Haha really addictive.. I'm kind of ashamed to say how far I got ;)
I'll check back once I can vote! :)

greatlordmocuto 2013-12-16 01:50

Damn played that so hard my wrists start to hurt. Nice stress reliever, and you can also make the dude dance to music.

theholychicken 2013-12-16 04:42

Ho-oh God... is this my life??
Haha how many does this take to win? My fingers hurt after 156..

linuus 2013-12-16 06:57

Haha still really fun.. rated!

jakub 2013-12-16 11:00

I bookmarked it so I can use it at the suitable moment. :D

inso 2013-12-16 12:12

Hahah I loved to facedesk this poor man, that was very funny ^^

joserodolfofreitas 2013-12-16 19:31

Very nice art and animation, but I didn't get the link with the theme.

btw, is it possible to use the items you get somehow?

joekinglake 2013-12-16 21:10

Very satirical.. ^^ I really like it, great commentary.

mckoss 2013-12-16 21:18

Having ads on your game is really annoying.

mckoss 2013-12-16 21:39

That's OK, @BradleySmith - I'm sure some game engines force you to publish with ads on their site? The worst part was having to be forced to watch a pre-roll ad before seeing any part of the game.

Thanks!

capitals 2013-12-16 22:54

Fun to play, Good to look at. Although I would like to see more like hitting the book on the head.

korwegian 2013-12-16 22:58

That guy is so damn squishy it makes me uncomfortable XD

tonasz 2013-12-16 23:01

AVGM comes to my mind after this. Only with diffrence that smashing head in TV is more pleasent than clicking a switch.

zebi24 2013-12-16 23:20

Dude you really shouldn't be doing that, you only get one head... ;)

Nice game!

zekyon 2013-12-17 01:25

Oh my god, the game is very grim, I felt as I was doing something bad when I played. The mood is very accomplished, good job.

hyde-wyvern 2013-12-17 02:26

Wow this is soooooo adictive! A mobile version would be a hit! you should consider it ;) I loved it

finefin 2013-12-17 08:00

hehehe really funny. poor guy hehehe.

the 2013-12-17 09:49

Ok, 201 hits are enough for me.

atridas 2013-12-17 18:56

Great, original game. Nice :D

atomicvikings 2013-12-17 21:41

haha ok he was looking like me after finishing the LD XD *sleeping on my tabel*

jaj 2013-12-17 22:00

I kept playing to see if the table would break. My arm got tired before I found out.

aaants 2013-12-17 22:35

Hah. That was wonderfully bizarre

ongaku 2013-12-17 22:36

Hahaha nice, but I think a smacking sound man, would be great !

bach 2013-12-17 22:37

HA! This made me laugh. Sometimes .. you just feel like banging your hand against things. Wouldn't change a thing about this game :D

mekuri 2013-12-17 22:44

"Please Stop" - I laughed lol. Did 1101, and got new items all the way up to 1000. My arms are sore now lol. This game is extremely funny, and has a very nice mood! Mobile version would rule! Great job!!

nazariglez 2013-12-17 22:49

Lol! it's a quite original game!

roguenoodle 2013-12-18 01:18

Good stress relief - need it after doing Ludum Dare ;) Wish you could interact with the items you get.

miltage 2013-12-18 09:28

Fun little game. Nice art style and music. I had a much easier time playing when I discovered you can drag his head up and down instead of clicking all the time.

madflame991 2013-12-18 12:05

It was funny and sad at the same time. It made me wonder how the coffee and all other stuff aren't thrown off the desk by your constant head smashing.

veiadoida 2013-12-18 15:24

that was funny!

sekaru 2013-12-18 17:00

Strangely addictive. Loved the graphics.

ghostinthesoft 2013-12-18 20:15

900 hits, I can't believe I went so far ^^ Nice compo, I like it !

johnnysix 2013-12-19 00:56

Sound effects were realistic, dug the music too - nothing like some muzak to smash your face into a desk to. :D

drprettypatty 2013-12-19 04:57

It kind of disturbs me how I started off timidly, gently, and uncomfortably pressing the guy's face into the desk, then by the time I got to 200 points I was smashing away without a care in the world haha. Great job, I got a laugh out of it :)

drkrunk 2013-12-20 14:40

Poor guy. Reminds me of myself in Physics class. Good job.

lacutis 2013-12-21 08:40

Interesting game, the graphics and humor were nice but im not exactly sure how it relates to the theme.
Nice entry though!

