Game crashes if I click and drag on a cookie. Not 100% repro but pretty consistently the second time I do it.

mtinkerhess: That's not a crash, that's the game ending because you ate two cookies! I didn't have time to put in a game over screen, it was so down to the wire.

You can't move cookies, only your work stuff. You have to work around the cookies.

Oh gotcha! I should have read the description on this page before into the game. I like how you can move stuff around on the desk, this feels almost like I'm back at work.

I liked it! It is strange how such a simple mechanic can in fact evoke some of the sensation of trying to focus on work while permanently being tempted to do something else, and as the compulsion unconsciously grows, it becomes increasingly more difficult to work. Not sure if that is what you meant, but it really reminds me of the god damned Twitter and Facebook tabs tempting me as I try to focus on coding or something.

Also, this is one of the most 'cost-effective' designs I've seen in this LD! With a very small amount of technology and assets, you managed to conjure a rather unique theme. I've rated you better than several system-heavy games! This game is almost a manifesto against the feature creep. haha

Great job!
