Defeat the enormous mechanical beasts--and become one of them.
4.04 / 5.00 51,201 Views"Every day the same dream" is a slightly existential riff on the theme of alienation and refusal of labor. The idea was to charge the cyclic nature of most video games with some kind of meaning (i.e. the "play again" is not a game over). Yes, there is an end state, you can "beat" the game.
Made in about 6 days: 3 code + 3 content + 1 making crappy drones with an electric guitar (alternate soundtrack that didn't make into the final game).

Edit: there was a misattribution in the original entry, thank you Tom for fixing it.

OMFG
That's fantastic. Everything makes sense now! That's beautiful, in a psycho looping whose you can't really break, but that's fantastic.

sadly, not for me.
there is no doubt, this is exemplary art. it's a good game, but only in the sense that it has an excellent message. the actual game part was sadly lacking and could definitely be improved; there are lots of ways to convey that message while being more playable.
actually, the only reason i'm not giving this a 10 is that it doesn't have that much of an impact on me. i only had the tiniest iota of fun finishing it (too easy) and i could have cared less for its message which was done, and i believe in a more effective manner, in countless works before. but it is a great "game."

Awesome Game
The ending reminds me of The Myth of Sisyphus. Within the loop of his boring daily life there is another loop in which he is continuously trying to break free, the guy he watches jump off at the end is himself in a later iteration of the loop signifying he will never truly be free. Very nice job! Cool music, art style and awesome idea.
