You play as Sisyphus, who turns his boulder against historical and mythological figures in a comic campaign that travels through different eras.
In most battles, you prepare by spending money on towers, traps, and other obstacles to disrupt the rival boulder. Then you take control of your own boulder, steering it along a course, dodging defenses, and trying to smash the enemy castle gate.
Alongside the campaign, the game offers Time Trial and SkeeBoulder modes. You can also explore courses for collectible keys and replay stages to improve your times.
In this review sample, players often enjoy the unusual mix of boulder racing and defensive planning, along with the absurd historical humor and distinctive art direction. Many find steering a boulder into enemy gates entertaining, though some describe the campaign as short or repetitive and mention awkward handling, uneven AI, or a quiet online mode.
