I got nervous man. It was game over man, game over. My hand were shaking.

Wow that's hard as nails XD I got pretty far with a trackpad but after a certain point I had to give up. The polish is fantastic, and it feels great to play. Good work! congrats :D

I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with Mark that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.

My mouse dexterity is poor but I still enjoyed the game. Now I'm imagining playing this with a wiimote lol

Very fun and cool! Also neat that it was designed to bully me specifically as someone who has the shakiest hand this side of the hemisphere. Hope you feel good about making ME feel bad. 10/10

Big yes for me, I really dig this kind of game. after many years, finishing the World's Hardest Game has finally paid off ! Good audio, good design, I love the small resolution, the challenge and the level design. Everything is so sharp and consistent. Good job !

Really fun & difficult game. The aesthetic of the game was really well done & polished.

Doesn't bring alot new mechanically to the classic World's Hardest Game-style format, but it doesn't need to -  It's very refined in both look and feel so gets big style points. Much prefer a shorter, polished project (like this) that knows when to wrap it up than an long, aimless one! Great work.

Really enjoyed the aesthetics! I was able to cheat some of the levels by alt+tabbing and moving the cursor somewhere else (though it seemed to only work sometimes). I had a great time with this one, good job!

I played this on stream (video here), if you’re interested in watching someone play through some of the levels.

Super nice! I wish you make it full game! I wish you can win

Simple but super fun! Really liked the level designs, especially the final level. Love the glitchy hacker aesthetic.

This should be getting more attention. You made an amazingly dynamic and fun game, congrats!

The style is immaculate, random code in the background, bit counter tiles, AWESOMMEeE

Great stuff. The music, the gameplay. I also liked that there is absolutely no buttons needed, no "press r to restart" no "you died now press 20 different confirms for one more 4 seconds try", just your mouse and a loop 

Submitted(+1)

This is  absolutely INCREDIBLE. I love everything about it. And it's sooo smooooth!

Addicting and frustrating at the same time. Great music.
