The rules are simple: quit the game to win.

But is it really that simple?

Well... play the game and find it out! 😉


"QUIT THE GAME TO WIN" is a short game where things get weird quite fast. 
A game where quitting is not that simple...

Inspired by minimalistic, mind-bending games like "There is no game" and "Please, don't touch anything".

why is there some sort of search bar on the top of my desktop after i complete the second half of the game

After almost 7 years since its release, I'm 100% sure the game has nothing to do with it. 
Maybe you pressed some strange combination of keys while playing. 
In any case, if I get other reports of such a thing happening again, then I'll surely look into it. 👍

Nice game! Wish it was longer though.

Thank you! 😃 Feel free to try my latest game "A Quiet Nothing" for a longer and more challenging experience. 😉

you should bundle the ost with your games,especially quit the game to win.

This was really cool! I remember watching jacksepticeye and Markiplier's playthroughs of it a long time ago, so when I saw who the developer was, I decided to give it a try myself, and I really enjoyed it. 

(+1)

Yeah, it's definitely my "greatest hit" so far. ☺️
It's so nice that after all this time it still manages to get new players, and with quite positive feedbacks too.
As always, thanks! 😉

I really hope that you get another hit. Your games and stories deserve to get more attention and love.

I beat the game... but what did it cost? Was it worth it?

haha it was awesome! wish it was longer tho, I enjoyed it too much

The game was not very cooperative when I tried to record it, but once I managed, it was quite funny.

Love the idea and the game! Didnt quit

Did i win? Im'not sure of anything anymore...

(+1)

I'm not sure if this game came out before or after "There is no game", but it feels like a spiritual predecessor which I'm all for!

It's about a 5-ish minute experience, the dialogue is pretty funny at times, and it's just an overall clever little story/puzzle game that you'll get a good laugh out of at least once

My playthrough:

tw// spoilers

Amazing game! i've played it twice, every time it quits itself i say "What Happened?!" in shock.

I've got SuperF4, which is unstoppable. Is that cheating?

(+2)(-1)

Thank you!
And yes, unfortunately that counts as cheating too, but you know, "Quit The Game In-Game To Win" sounded a bit mouthful. 😉

Cool Game!

Amazing game! Had a lot of fun while playing this ;)

(+1)

Thanks! 👍

(+1)

That was very weird. Had fun but would be nice if longer.

Thank you! For a longer (and weirder) experience, I'd suggest you to try "Sealess Mother" or "N.I.N.E.".
They're more on the creepy side (especially "Sealess Mother"), but nonetheless worth a play if you enjoyed "Quit the game to win". 😉

(+2)

I love games that break the 4th wall. They feel a lot more personal. Great concept. Super simple and well executed.

(also, I spent waaay to long trying to call the "X" button)

And seeing how there aren't enough video links here, I'll add one more:

Thanks! Hope you'll take a look at my other games too!

(psst... especially these two 😉: https://approductions.itch.io/nine, https://approductions.itch.io/sealess-mother)

I loved the creepiness towards the end of the game as well as the humour too! I love games like this that is on the same level as “Don’t Push The Button” or “Dude, Stop”. 

Hope to see more like this in the future!

Thank you! 😉

This was actually a very satisfying game to play and made quite a few laughs for me.
