It even made me a bit angry... Well done

This was a pretty amusing entry. It looks amazing, and plays well for the rather simplistic concept it has. Looking at some of the distractions the player has to deal with, what the heck kind of work are they doing? Really, the game-

Ok uh I should get back to work and stop playing all these games.

This is a brilliant simulation of my (I daresay most people's) every day. Polished, smart and fun. Great work, wonderfully meta :)

Out of the 20 or so games I've played so far for this LD, this is my favorite. The concept of making a game of being distracted at work is genius - and amazingly the game itself is simple, fun and extremely attractive.

Really vitally! Cool!

The distractions were frustrating to get rid of... true to life! :) Good use of the challenge theme.

Fun and simple. Could be a bit longer though. Great job.

Interesting idea, this game make a great distraction in work :)

Amazing ! Extra good stuff !

reverso13 2013-04-30 13:10

Great job! It seems real life haha

bobiniki 2013-04-30 13:42

Oh god that was so fun. Great job. I like how minimalistic your game is. It entertained me a lot and the graphics are good too. You have found good sounds in freesound. Overall good game.

Beautiful. All work is done! Very clever.

sonnybone 2013-04-30 14:05

Nice innovative concept and GREAT execution. Very pleasing visuals and it really did feel like I was being horribly distracted. JUST LET ME HOVER MY MOUSE OVER THIS KEYBOARD, YOU STUPID UNHINGED WINDOW AND ODD LITTLE ELECTRIC DEVICE THAT IS WAY TOO CLOSE TO MY WORK SPACE!!!

zappi 2013-04-30 14:06

A very interesting idea! I'm straight missed the good old modem after your game! Steep concept!

degtyarev 2013-04-30 14:09

Realistic distraction simulator! Getting things done was hard just like in real life. Good Job! Great concept and implementation!

brookman 2013-04-30 15:45

I like your approach to the theme very much. It is a simple, minimalistic game, but comes with nice retro graphics. Also, working in a bif office environment, this entry somehow mimics my work day... Just get sh*t done and don't get distracted ;) I like it very much. Tom

Great game. Everything comes together so nicely, the crisp graphics, the sound, the electrical... device (what is that by the way? I want one!)
One of the best games I've played.

geepit 2013-04-30 17:36

Really nice!

seconddimension 2013-04-30 21:23

At first I wasn't sure what I was meant to do but after a few attempts I really liked it. Great idea.

cakencode 2013-05-01 00:23

I actually played this while I was supposed to be doing work. It was a fantastic distraction. Also super funny, two people were watching me play and we all died. :) Looks very pretty, great job!

sharbelfs 2013-05-01 01:32

I hate the modem. But I love the idea.

psychomonster 2013-05-01 02:00

Great Game... remembers me for my job :P

gfm 2013-05-01 04:19

Why won't you 'guys' let me do my work? >_<
xD

I really liked this.
It felt like I was in a office with everything distracting me.

uncade 2013-05-01 18:29

Awesome idea for a game! It was pretty frustrating, I'd love to play with more controls as well (incorporating keyboard strokes or something might make it even crazier). Great work!

tifu 2013-05-02 13:26

Cool idea... what on earth is that electrical device on the right? Dude, forget whatever you're typing, you seem to have a matter generator on your desk, patent that and make millions!
Game seemed to crash my browser (opera) when I won =/

pixelulsar 2013-05-03 00:46

Cool game. It was satisfying to get all my work done.

aquilicoco 2013-05-03 11:11

I have, as you say, too many LD distractions :)
Good work.

killedbyapixel 2013-05-03 18:31

Awesome work! It's kind of like an OCD simulator. I think you should make the distraction meter go down a little faster when all distractions are clear. I eventually won after a few trys.

mrexcessive 2013-05-06 15:43

Excellent... I am always trying to explain to those around me that I need peace and quiet and no distractions, not even nice ones like a PM from someone... Very Good Job!!

glbs 2013-05-06 19:14

Pretty difficult and intense, really funny, nice game!

f7f5 2013-05-11 16:50

What's all this crap on my desk, and why can't I just lock the window shut? :)
Excellent idea, had a lot of fun playing it.