blazingfanfish 2013-12-22 10:29

Stop at 1016. Pretty fun lol :)

bradleysmith 2013-12-22 22:04

@Lacutis, you have to finish the game to find out what you only get one of...

yosh 2013-12-23 03:17

*faceplant*

No kidding, this was a risky bet, but I loved it! Really cool in its simplicity and humor :)

vanaficionado 2013-12-23 04:07

My arm hurts....BAD.... 18,543, 13 hours. I stopped to take a break 8 times. My wife and kids left me, they don't understand my passion for this simulator. I plan to keep playing until my wrists bleed. Its just so.... consuming... like every time I smash his face, I find another piece of the shattered remains of what once was my soul but now lies blackened on the ground of my proverbial body. The game has become an exosphenical manifestation of desire. Up, Down. Up Down. Up, Down.

mase 2013-12-23 04:57

Nice animation. Inspiring.
It would be nice if players could smash in a more expressive way, and not just along the y-axis.

job_ 2013-12-23 09:31

*slam* *slam* *slam* NEW ITEM! *slam* *slam* *slam*

ddrkirbyisq 2013-12-23 09:48

*flips table*

nelien 2013-12-23 23:15

Can you actually win this? I played for about 100 hits, curious about the next items, but gave up after that...

rezzish 2013-12-24 04:35

game of the year

archaeometrician 2013-12-24 22:01

Hahah funny game ;) Good job !

davisan 2013-12-24 23:39

Pretty funny, but not recommended for those with RSI. lol
Did 1056.

local-minimum 2013-12-26 17:22

I was a bit skeptic to start, but after a while when it became clear that the protagonist was I and that I was banging my head against the table, then I think it worked. I would have liked to be able to interact with some of the things popping up, but maybe that would have defeated the purpose of the game. 500 hits down I decided to save my wrist for some other games (maybe add an auto-hit button after say 100 hits so that one can watch it play out?).

christina-nordlander 2013-12-29 14:33

Gah, I feel sorry for the poor guy.

Very good graphics and nice elevator music. Figuring out how to gain points was fun, but there wasn't really enough challenge or reward to keep me going for long. Still, very well made.

tex-killer 2013-12-31 16:42

Got past 1000, but my hands were hurting, so I stopped... lol

postmodestie 2013-12-31 17:45

brutal! :)

cappelnord 2014-01-04 17:42

LOVE IT.

xgeovanni 2014-01-04 18:27

Got to 1000 hits. I feel I may have been ever so slightly skinner-boxed.

van-noctar 2014-01-04 21:51

Very good art! :D

shellfishgames 2014-01-04 22:31

Ha, great, well done. Satirical indeed. :D

rincewind_cz 2014-01-04 23:33

Ok.. I should be studying Turing machines, complexity theory and hundreds of lemmas for Monday's exam... You probably really good know what I'll be doing at Monday... :-D (it's sad actually)

sebastian 2014-01-04 23:34

I mashed my way to a thousand hits. Can't stop grinning at the graphics. I love the "please stop" sign :)

nyrrrr 2014-01-04 23:52

I play it way too long...^^

pjchardt 2014-01-05 04:23

As others have said, great graphics. I definitely found enjoyment in bashing their head into the table repeatedly. :)

unusualcadence 2014-01-05 11:56

This game has a very unsettling atmosphere, round about the 50th faceplant and you think "might as well keep going!" :D

foul 2014-01-05 13:10

This is really an unbreakable table lol :D It's funny to get stuff but it feels like something is missing, like effects on the tv, or some updates on the character. There is a mid frame when bradley is shaking - could be a feature.

vikinggames 2014-01-06 02:00

Stopped at 1000... I think what we all need is a mobile version for whenever someone says something unbearably stupid.

supremefist 2014-01-06 07:05

Nice one, hehe! Liked the music a lot :) Got to about 100!

kwl_tw 2014-01-06 14:25

This is so crazy but fun!

ultravisitor 2014-01-06 23:26

This is one of the darkest games in the compo. The hand illustrated animation is really effective. The mouse control is nicely done as it allows for different types of interactions to trigger the hit -- I found it quite intuitive. I only found one issue where the hit animation gets caught between two states. I found it a little stressful to play so I had to stop :)

emmelineprufrock 2014-01-07 01:50

Poor facedesk man. But super cute.
