Key Your Debt

This game is pretty difficult and matches the crippling fear and anxiety I feel paying off my real life debt. Five stars.

I saw a video on TikTok about this game, and I was apprehensive to try... but this game sucks you in! It's so much fun! I do recommend reading the directions when you first start cuz I died twice before I realized what I was doing wrong :)

you're paying $2 for a game that gives you a reason to mash your keypad as fast as possible. the game is very short. you can complete the game in one 5 minute attempt, but you probably won't get it on your first try. you start out learning the controls. there's a shop where you purchase upgrades but the game doesn't pause while you are shopping, so you need to learn how to do your shopping as quickly as possible. once you have that down you need to figure out the optimal build order for these upgrades. it's not hard to figure out if you stop and think, but you'll probably get more fun out of the game doing it by trial and error. you may need to figure out how to button mash sustainably. 5 minutes of mashing is a lot more than you're probably used to. is the game fun? i'm not sure. it's a short experience and maybe you'll consider the novelty to be worth $2. don't expect the game to make you that much better at using the keypad.
