5 Start, playing this game with two people is so hillarious
This really cool! The controls are really well done. Its interesting to see the combination of several different art styles layered within each other. Playing the game within the game within the game is really tricky but it is fun to try. I don't think I have ever done that before. Thanks for making this its really inspiring.
So I am playing a game about an office working playing a game about a fairy playing bomberman. Brilliant. The first thing I did was destroy my snowman.
This is the most amazing game ever. Amazing on all fronts!
Amazing! Awesome graphics and sound! Really fun game!!
I really love the game idea!
Great job
Coolest game I've played. So funny!!!!
Haha! I love how his hands start to shake.
Really great game idea - felt very stressed too!
Hahah, great use of the theme! I failed miserably though :P
Great game with a lot of humor :D Found the controls a little difficult at first but still awesome overall.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE SUPPORT! We didn't expect such a great response for our first ludum game. TY A LOT GUYS! KEEP BEING AWESOME! :D
BTW, if you found a bug, pls report it to us. We're working on fixing all of them :3
☃
Wow! Our games took a very similar angle on the theme. Yours is hilarious! :D Nice work!
So it took me a few plays to realize that this was a game.
In a game.
In a game.
lol!
Something weird happened the third time around and I couldn't quite play the frog game for some reason? Albeit, I was buzzing around like a hummingbird with ADD and we all know once the snowman explodes you've officially entered Office Hell. :)
@Taunia Sabanski It was just that you have to press one of the inner buttons in SCA to start Don't Eat The Bomb (the little frog game). And I love the term Office Hell, we should use it more xD
Well done, super hard and funny. Screen within a screen within a screen. Trying to explain this game to a friend nearby led to mass confusion and laughing.
Really cool idea.
Took me a minute to figure out I was also playing a game in the game in the game...
Fun. Love the little added things like the stuff on the desk you can play with.
Great graphics. Congrats!
Clever game and hilarious balance of frustration and sarcasm! Well done, oohing else I can think of to help critic.
Kind of hard to play, but I think that's a good thing in this case! Really hilarious and super meta. The stress management portion was really interesting and eventually I just succumbed to the pressure! Good job!
Game did not run from me from Newgrounds, Running OSX.
Tuism, are you sure that the game didn't run? It has no loading screen so it can take a while to load and while is loading you can only see a white screen :P
Really funny game! And the idea of a game inside a game it's awesome!
Ah ah, nice game. I really like how you treated the subject. :)
Brilliant! Such cool use of the theme! So many stars!
Quite a fun and frustrating game, though it really reminds me of the current trend of Simulator games. Just a note: it seems to run unplayably slow on Chrome, but it works perfectly on Firefox.
I couldn't figure out what to do in the adventure game. I found the hands hard to control (that may have been the point). I liked that I tried to exploit the squeeze toy (Snowman.... nice) and it popped hahaha. I like the concept and use of the theme!
Note, I almost didn't play your game because there's an ad in front of it. It's your game but I'm going to think a bit about whether that's in the spirit of LD.
masterhyjinx, we don't get any revenue from that ad, that's from Newgrounds, not from us.
best game I've played so far, 5 stars all the way, well done :D
Controlls felt really awkward. Great use of the theme though.
In the beginning it was not really clear what the goal is. Snowman is +1
Wow, that was so funny to play! I like this game very much!
Great job!
YO DAWG, YO LIKE CONTROLS SO I PUT CONTROLS INSIDE CONTROLS.
This is truly amazing, the amount of things and these controls are freaking amazing. On of the most original and well done entries i've seen so far. This game is a 5/5 on every single category out there. Srslly, great job.
Brilliant concept! good execution. overall, a job well done guys. keep it up. We are also a team of students first time in ludum dare, so i can say, i know how u feel bro :P
Idk what happened but it wouldnt start! And it looks so cool too.
:(
Our games are indeed very similar :D
But I think your game is much harder haha
Very slick graphics!
Nice audio!
I really like the drinking animation.
Overall very well done!!!

p.s.
KITTENS!!!!!!!!
I love it! The controls were a bit weird at first, but it wasn't too hard to get the hang of. Anyways, great job!
This is really cool :) It's pretty simple as there's only a few things to do, but it's good fun once you get to grips with the controls. Played it for a few runs and could still play more. :) Awesome entry OP, especially love the DickButt mug. A fellow Imgurite?
Liked the control scheme, nice job!
So much strangeness and fun, good work guys!
I liked it, was unsure how to play the computer game though.
I'm playing a game about someone playing a game about someone playing a game. Ok you got me there, this is so much fun !
I loved it .) I feel so good now after this glimpse into corporate madness... that I don't have to be part of...
Poor Snowy, though.
What a weird game. in a positive way. i really enjoyed playing.
You made stress fun out of 5.

