That was pretty epic, and probably one of the most fitting entries.
Success! You lasted 202.103 seconds - And I don't feel like I wasted even a milisecond, good work!
Hahahaha. The idea was funny enough in itself, but the blinking confession button was what made me burst out laughing.
I accidentally clicked on the JPG and stared at it for a wile before noticing I wasn't playing the game. =) The game is much better!
you're cheating, you're just a picture. Haha nice use of them, clever gameplay. I like it, although I do feel like you're kind of cheating this whole game development thing :P
Not really a game, per se.... But a brilliant entry, none-the-less. Love it.
LOL LOL LOL ! Seriously, another terrible idea turned into something great. Kudos!
Turns out it's really hard to laugh and not blink at the same time.
Best. Game. Ever.
Make him animated, do more sounds and release it on Steam! :D
Fantastic use of theme! Only suggestion is to maybe use video if you go for a larger release?
For me it's stuck on the loading sound screen even if I click on start anyway. Maybe my firefox extensions, but I enabled everything I could...
lol, well done. I wish this music played every time I had a staring contest.
Hilarious :) Would be cool to see some animation in the eyes, but overall, it does what it needs to. Clever.
Was pretty funny how the guy was yelling at me and even said how stupid I was to think he was programmed to blink, then actually blinked. Was really funny to play. Really nice job.
Hilarious game, very enjoyable. Maybe you should add an option to detect if the game loses focus (Like if you open another tab) and make that count as a blink.
Not sure how I should score you on innovation. On the one hand, staring contest must be the oldest game ever. On the other than, *it's on the internet*, and that was good enough to be called innovative in the 90's.
The background music makes it just perfect. I'm not sure how to rate graphics. :D just a joke.
i opened this game then during 'play' left and forgot about it for a bit... when i came back im pretty sure i saw the eyes get bigger....
Oh wow, you're brilliant. A single button? One image? Several lines of dialogue?

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
