Rolling Up That Hill
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
- Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus, 1942
Premise
You are Sisyphus - although you have cheated death twice, your conniving tricks were still no match for the almighty Zeus. As punishment for your misdeeds, you've been sent to the depths of Tartarus. The only thing you must do is push up the gigantic boulder ahead of you up the hill. Seems simple enough, right?
Score a point every time you successfully roll the boulder over the hill, but be wary - there is a chance that you may falter, causing you to drop the boulder and fall all the way to the bottom. But that wouldn't happen, right? ;)
Controls
Press space to push and roll the ball upward!

A Sisyphus meme? Really?
The game itself isn't all that, but the story of good ol' Sisyphus ain't either. So overall, this an accurate representation of me trying to learn GDscript.
