He now has to pay a recurring subscription fee to be allowed to push that rock. Also missing a day would reset his winning streak.
The secret trick is that each sticker makes it slightly bigger and heavier.
Got to show some love to Bouldy
Someone made this Sisyphus idle game some time ago. (It doesn't work well on mobile devices)
How bout if the owner of the mountain throws him a pizza party once a couple of months.
In some version of the myth they actually put an exit back to the living world up there. Sisyphus in life tried to cheat death (even succeeded for a bit) which is part of why he wound up in Tartarus. He could stop pushing the rock any time he wanted, but it would mean giving up on escape.
There actually is a Sisyphus game that has this. You push a boulder up a hill filled with obstacles and can unlock new skins for the boulder.

I raise you Rock of Ages . The first one is cool, the second game is amazing, with coop n'stuff. It's basically "what if Sisyphus got pissed"
Edit: of course you get different skins for the rock
Dude needs 11 pieces of flair on his rock.
A roguelite with metaprogression?
I'm in
There’s an iPhone game that’s basically this (called Sisyphus). I got bored pretty quick though.

Not if you work hard for each
