I definitely like this 8-Bit music in this game and the pixel art is really good as well. It’s also satisfying to smash things (am I a psychopath too?) since it fells like you have an actual impact. So good implementation there!
I just have the felling it misses the point of the topic a bit, I dunno. I understand your thought of failiure of the point of view of the company shipping these things… Maybe you could have made something like this: You hit a mousetrap and it makes you stronger or you benefit in another way.
Anyway, it’s a great game and fun to play!
