Steam Store description

This is a game in which being scammed is a feature. You will be trying to mind your own business and collect coin-like objects while being hunted by evil red squares. But out of no where you will get scammed. This game is also a scam, it is clearly a scam I would not recommend playing this for your whole life. Spending money on this will not change your life in any way. However it might help you pass the time, the loading screen is pretty long so there's a cool feature. It is totally intentional too. The game has state of the art pixel graphics, and the music will help you sleep. By sleep I mean, obviously you will have nightmares, but you will close the game so quickly you will not be on your computer anymore. This game is clearly a public service that should be rewarded with the utmost respect. Controls are: WASD to move Space to shoot Cursor to get scammed To those who think the loading bar is the entire thing, it can be skipped. Loading is not important.
