (starting at 50). Which means you can live out your best eternity meaninglessly smashing boulders!

Playing this game, one must imagine themselves happy.
