Climb the hill. Climb it again. You were so close. One more try. Surely you'll do it this time.

Sisyphus would be proud.

Of all the games I've written, this is the one I've played the most. I have a dice tray on my desk and plenty of dice within reach, so it's easy and a low time investment.

My personal record for number of steps up the hill rests at 10 at time-of-writing, though I'm sure if I persist I'll make it all the way, right?
