LudumData

Monday by gimbalock

[raw]
made by gimbalock for Ludum Dare 49 (COMPO)

Monday... what is unstable? Is it the guy in the office? Is it his work? Is it his computer? Is it your computer? Is it my game? Even if my game crashes, it still fits the theme, great!

The game is simple. You get more and more buttons to click. Unclicked buttons, or wrong buttons produces stress. Don't let the stress level get over 500. This game has been made to work in desktop browsers and on android phones.

This is my second time using Stencyl for Ludum Dare, and my first time using Aseprite. Despite having a four week old baby in the house and plans all sunday, I still wanted to see what I could make in only 24 hours. This is the result. It's not much but I'm still proud of the finished compo. I wanted to have made more sfx, but time was up, and diapers were calling.

Hope you enjoy my entry to Ludum Dare 49!

Fun little clicking game, I like the 'don't click yes' trolling. Nice work for 24 hours.

I really enjoyed that game over animation.

very cool idea for the theme unstable, I managed to get a score of 105 using laptop's trackpad so it's a bit harder than a mouse

Good job, nice idea with the stress level and especially good job to get a game in even though you have a little baby around - I can relate, it is very difficult to find time isn't it? :)

I love the take on unstable. This is me, pressing buttons all day, some annoying me more than others

fun clicking game, the sounds almost form a song that I loved. Maybe if possible have as an option to use the buttons or functions assigned to the keyboard, would be less stressfull on the wrist.

This was stressful! Was really fun and the feedback you get from each click is really nice!

Such a cool little game and really impressive given your constraints! The scaling is really nice and I love the ideas of puzzles you came up with. THUMBS UP!

This is the most annoying game i have played during this Ludum Dare and i think you should be proud of that :D

Loved it! The click tasks where intuitive to understand immediately but still made me freak out and fail sometimes. And that moment where I realized that I have to do simple math while clicking the other buttons was funny as hell.

This was an interesting little game. I think you succeeded in your goal, getting me stressed out. I managed to get a total of 142 points in the end, which I am pretty happy about. Great job on this game, I really enjoyed the animation where he smashed the computer to bits in the end.

You just haddd to go and bring math into my monday morning eh (just kidding, I love math >.>) BUT OMG, I actually love this so much haha. It's really fun and it gets challenging near the end.

It's also super realistic in terms of stress on mondays, so extra points for that haha. Really good job for completing it in 24 hours!! I love the idea overall, and the actually gameplay is kinda whack a mole-y.

The only real issue I had is the tone for the single circles, it was a bit hard on the ears, which I think having a volume slider could have fixed, but time \o/ Great job!!

Great entry! This was really fun and became almost musical. Impressive given the time constraint. Keep on making games!

Nice work, man, especially due the circumstances. Cool mouse killer with the loud (yet mute) unstable scream!

Great idea and executed well! I liked the sound effects that you used and you captured the feeling of things spiraling out of control perfectly. Looking forward to what you make in the future!

This was beautifully stressful! I had a lot of fun with this one. Very well made and new things to click are creeping up on you so slowly, you forget to realise that you cannot possibly deal with them all, but you just keep clicking. Very original and amusing!