I sympathize with this game world so much... I'm gonna go stare blankly out my window now.
Haha this is absolutely brilliant. What a great idea and an absolutely madcap game to play :)
Hahaha, well done! It is a very interesting/innovative meta-game!
so fun thanks for that
Very funny entry
Nailing the theme, and realizing (very nicely) a really impressive amount of content. This is just a very well constructed bit of fun. Nice work team!
Excellent game. It was honestly really funny and it breaks the fourth wall twice!
One of the best LD31 game I've played so far :)
just brilliant!
Fantastic work, 5/5 for theme and humor. :) Saw this on Taunia's stream a few days ago but didn't get a chance to play it until now. I love how it's frustrating to manage your frustration - it's fantastic how quickly the stress levels start increasing after a while of playing. One thing I should mention is that it might have been better to allow the left hand to stretch over to the arrow keys, but apart from that, Great job!
That was really funny and challenging...I almost wanted to smash my display too haha. Very good interpretation of the theme. Well done :)
This game is awesome! The graphics is cute and sound fit the environment. The idea of simulating computer screen also fit the theme quite well.
For some reason Space still does not work. It scrolls the page down, as a default behavior of the browser. The game itself is funny, the graphics are pretty. :)
Hahahaha that's stupid ^^ I liked it ^^
Sublime, best idea.
One of my favorite. I love the stress effects, it really adds to the surgeon simulator gameplay.
Good job! :D
Haha hilarious
Too..much...coffee. Sitting at a computer desk, playing a game about sitting at a computer desk, playing a game.. Why'd you have to go and get all existential on us?.. Love it!
Excellent entry, very original idea, one of the best I've played this LD! I like you can break the screen when you're too stressed to click :p
BTW, a ZQSD or arrows keys alternative to WASD would be nice for non-QWERTY keyboards owners ;)
haha what a great idea! I felt the stress, and you managed to convey that feeling extremely well! Very very nice mood! great job!
Great entry!
Well that was certainly one of the most stressful games I've played in a while. Well done.
Poor Snowman, he died :( them collection of LD themes was nice lol points for humor!
Pretty funny, the art and animation are perfect, amazing how much you communicate with the characters arms alone. Lots of little amusing touches. The game within a game within a game was probably just a touch too difficult for me personally, but I had fun with it. :)
i didn't found how to pick that f... phone!
The shaking hands were a good idea to felt the stress!
Very fun and good looking game!
Great job with the game-in-a-game-in-a-game. Really fun to play with, the sfx bring it all together :D Great job!
amazing entry, had much fun. Sometimes you have to wait pretty long until something happens
That was a mega LOL! Fit the theme!
WOW, just WOW! NeEd MoRe CoFfEe ^,^
Well, simply awesome! You blew my mind with this one. It's pretty hard, and fun, and everything feels so alive and you made me feel stressed like the character. hahah
Really funny game, trying to manage stress levels at work. Audio is brilliant, almost sounds like an actual office.
I had only one desire - to switch off monitor. Ok. Three: to switch off monitor, constantly to drink coffee and break snowman.)
Song for your game hero - Naiv "Obivatel" :) http://www.clipafon.ru/naiv/obyvatel-klip_b46027c91.html
Ok, this is crazy, it's good and messed with my brain a lot!! hahaha really nice
nice game...
whahah, this is amazing
Funny game, with nice graphics! Well done.
Wow, great use of the theme! I was expecting a cop-out with just a game on the screen but instead it was leveraged well! Nice work!
!!!
One of the best games i played this LD 10/10 GOTY would play again.
Clever unique entry that was really fun to play. Loved the graphics and playing the games within a game.
Great in humor, awesome graphics, nice audio, and great innovative game overall! Fit well with the theme. Good job!
hilarious fun stuff. Good use of the theme.
Haha)This is very funny concept)). Cool idea , but the management leaving much to be desired.
Amazing, it's incredible how hard a simple game can be with gimped controls and at the same time having to deal with all the other stuff thrown at you :)
For those who find this game too easy: play it while you're at work! :D
Best entry I've played so far by a long long margin.
Great job guys.
This is great! Love the art. I am not sure why playing a game about being stressed at work was so fun, but it was. I feel like it gets too stressed a little too fast though, but maybe that means I'm just a pretty zen person at work.
Amazing Idea for entire game on one Screen.. But Sometmes controls are stuck and not working..
This was alright for a little while, but it got to the point where the snowman's head burst, the computer screen was broken, and I was out of coffee - then it was completely oimpossible to get rid of stress. It felt like it was lacking content - there were a few games there, but none of them were really deep enough.
wtf! I punched my screen, now I can barely write, my eye is twicthinhshla jjdahaa VJa AAAARAFGGFGGFGFG
Interesting game, really fun. I Included it in part 20 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/SGfwL84KAH0
Really good fun. Lots of great details.
