Hobo Simulator is fuelvin's Unity WebGL survival-adventure idle on itch.io (verified live, 4.5 stars across 30 ratings): start with nothing, interact with the world with the arrows, attack with space, and yes, earn a jetpack along the way, because the update log says so.
What the loop feels like
You scavenge, the upgrades accumulate, and eventually the hobo has a jetpack. That's Hobo Simulator.
