That was a really fun little game, Props :)

brian-corr 2013-04-29 07:13

AWESOME use of the theme. A little too short for my taste, though! Lots of fun.

chobrah 2013-04-29 07:18

Haha simple and cool, nice one.

anjack 2013-04-29 14:11

Excellent expression of the theme!

binary_girl 2013-04-29 14:12

i liked it.. bit too short for me ..leaving me wanting more tho is a good thing :)

krise20 2013-04-29 14:13

That was really enjoyable. Even thought it was a little short. but awesome! good work!

kreddor 2013-04-29 14:51

Very innovative game, but hated those annoying distractions ;)
Good job :)

techmonkey 2013-04-29 14:52

Nice simple game, why did I want to eliminate myself in the end scene?

jlm 2013-04-29 16:19

Very nice. I loved it. A bit short... but that might be a good thing.

johnfn 2013-04-29 16:41

That was fun! That last level was stressful haha. The first time I was like 1 second too slow. Circle circle collisions are messy! I liked it though.

free_napalm 2013-04-29 17:05

I love the controls, I would like to see a full blown RPG with a similar battle system.
On the other hand, a game about getting rid of distractions sounds like a ... Oh, excellent title.

sir_json 2013-04-29 17:05

Clever use of the theme!

merkoth 2013-04-29 17:05

I really needed a few deep breaths, hehe. Looks pretty clean, it's fun and fits with the theme. Good work!

kannas 2013-04-29 17:05

a very relaxing game, just what i needed now. you pretty much represented the mental state that i have when i study :S

nseward 2013-04-29 17:07

Fun, Simple, Cool! Great job.

adonaac 2013-04-29 17:07

@techmonkey: holy shit I did EXACTLY the same thing. Then I got into this long argument with myself about how I am the biggest distraction in my life... ;_;

Anyway, neat game for the amount of time you put into it. The level with arrow distractions was not so clear because sometimes they would be removed and sometimes they would loop over the screen.

dick_claus 2013-04-29 18:27

Too short on my opinion.

lizzip 2013-04-29 20:03

Interesting concept and well made

sparkleswirl 2013-04-29 21:07

Cute little game. Just the perfect length.

gokuhd 2013-04-29 21:32

Cool idea! I like the art too, simple but good.

thevideogamemechanic 2013-04-29 21:33

Very simple and innovative idea! I like it.. You managed to keep it very minimal as well, too bad it was minimalistic in length. :(

thomastc 2013-04-29 21:38

Not bad for 3 hours!

stromchin 2013-04-30 02:27

Those damned distractions!

galvesmash 2013-04-30 03:35

Cool game, great idea! Sometimes the distractions get rid of herself!

cwilloughby 2013-04-30 05:20

I like it. Some of them are a bit frustrating. Really wanted audio. Graphics and narrative are good!

arrogant-gamer 2013-04-30 05:25

Distraction is an elegant and simple distraction. It felt like the tutorial for a game.

ncgames 2013-04-30 06:19

nice and simple

omaromeir 2013-04-30 06:21

Nice little game, I liked it! It can be expanded into a full, cool game :).

qdowngames 2013-04-30 06:42

Quite fun and quite simple. Loved it!

norritt42 2013-04-30 07:37

Wow nice game. In the end I even tried o eliminate my self and the end text. :) You got me in a mind set.

cheshyr 2013-04-30 12:37

I was amused. :-)

realyuniquename 2013-04-30 14:20

Too easy. Good work for 11 hrs

lotusgame 2013-04-30 15:53

I like the minimalist approach of the gameplay. Graphics could be more colorfull ^^ Well done :)

prelucid 2013-04-30 21:36

Distractions ELIMINATED!

nyyman 2013-04-30 22:20

Very good. Simple and well working, and most importantly fun to play. Kinda short though.

umu 2013-05-01 00:43

I was extremely distracted by the word "Bigfoot" in big yellow letters.

That was a cute thing. It has some potential, though I don't know how it could be expanded (or if you want to). Good work!

Making objects that move in such a way as to irritate the player is one of the top 10 most fun things to do as a designer.

lightnarcissus 2013-05-01 01:11

Simple concept but well conveyed. Giving it top marks for the theme purely because of that!

dreamlogician 2013-05-01 01:31

Short but sweet, and I think the brevity is appropriate given the minimalism theme. I always like the idea of trying to represent a concept or point of view via dynamic behavior and interactive rules, and this serves as a concise example of such techniques.

