Damn played that so hard my wrists start to hurt. Nice stress reliever, and you can also make the dude dance to music.
Ho-oh God... is this my life??
Haha how many does this take to win? My fingers hurt after 156..
I bookmarked it so I can use it at the suitable moment. :D
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?
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!
Fun to play, Good to look at. Although I would like to see more like hitting the book on the head.
AVGM comes to my mind after this. Only with diffrence that smashing head in TV is more pleasent than clicking a switch.
Dude you really shouldn't be doing that, you only get one head... ;)
Nice game!
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.
Wow this is soooooo adictive! A mobile version would be a hit! you should consider it ;) I loved it
haha ok he was looking like me after finishing the LD XD *sleeping on my tabel*
I kept playing to see if the table would break. My arm got tired before I found out.
Hahaha nice, but I think a smacking sound man, would be great !
HA! This made me laugh. Sometimes .. you just feel like banging your hand against things. Wouldn't change a thing about this game :D
"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!!
Good stress relief - need it after doing Ludum Dare ;) Wish you could interact with the items you get.
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.
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.
900 hits, I can't believe I went so far ^^ Nice compo, I like it !
Sound effects were realistic, dug the music too - nothing like some muzak to smash your face into a desk to. :D
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 :)
Interesting game, the graphics and humor were nice but im not exactly sure how it relates to the theme.
Nice entry though!
@Lacutis, you have to finish the game to find out what you only get one of...
*faceplant*
No kidding, this was a risky bet, but I loved it! Really cool in its simplicity and humor :)
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.
Nice animation. Inspiring.
It would be nice if players could smash in a more expressive way, and not just along the y-axis.
Can you actually win this? I played for about 100 hits, curious about the next items, but gave up after that...
Pretty funny, but not recommended for those with RSI. lol
Did 1056.
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?).
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.
Got past 1000, but my hands were hurting, so I stopped... lol
Got to 1000 hits. I feel I may have been ever so slightly skinner-boxed.
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)
I mashed my way to a thousand hits. Can't stop grinning at the graphics. I love the "please stop" sign :)
As others have said, great graphics. I definitely found enjoyment in bashing their head into the table repeatedly. :)
This game has a very unsettling atmosphere, round about the 50th faceplant and you think "might as well keep going!" :D
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.
Stopped at 1000... I think what we all need is a mobile version for whenever someone says something unbearably stupid.
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 :)

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline.

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