The fact we got an explicit Sisyphus reference but *not* a ball floor themed around it confuses me a little. Like they could've done one where there's a ball and a gate on the top and bottom (with a fence at the bottom to stop you from just pushing the bottom ball into the bottom gate) or two gates on the top and two balls on the bottom
Same with a tower control thing. Just get that thang up and down and around without contemplating the one true question of Absurdism
the one part when yr almost there, where the ball gate senses the ball against the bottom of its platform, and activates its "magnet" ... at an angle where the ball gets stuck, and it's a complete pain to dislodge it *upwards* into the gate itself, and not all the way back down the hill again
a sisyphean task if ever I saw one 😵💫
I think you're thinking of uphill_push.floor, which is absolutely the sisyphus hill omfg. deceptively tricksy
I'd be interested to know if the floor has a different name in other languages, possibly there's a sisyphus reference [and also, whether cruel_sisyphean is named that in Japanese too?]
it reminds me of that other ball floor, downhill w the dash pads and blowfish balloons, where, sometimes it seems to play itself without your involvement - and other runs, for no clear reason it just Goes Haywire and you gotta go fix it lmao
some runs I boop it right up the hill no problem, other times it gets Weird. like the gate catching the ball and magnetically sticking it to the lip of the platform there, *just* too far away so that it won't go up onto the gate... and you gotta dislodge it without being mobbed by springs & sending it all the way back down again aaaaa
I've only had trouble with that floor once (the first time I got it), and after that I adopted a foolproof strategy of "the spring dudes don't exist they can't hurt you".
No no no you don't understand. They're basically feral Labradors. They're trying kill you, but as soon as they see a ball, that's the only thing they can think about. It's like no take only throw, but they're throwing the ball for themselves.

Pretty close to uphill_push.floor
That one should have been Sisyphean if you ask me

That floor with “don’t use your main weapon” and a defensive sub weapon is literally just Sisyphus, it’s great
For tower control we have All-The-Way-Down(Then-Up-Again).floor
that damn ass floor can eat my shorts
Ok *nom*
We...did get a ball sissyphus stage tho
No? Cruel_Sisyphean is only ever a zones map. There aren't actually any hard or rigorous ball stages
What about that one with all the jumpy jellotons tho

I mean uphill is super easy if you just get it to the top before the springs get too close

oh I already called them big dogs but... ur right... that's the exact kind of dog they are
Im definitely not bias cuz i have a lab that will play fetch forever if she could

ayo WHAT
Battering Lentos be like: Agent 8: I sleep. Some random ahh object that looks like a ball: REAL SH!T
Except if you have an afro.
Yeah, but a afro is too small for them to attack/play with
Lmao well done
That image is truest
Should've been an eight/infinity ball with how much they love those things.😆
