Ha! I broke free to the promise land... full of lies! :D I loved the graphics, loved the punk-ish idea, nice!
I loved the pixel art you did and the sound effects! Funny commentary on the state of some games nowadays.
Excellent game, i liked the message and the retro style graphics especially when the boxes fall out of the gba style grid. Great job! Keep up the good work!
Fun idea! Feels nice to play, just not much to do. obviously we were all limited on time, but regardless I think making something more of the shop should be prioritized over the "free play area", if you decide to do post-jam work on the game.
Awesome Loop with a nice leveling sound, why would anyone go outside?
@bananabobbert love this comment hahaha
Well... the idea of "breaking free of a boring gameplay loop" did feel sort of undermined by the fact that there was nothing to do outside of the loop other than jump in a hole. It would be funny to see this sort of satire on pay to win games be expanded, though.
Nice little experiment, very much enjoyed it! Looking forward to purchasing those items from the shop in a couple of weeks :)
Nice idea, and I really like the graphical style. Kind of like a GameBoy-esque Stanley Parable. A bit light on content right now but would be interested to see it developed further.
fun little game, well done!
that was a nice, well put together short experience. everything worked well together and it go a laugh out of me. nice work!
Really clever idea
@ninnec thank you!
Held A, won. I'm a pro now. Actually got 100 gems without paying a cent :B

Short but sweet experience. A bit difficult to read the text because of the color and placement, but otherwise, it felt like a good satire. I'd say it's rather remarkable and memorable, making me yearn for good old times when games were just games and not money sinks.
Ah well. Thanks a lot for sharing it with the community! Cheers! 🐳
@moski thank you for your thoughtful comment. When I was making it I wasn't sure if it would resonate with anyone. So glad the meaning is clear and the outcome is positive. Thanks for playing!
Really really nice game. Well done.
powerful, as you did a great job at making the bar going up be very satisfying. I especially liked the commentary on... [...]
Ha ha! Nice job! (Also, go Construct 3!)
@trexxak Ha ha! Yeah, more or less!
Hah, I like the take on things with the "breaking out of the loop" and all. Wish there was some actual thing to do once you break free, but still, points for creativity.
Nice job ! It’s a simple game, but it’s creative and I like the secret of jumping through the right side to break through the loop. I wonder what’s the most anyone’s held the A button?
This hits a spot dude. Great job and observations on the gaming industry. Sound and graphics were good. The idea was brilliant. The controls although not the focus of the idea felt snappy and on point. Great entry!
@snowinn I would love to know as well. I was hoping to introduce a leaderboard but didn't have enough time (or knowledge haha).
@cosmicpickle Really glad you enjoyed it and that the message resonated. Thanks for playing!
@trexxak Genius comment! Very on brand. Looking forward to those LD-Premium loot crates!
