A brand new venture into a Reaganomical hellscape!

Play as the titular Ladder Louie! Complete the construction before your savings run dry! But be warned, weary worker, for the heinous Donald Deagan has recently gained political power, and his exploitative policies seek to ruin you and your savings to inflate his own wealth! How long can you survive in this capitalist wasteland, where the gap between the rich and poor ever increases, leaving you and your fellow workers to die in the dust?

Why should I, the player, be all about this?

  • Engage in fast-paced puzzle-platforming action!
  • Race against time itself to succeed!
  • Complete the construction of 15 unique levels!
  • Deal with the constant meddling of Donald Deagan's wacky policies!
  • Runs are potentially endless! See how long you can survive!

  • Level order and Deagan policies are random, ensuring no two runs are the same!

Multiple control options found within!

  • WASD + JKL
  • Arrow keys + ZXC
  • Or use a controller! Those are neat!

This game is quite efficient at teaching players that neoliberalism is hell.

Seriously though, this is brilliant. I loved the visual style and how polished everything is. The idea for procedural challenges generation is just great. I found myself memorizing all the layouts for all the levels to be able to beat them more efficiently on the higher levels. The fact that you sometimes can get hopelessly stuck and your only way out is to jump to your death or drop the block only makes the message of the game come through stronger.

In conclusion: f*ck neoliberalism, kudos to the team behind this game!

Playing this was really fun, the idea and concept for me was new and it is really well polished. I like it, Picasso

This game is really fun to play and well polished.
