Well, Mike ran in to problems getting ldjam.com working properly with about 12 hours left in the Compo, so this is the backup plan.
One room is a class. Now the beginning of the lesson. You have to put the students in their places.
Use only mouse.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! I can hear them in my head, screaming and shouting !!! Nightmares !!! But cool game though ! Although, I encountered a bug where kids disappear from the room, making the level impossible to finish. Although, good work !
Thank you. I think this is due to the high speed bullet behavior. I will try to fix it.

As a teacher i can say that this is the best way to organize the students and the same bug that jusw85 comented happened 2 time with me.
Pretty solid game. Challenging and engaging, one moment everything is fine and you have only one walking student and two seconds later it's pure chaos.
BTW is level with 9 desks the last one? I can't get past it, even with all students sitting.
Pretty brilliant. I've always thought herding was a fruitful domain for games, and yours proves it. It's fun! Gets awfully hard even with just 6 students, but it's a great design.
Fun game, though it got a bit frustrating when I got to level 4. One single loose kid can mess up everything.
It was pretty nice :-)
I must say, I like what you did with the theme, and the game itself was a fair bit challenging, despite the simple idea.
However, it could be improved with cues as to when a student will get up from their chair, like if you had a very small timer on top of their heads so you know where to focus your attention.
Also, I have no idea what happened, but on the very first level one of the children completely disappeared, and yet I was still able to finish the level somehow. Don't know if it just wasn't rendering, or if the game just decided they no longer existed, but either way was definitely confusing.
Overall quite fun for the game.Just that, there is no strategy needed to control the mouse cursor, i just have to ensure my mouse cursor move faster and ensure my mouse cursor has ran through the whole screen then you would complete the game.
Lol, the game is rough, but that is a cool idea. You should definitely work more on this, get some timings, maybe make the student's walks more interesting, etc.
On another note, this teacher should probably be arrested for child violence :-P
Fun concept but super frustrating. The game seems like it requires more luck than skill. I think that the only way to unseat a student was to hit a student into the seat the game would be much more manageable. Right now it’s impossible to keep students seated because every time you hit a student they all get unseated. The mechanics are there for a fun game.
Cute! The students bounces are sometimes a bit unpredictable, but I guess that's the challenge of the game.
Great concept! Maybe tone the speed down a bit, it is a bit hard to react to students and make precise deflections at this pace.
Suprisingly fun! But oh dear these students can be annoying!
Few times had students going offscreen otherwise *thumbs up*
Well, that's kinda fun to play some kind of pinball/breakout with students, yet difficult as they keep leaving their places.
Btw, I think you should do something about your English. No offense.
Good idea. Please add improved graphics. BTW game isn't loading from entry but loading only from URL.
I think this captures the frantic classroom setting pretty well! Went from terribly difficult to trivially easy when I just decided to swing my mouse all around the screen like crazy.
Oh man! This is a little gem :) haha Ive never been so frustrated as when I have all desks full but one little kid running around who knocks out another then in seconds they are all out again!
Very clever idea, I really like what you did- Ive never seen a game use this mechanic quite the same way before. Excellent work.
Thank you all for your feedback and comments. And sorry for my english.
I would say the best way of describing it is simple but effective :) Good job!
The chain reactions that happen are nice, when you only have one student left and they bump one, and they bump one and... This is a good case where I'm almost happy that there isn't sound effects, especially for students bumping into things.
I feel like the overall gameplay could be tweaked and tightened up a little more. I feel like I can just wiggle the teacher around and that I don't have much control over the game. Also I think some work might need to be done on what layer each object is on, as of right now the teacher goes under the desks.
Nice game overall and it captures how frantic children are pretty well.
Man, the frustration to get those kids back to their chair. Now I know what it likes to be a teacher.
Fun game!
Audio and some feedback effects would have helped make it feel a bit more satisfying.
Its nice to see some original ideas being used, sweet concept based on the theme of the jam.
this is pretty cool! the art needs some work but the concept is the most original I have seen yet! good job!
Really frustrating, but funny idea :D
The students moved perhaps a bit fast to be controllable, though it made me laugh when I had only one student to sit down and a small chain reaction later, everyone was running around :D
Nice concept, could use some sound for better effect. Had a bug where some students dissapeared which made it so I could not finish.
Neat idea, fits the theme, graphics could be better. Little buggy here and there.
I enjoyed it! I like the concept, never played anything like this before. On the level 3 there was a bug with kids disappearing, so I could not finish the level. Good job!
Weird idea, but really fun!
Students knocking the other students out of their seats was kind of frustrating, though, it added to the difficulty :P
Does anything happen once you beat the game? I'm not sure if I won or got stuck.
I was a teacher for some minutes until the game broke but it was cool enough to make feel good. I know how to sit children now.
I wouldn't like it if I were that techer. Cool and simple game! I had the bug that many users have commented about, too though.
Easy concept, funny, relaxing but on the same time a bit challenging to play, well done!
This shall forever live in my nightmares. Great game, it was really hard! I couldn't get past the third level.
This is crazy. More than those air-bubble puzzles from the 80's
As others said, it's possible to lose a kid, or to bounce two kids into one table.
I'll never be a teacher! ;) Cool game! Improve it and I think this could be really neat.
I didn't want to stop playing this game, even though it was super hard! The fact that the kids can bounce each other out of their seats is hilarious, and challenging! I really wish there had been some kind of zaney music to go along with this, but it was fun even without it!
Haha, this is hilariously good fun! Such a simple mechanic but so joyously frustrating to play! I'm a teacher myself and I have to say that this is a pretty accurate simulation... :)
Great work!
I had fun bouncing the students around, but ran into the bug where someone flew off screen and I couldn't continue.
That gets so hard SO fast! I think this game is pretty alright, I just wish I had more exact control over where the students will go, but maybe the lack of that control is by design. Overall I think this a nice goofy/fun game. Good job with the entry!
Pretty neat game, I think some of the students either occupied the same spot or disappeared at times.
Really fun. I like the way it scales up, crazy by the last level. How do i reach these kidsss?

Blurring the line between game and actual dealing with small children simulator. Cute game! :D
Very addictive! Just when you almost get the last couple, the first ones are running around again. I love the idea, and it is quite compelling for something so simple. Nice entry!
Hey, I liked your game it was actually fun.
You can improve the audio and the graphics at some point but overall not bad!
And please go and try out my game!
Nice concept! I got the feeling that two students sometimes could sit at the same table, but not sure.
Interesting idea, but at some point I feel like all I was doing is just passing randomly through the room. Maybe some kind of power-up or changing the mechanic a little bit would make it better. Good work!
lloooooooooooool, srsly how did you think about it ??
oh and you might want to fix the web frame in this page cuz it doesn't work atm (had to click the web link) :x
Think I ran into some bugs where some of the students flew out of bounds preventing me from completing a level but it's a pretty interesting take on a herding game plus I find it amusing how you can whack the students about like a hockey puck.
Surprisingly fun but a bit too random for my taste. And the bigger the room (the more tables and students), the more random it gets :D
But you got a cool idea, and I'm sure adding gameplay variations you could get a really addicting game!
Nice work :D

I had a bug where one of the students flew out of the screen and I couldn't complete the level =( Otherwise it's a pretty fun game! I liked that students could knock others out of place even if they were already seated.
