It sounds and feels more like a we're playing a game, which we don't want to be reminded of.



I'm not entirely sure it's a case of a better idea being needed, rather that the current idea be better implemented. Make the levelling up less overt. Give it context.
Well if the game actually says "level 2 soup upgrade" then yeah, my disbelief will not be very suspended. Do we have that much information on how it's been implemented?

Edit:
ichso, I like the sound of that!
