(It's highly advised to play the game before reading this article)

All right, let's be honest. The La La Land games do not make much sense. But that's what makes them so much fun.

This time, Biggt starts off being confronted with a heavily-pixelated large sprite that proclaims "ia m a poor fishhead in need of money. it's okay to steal from the rich cos they have lots to spare!" And thus, you travel through the rich people's home and take from a pile of gold, handful by handful, until the fish-head has enough to buy a necklace. Meanwhile, a song dedicated to the beautiful people of earth looms over Biggt’s deeds (with lyrics that go: “an ecology song that is for hearts that care, protect, conserve, love and share”). Upon returning to the rich, who are now dead, the game rhetorically asks "without money how were the nobles to survive?".

La La Land is a series of surrealist platformers by TheAnemic, and La La Land 5 is probably the clearest expression in a series that was probably never meant to be clear. You play Biggt, who now looks like the bat-boy dressing up as David Lynch; you run around with the left and right, up to jump, and down to throw bibles. You see, you're a Bible Salesman(tm) and you're out hustling your wares on pink fish that go to sleep when you toss them long-bound tomes like axes from Castlevania. Did I mention how fucking genuis this is?

Go play it now, then come back and reflect with me. (Spoilers after the break.)
