FOUR FORCES

Sisyphus walks the hill forever — that part was never up to you. What's up to you: Q W O P each dial the strength of one fundamental force. Hold a key to ramp its dial, let go and it decays. Keep all four in rough balance and the myth actually moves forward; neglect one and the walk drags.

Q gravity W electromagnetism O weak force P strong force

Whichever dial you're currently maxing out becomes dominant — and the hillside is a living cellular automaton whose ruleset follows whoever's winning. Push the weak force high and the terrain itself gets unstable and can open a gap under your feet. SPACE / UP jumps the gaps. Mash P until the strong force stops sharing with the other three, and see what happens.
