You Can't Win But You Are Still a Good Person is a never-ending game of whack-a-mole set to blissful music and minimalist graphics. Frenetic but meditative, casual but competitive, hopeful but futile, You Can't Win But You're Still A Good Person embraces these extremes. At its core, it's a concentration game that demands your attention and rewards your patience. It asks the player to manage the state of four ever-changing black and white tiles. Lush ambient music fills the background while hypnotic chimes respond to your touch. How long can you go, and how high can you score, before your inevitable loss?
