I'll be honest with you, there isn't much gameplay and it's not possible to get out of the loop.
But there is a way to win the game. It requires changing reality itself!

*So I didn't even plan to participate in the jam this time, but I got an idea for this "puzzle". Hopefully someone figures it out and posts the win screen in the comments ;)

Be sure to command the coroutine to prevent stuck in same loop again

You definitely nailed the theme with this one.

I did not manage to alter reality. ):
DID get stuck in a loop, though. So I have to give top marks for the Theme.

(POTENTIAL SPOILERS)

i didn't manage to do it, but i didn't mess with the source. I'm suspecting it has something to do with that?

at first i was suspecting that there was a parameter in the page HTML source like a variable I could mess with and "change reality" without downloading the source code. or maybe there is, but i didn't find it. that would be a much more elegant way to do it. anyway, pretty good use of the theme, i like it.

@jegus9 you basically figured it out, you would need to mess with the source of the project. Your idea for having a parameter in html sounds cool, I should have done it like that if I had more time on hand :)

@foursay Thats it, you just have to trigger it :)

Well you don't get much better at use of theme :)
I honestly had no idea what was going on when I first loaded it and ultimately I still didn't. I clicked through who knows how many times. Some how though I didn't hate it

Well... Although each entry of Ludum Dare is open-source, I have to admit that it is the first time I actually read the source code. This game is a good promotion of learning Unity :)

Ok this concept is awesome ! Change the source-code reality 😂

Excellent out of the box thinking! I clicked a bunch and didn't figure it out, but glad there are lots of smart people in the comments so I can still enjoy how clever the puzzle was!

This game is too complex for a human brains to comprehend.

Funny concept , even though it's a joke the animations were actually fun to look at and the sounds were a nice addition. When I read the 'solution' in the comments I realized it's a clever metapuzzle but I can't really say I like it as a game. I had a laugh clicking through it a bunch though.

Splendid games don’t have to be enormous! This game stands out because it’s so simple, but so artistic. I my opinion you nailed the theme very well, and you have created an artistic game. I didn’t know how to change the reality, but I played many days and weeks. I even checked the code to see the solution, but I didn’t find it. It felt very satisfying to hit those buttons to process your daily activities. Good job m8!
