"You are poor and bald. Get to work," reads the simple description of Get to Work, a game that is a metaphor for climbing the corporate ladder that also a game where you are a guy with rollerblades on his hands and feet and little wheeled pads on his knees and elbows who can only go very fast. It also has comedy bits and a sassy narrator.

Which actually makes it stand out from most ragebait physics games: The controls and physics are made to be pretty fun, once you learn their quirks.

Plus, advertise the creators: "Unlike your real 9-5 job, you get a "give up" button that you can press at anytime!" Though apparently the consequences are very similar to giving up at your real job: Eternal shame.

Get to Work is a narrated experience, a bit of a satirical jaunt about working in today's economic conditions. It also includes collectible audio clips from a fictional podcast called "The Grindset" that's voiced by several streamers. It does have some pretty neat stuff included, like speedrun support built-in so you don't have to manually time your own runs and their splits. Neat!

You can find Get To Work on Steam for $13. with a 10% off introductory sale running until December 9.
