I've tried several entries and this has got to be one of my favorites! Super creative concept with nice, sleek execution. There's definitely potential for expansion into a full desktop title (or, more fittingly, I guess, a mobile app :P)
Hahaha, maybe one day it'll hit the app store B) thank you for playing!!
This is very interesting and has a very important message too. It's hard to believe that some people will spend their time in pointless websites and silly little games. #shakingmyhead

Now instead of getting brainrot from my phone, I can give someone else the brainrot. The disease spreads!
Great game!
Hell yea, oh how the turn tables B)
Thanks for playing B)
It makes you think like corporate companies trying to exploit money from their users. It makes people question their life choices, nice!
Ahahaha for sure, I've no doubt that all apps like Instagram and Twitter are in cahoots with ebay and amazon to get their hands deeper and deeper into my pockets >:(
really cool concept! it was kind of trippy haha
the phone stares back at you O_O
Amazing game I would love to see a more expanded version of it
