  • Left Mouse Click to interact with the screen

Info

  • Game was made in raw javascript using the p5.js library
  • Art done by lker
  • Audio done by aleitner
  • Programming done by aleitner & lker

The game may be short but p5 only gives access to playing audio, displaying images, and mouse events so it took quite a bit more work than some other tools to make this. Thank you for checking us out!

Can confirm that uBlock Plus blocks the game. Thanks for the disclaimer, it helped me fix it.

I see what you mean by 2000s flash games, I have to admit I chuckled at the distractions. I think what I would have liked is to see my final score when I beat the game!

Other distractions I could imagine in the future are like, the button starts moving, or the screen turns off, or stuff like that. Keep it up!

Ha, this is great. Simple mechanics, but the art really elevates it. Proud to say I did indeed help my snail attain love.

This was great! I liked the art style, I liked the music and sound effects which helped add a ton of humour to the game, and I liked how simple the concept was. If anything it was perhaps a little too easy to beat, but I could see this being expanded on to have different "levels" with perhaps multiple snails to care for while dealing with the other distractions that get progressively more difficult over time. Reminded me of my school days playing flash games which was a nice throwback for me. Thanks for sharing it, hope you do well in getting good feedback.

Very interesting yet simple game! :smile: A game doesn't need to be complex to be an enjoyable experience and this proves it :wink: Good job!

Even though it a little short I really enjoyed the vibe. The art style and sound effects really made me laugh. I can definitely you had fun making this. And on top that I was able to win. Mind you it being really easy since all I had to do was continue holding down the mouse even when something blocked the view. Not sure if that's a bug or not. Overall really cool game!!

Cute little game, nice sound effects nice mechanic of having to know where each thing needs to be pressed, doughboy got poked in the eye first though. Sprites were unique and charming.

The humor in this game is great, the art and sound effects really tie it all together. It did unfortunately feel a bit too easy. You can just keep clicking in one place even if someone walks in front of the button which was unexpected. Still had fun. Very good job!
