How does your game fit the theme?
Endless loops of work for paying loans could be the theme of this game, but remember Albert Camus' saying :"One must imagine Sisyphus happy." And one may notice that there are two cycles in the word "loop", one for work and one for life.

Cute game.Like it.
When I first started playing the game, I felt really desperate watching my debts keep rising. But after I got familiar with the gameplay, I felt inexplicably refreshed. Drawing circles on the tablet felt like practicing pen control. Maybe this game is more suitable for playing on a mobile phone?
Guess you are right, but me only got keyboard&mouse when developing XD
I'm gonna be in debt forever. On the plus side, I get an epic sound effect before every level! Fun game!
The debt figures are really oppressive. It's like an allegorical game and I really like it
Bro got that vibe! Really appreciate it! :D
And no reward at the end?.. You owe me a new drawing tablet! :D
I could resist a challenge to find a way to beat somehing that is not supposed to be beaten :D
Seriously though - really enjoyed art and vibes
Wow... that's really... unexpected tbh. Ya worth a medal for sheer persistence!
Guess I’ll have to bump up the starting loan a little bit lol
Interesting idea, could be developed further. The visuals and aesthetics are great, reminds me of A Little to the Left
Yeah the out-of-work part was supposed to be way more fleshed out, yet most efforts were made to polish up VFX & SFX lol
I love the minimalist style, though maybe I'm too into incremental upgrades to consider this a game per say, it's more of a beautiful aesthetic and asmr experience, quite refreshing compared to other submissions, great job! Also feels super polished, loved it :)
Soooooo glad you enjoyed the vibe! Also looooove the expression "super polished" -- which makes all the work worth it, many thanks for playing!
Simple yet delightful visuals and sound effects, with content that's even somewhat philosophical—though it's a bit ironic how you're just repeating rigid, money-driven actions in the end.
Bro reached the flower part ...right?
Oh no worries! Maybe I haven’t reached the flower part yet—I’ve been stuck replaying the first level. Not sure how to progress, haha. Could it be that I’m rushing too much and losing too many points from missed accuracy checks?
Ah that part of behavior was taken into consideration when designing as well, so don't bother triggering special events intentially
Try loop fast enough or stay idle if the loan interest has got covered once (i.e. get past the first day)
The minimalist art and crisp sound effects are wonderful！
Really appreciate it, bro got my SFX xd
nice love it
thx mate, love yours too
I really like the aesthetic, it is kinda relaxing ngl
Cool game!
The cover of your game is great too :)
