About This Game

PTW is a competitive game about paying.

You buy a level. You are then one level higher than you were. When you fight, the game compares your level with your opponent's level and the higher number wins. There is no combat, no timing, no skill and no way to win a fight you have paid less for.

One product, one price. One level, about one dollar or one euro. No bundles, no currency, no discounts, no quantity selector. Ten levels means pressing the button ten times.

The level is a switch. Your level is shown as an 11-pole DIP switch, 1024 down to 1. Each purchase flips the poles that change. Level 43 is 32 + 8 + 2 + 1. The maximum is 2047.

An honest ledger. Every purchase is a timestamped line with a running total, in real money. Your total spend is visible on every screen.

A public board. Every account on Steam is ranked by level, which is to say by spend. Fights are against real players from the board.
