The game's description just emanates the helplessness and desperation. I like it!
I like how the game has setting in the beginning to choose which keys to use, nice implementation.
I couldn't bear the depressive atmosphere of the game and the daily cycle devoid of all meaning. It fits the dystopian feel very well
Thanks for checking the game out! =D
It's interesting because originally I was just making a crane game where you try to get the most money for a high score, and you go to a restaurant to eat, and then go home to sleep, but the lack of time forced me to just put everything in the crane machine. It went from a silly take on an arcade classic, to a super depressing allegory about how minimum wage workers are treated.
Fun and simple. Good graphics and really nice title art!
Glad you enjoyed it! I really liked your game as well! =)
The dystopian themes really!
Lol it do be like that sometimes!
This game made me feel depressed, but I think that was the point, so good job! As frustrating as playing a real crane game.
Thanks for checking it out! This was my first time working with a darker theme/plot so I'm glad it showed through.