I do wonder if the explanation sentences are maybe just a bit too explicit about what's going on? This is just personal preference, but I think I would prefer text that left a little more space for my own interpretations while still hinting at the theme. Overall, nice work!

iamorim 2013-05-01 02:03

Good work! But we need more levels. There are a lot of interesting thins you can add to it. Keep working :)

komradus 2013-05-01 02:47

Conveys an interesting message.

hybridmind 2013-05-01 02:49

Cool little game. I liked all the different varieties based around the same little shoving mechanic. I also like the very iconic style to the graphics.

whitetigle 2013-05-01 07:37

I really enjoyed your game. It was neat. Clear. Precise. Worked well and did fit the theme. Too sad it was so short though.

kgs0142 2013-05-01 08:01

Why do I think of my dog when I played this game lol.
Interesting idea!
Good job :P

meta87 2013-05-01 08:05

great concept and you made it fun nice job!

drabiter 2013-05-01 11:46

Great concept. You should make more levels!

kimau 2013-05-01 12:39

Brilliant clean and simple, fits the theme and it just feels clean and fun with no wasted effort. Top notch ^_^

kiwiboi 2013-05-01 13:03

Well done sir, it definitely fits the theme perfectly. Pretty fun as well! ^^

roguenoodle 2013-05-01 13:23

Cool - I'm a master distraction eliminator! Now I can get back to work... ;)
A great concept well-executed.

euske 2013-05-01 13:39

Gaaah, that round one was annoying.

diamonde 2013-05-01 13:50

Very interesting and clever. I got surprisingly frustrated on the last level and was glad it was over :D
Pretty cool game overall and I like the fact that it took only a few seconds to grasp the concept!

cherrynukacola 2013-05-01 14:05

Woohoo, I'm a master eliminator! Wish I was this good at getting rid of distractions in my real life. ^_^

invaderjim 2013-05-01 14:15

Nice and clean. Now that we're all master distraction eliminators the next LD should be AMAZING!

revelorenfield 2013-05-01 14:20

Nice and clean game, too bad it's not as easy to get rid of distractions in real life :(

mesene 2013-05-01 15:02

There was no challenge :( just like mine xD
Nice entry, I wish it ended with some survival with all the enemyes classes together.

brotherst 2013-05-01 15:18

Very nice! Clean and simple.

karlin 2013-05-01 15:32

Really nice idea, fits the theme perfectly. I really liked how each level had something new and my only complaint was that it was a little short.

crazi456 2013-05-01 16:58

Fits the theme perfectly, was very enjoyable!

bentog 2013-05-01 18:30

Innovative, good run on the theme. I would like to see more levels and some audio :)

kill0u 2013-05-01 22:09

The physics are wicked; nice entry! Too short however.

grouflon 2013-05-01 22:21

I've got a mitigated felling about this game. I mean, the design is quite good, the physics is quite good too, the story telling is funny... but there's absolutely no chalenge. This is not a bad game, but what the point of it?

tozy 2013-05-01 23:25

great game! too short

eedok 2013-05-02 02:30

Neat idea, would prefer to have free over indexed movement though, and the game got stuck on the level with the timer(kept moving down and couldn't do anything else)

jceipek 2013-05-02 04:28

Interesting take on the theme, but the level design seems more like a heavily architected tutorial explaining the nature of distractions than a full game about them. Should this entry have had an ending at all? Distractions have a nasty habit of being endless.

Great work considering the amount of time you spent.

messiano 2013-05-02 04:39

Truly unique, great concept and execution. Too bad it was too short, I felt like playing more. Congratulations!

nilstastic 2013-05-02 18:10

Nice and simple!

rafaelsales 2013-05-02 19:13

Cool game. Congratz!

granada 2013-05-02 19:25

Nice representation of when we need to do something and lots of distractions keep bugging your mind. Amazing!

axcho 2013-05-03 05:06

Reminds me a bit of IvoryDrive's game Orange... Did you ever play that?

fullmontis 2013-05-03 09:54

Really like it! Fun little concept.

smilingcat 2013-05-04 17:28

Sometimes you just have to get pushy with your distractions. Good job!

oatsbarley 2013-05-05 15:20

Really short but a cute idea. Definitely an issue very close to my heart! Nice job.

cosinep 2013-05-14 23:59

This is Rachel's son. I like the game, it's a great take on the theme (there are few that start out less-than-minimalist and end up moving towards minimalism).

purplescape 2013-05-20 22:11

It's short, but funny and so true. Good work!
