International Women’s Day was this week. Time to stick it to the patriarchy with Lost Wage Rampage!

Sexism is infuriating. There’s only so many calm conversations you can have; sometimes you just want to smash things. That’s where this game comes in.

Lost Wage Rampage

In Lost Wage Rampage two store clerks find out they’re being underpaid compared to their male counterparts. The solution? Hop in a car and tear through the mall, destroying merchandise, avoiding cops, and taking as much money as they can get their hands on.

Shop Till Your Tires Pop

It’s deeply cathartic. Each colourful, carefree playthrough lasts about the length of the game’s one-song punk rock soundtrack (depending on how good you are at dodging the mounting presence of the police). This makes it perfect for when you need a quick break from the daily grind to tear things up.

Lost Wage Rampage is available to download or play in browser for pay what you want on itch.io.
