Stop The Watch by Calzone407
An evil robot is trying to make the watch move - it is your job to make the watch not move!
Just click on the clock to make it stop.
(pls use fullscreen! The Resolution is bad, but I ran out of time and it gave me a LOT of trouble Xd) EDIT:It seems that the Game needs to be at my own aspect ratio to work, which is 1366x768, i think i have fixed it, but my apologise if it doesn't work EDIT:I really feel like i don't know anyhting anymore, so whether or not to fullscreen depends i guess :shrug: I updated the game, so the not fullscreen should work now

Played fullscreen
I would have liked to have something to do while waiting for the robot to press the button (like the robot tells you stuff to distract you, or some random things), but hey time is limited in jams :)
Kudos
I'd maybe add another score to the game - amount of clicks, because the time seems a bit random - I might have had 30 robot clicks in a minute and I might have had 10 to deal with, but it was enjoyable nonetheless
btw, there is an option in itch to make the game automatically full screen when you click start, you can try that
A very simple concept that seems too simple when it is described to you. Initially I expected to play one game and then more on but it is compelling. You want to try again to beat your previous time rather than just give up in frustration.
Suggestions: it might help to have a countdown at the start. Currently you have to click the start button and immediately click the clock. This feels like you've lost time right away and could be frustrating.
Put the clock in the centre of the screen. This is the player's main focus.
Music that ramps up in tension the closer you get to 12 o'clock.
As with all jam games there is always some polish or balancing that can be done afterwards but getting a finished/workable game within the timeframe is the real goal. You achieved it.
Well done!
