Hi everyone, I am back with a medium-sized update focusing on the game's polish in almost all areas! I believe it has a little bit to offer for everyone: a new level, enhanced Text-to-Speech support, bug fixes, increased performance, typo fixes, maintenance, and more! The new level is called 'Ares' and is at the end of the fourth world (Phlegethon) at 4-13. It is quite a long and sophisticated level, so in case you completed all levels and are looking for a few (hopefully) adequately challenging minutes, this level is for you! The enhanced Text-to-Speech support refers to a new TTS option: You can enable that all Text-to-Speech narration text gets also copied to your system's clipboard. Some screen readers are apparently able to read the clipboard out aloud. Hopefully this makes it easier for players with vision impairment to play the game. Thanks again to the person on the Centi Games Community Discord for suggesting this feature. For more information see the full changelog below. I wish you all have a great day! :) Cheers!

Play as Sisyphus from Ancient Greek mythology, who got punished to push a rock for eternity in the underworld after having cheated Death twice. While this game does not go on for eternity, you can play over 70 different levels with varying difficulties, each level having the goal of pushing the white rock into the goal tile.
Contrary to many other Sokoban games, the objective in every Sisypush level is to bring just one special rock to the target tile. Additional mechanics such as larger rocks, rivers, or ice will present a challenge in many levels.
Features
- Over 70 levels, split up into 5 worlds
- A new game mechanic is introduced in each world
- A map-like level selection with branching paths
- Complete enough levels to unlock the gate to the next world
- Unlimited Undos
- Easy to learn
- Full controller support
- Minimalistic 1-bit art style
- 20 achievements.
- Optionally, you can try to optimize your route in each level and try to achieve the best rating.
Accessibility
- Remappable Controls
- Bind any and as many keys or controller buttons to the in-game controls
- TTS (Text-to-Speech) support (blind accessible):
- Notice: Requires usable voices installed on your system (SAPI voices). Unfortunately the game cannot communicate with screen readers.
- Players who are vision impaired can activate TTS by pressing F1 at the start of the game (or 'Select' on a gamepad).
- UI elements (including the level selection) are narrated and can be navigated using keys or a controller.
- In a level, the TTS Object Narrator acts as a seperate "camera" that can move independently of the player and can describe all tiles. It narrates the tile's coordinates and what is on the tile.
- The levels do not have any time limit. So you can explore each level at your own pace. It might still be beneficial if you have decent spatial imagination.
- A help section accessible from the main menu explains all controls and in-game mechanics.
- Settings to change voice, speed, pitch, and volume of the text-to-speech functionality.
- Notice: Requires usable voices installed on your system (SAPI voices). Unfortunately the game cannot communicate with screen readers.
- Audio volume controls (change the volumes of music, sound effects, and ambience sounds independently)
- Turn off screen shake (level transitions will still be enabled though)
- Turn off vibration (for gamepads)
This game is for you if:
- You like puzzle games.
- You don't mind short games.
- If you don't have much Sokoban experience, I estimate it will take 4-5 hours to complete every level.
- Experienced players will probably be able to complete the game in 2-3 hours.
- If you don't have much Sokoban experience, I estimate it will take 4-5 hours to complete every level.
- You like minimalist art.
- If you enjoy accessibility features such as text-to-speech support.
Please consider wishlisting and following the game! :)
