Sisyphus Paradox mixes traditional side-scrolling shoot ’em up gameplay with many roguelike mechanics, such as procedurally generated star maps to explore, bonuses that are persistent between runs, and multiple different builds you can try to conquer your enemies. Course through hand-drawn battlefields, lose, try again, until you solve the Sisyphus Paradox.
The Story: An ordinary person finds themselves flung across the galaxy. They are lost far away from home, with a voice in their head as their only guide and companion. Strange alien looking creatures are in pursuit. Help them fight their way back to Earth.
