People do want to work, clearly you have no understanding of human labour. People want meaningful work, not redundant mindless, drudgery that grinds you down and leaves you an empty husk. If humans/people don't want to work, then how did we even get to this stage of our development (Not a question just a rhetorical statement). Human labour is why we have progressed, it began in it's infancy, prehistory and grew because humans remain active, not only for survival but also for the drive to learn. If we do not learn we die, our brains deteriorate. Even under capitalism when people retire do they remain inactive, no, because it is boring to be inactive. They typically do something they like or have always wanted to do, if they have the means, and continue until they die, or become to physically impaired. Your statements is ridiculous and just because an idea pops into your head doesn't mean you should say it. And just because you have the ability to say your opinion, doesn't mean it holds any weight or is logical in any way. Sometimes it is better to say nothing and be thought dumb than say something and prove it.
this is a great game...it's kind of depressing, haha, realizing nothing cant happen without sacrifice...but it's such a great game. thank you for your hard work and thank you for making this available to everyone!
Interesting piece. I like how it explains why it's possible to replace/improve a few things under capitalism, but that you'll be fighting an uphill/unwinnable battle unless you also fix the underlying assumptions and systems.
I guess it begs the question, though: what actual policies should we put in place, or what action can we take, to "click the gems"?
I mean, the game is an exercise in "Solving" Capitalism. A lot of the switches needed to complete the game are just magical on/off switches unrepresentative of the real world. I'd assume it's satire.
I'm not sure what I'm missing, I've clicked everything but nothing else in the city seems to need changing. Doesn't seem like I finished the game though, the gems turn back into grey blocks after some time.
Hi there. You can find the links behind the grey blocks / gems in the same way you do for the city itself, by holding down the right mouse button and dragging over two of them!

Amazing game. I wish it was this easy to fix problems in real life.
Nice!
i really like the concept and how one problem leads to another but can be solved.
I like the slow build and the way you can combine abstracts to get to bigger issues!

10/10. Great puzzle game
Just one more dream.
Loved the message but after getting the four main GEMS I felt I was stuck.
Is there supposed to be a "Arrived @ Utopia" message?
Glad you liked it! The background colour should change when you've transformed all the basic elements and all parts of the city.

....I have no idea what's supposed to be going on or how it relates to the subject matter of the game.
I really like this game, good job!
