Remember the vertical scroller shoot'em up games like Ikaruga back when we were young? This is a meta of it: it starts as lego blocks in a board, then chalk figures on a green board, and so on as you upgrade the graphics. It's not just the graphics or your battleship: you have to buy and upgrade everything, including the save system, menu, copyright, music, mute button, logo, etc. Of course, you also upgrade your battleship. The money for battleship and money for game upgrade are the same, making the meta aspect of it every more obvious and the game even more awesome. It's like an upgraded version of fourth wall breaking or something.
