  • Mouse over circles to keep staring
  • Click either mouse buttons to hold back a sneeze
  • Press spacebar at the right time to slurp up snot

Very catchy! Handling 2 circles at once was too much for me :D.

I love the visuals on your game. It took me a while to figure out that you need to hover your mouse over the circles. Fun game, great art, good job!

Perfect hit on the theme and a very original combination of reaction mechanics! Here is my attempt:

I love the art! I enjoy the simplicity of everything, though man is it hard to get very far lol. I think the hardest part is the "slurp strength" which I felt like I could never get quite right and stole my focus a little too much from the other pieces.

Great work!

Amazing use of the theme! The graphics are simple, but are really good. The gameplay is pure caos, but kept me wanting to try again every time.

Graphics are amazingly well done! Everything is crisp and fluid, and well animated!
The only thing I can say that it could have done with audio, but considering the subject matter, perhaps not...

The artwork drew me to the game and I liked having to balance the different tasks. Really fun use of the the theme, and the only thing that I wished for was music and sfx :)

Great art and fun gameplay. My only problem was that I would always lose at exactly 8 seconds (this was probably me not understanding something though). Overall, creative and clever game. Great job!
