Nice game. Good art and music with simple but challenging game play!

Fun game! I was able to keep him awake but it was a struggle for sure haha. I really liked the coffee minigame - I wish that happened more often (or was like something I could just play as a mode).

Super engaging and fun idea!! I lost first time and managed to win on the edge second time!

Everything is very well made and polished, that's super nice!

I had a few issues reading the arrows in the coffee drinking phases, maybe there could be some modifications making them easier to read!

Overal very very solid and fun, congrats!!

That's a very cool idea and game. But damn, it is THAT hard! My man would have better chances to stay awake if he made any moves toward the girl instead ;)

awesome game! the art is great and the mechanics is straightforward and easy to understand, its a fun take on the "test your might" mini game and this has great replay value, my hands got numb with the mashing,  overall I enjoyed playing this game! congratulations! keep it up!

Developer

Thank you ironhandmd! Sorry about the numb hand - hopefully you managed to keep Joe awake!

This is great in theme interpretation! I like the gameplay options between arrow keys and then matching the keys. That's a great way to combine different gameplays. Overall, good job!

Thanks amie, it was a lot of fun to make! =D

Joe, you sleepy fool, stay awake!

Liked the game concept, especially the mini-game. Definitely on theme. It could have technically been called "Netflix and chill" as well :P

Developer

Haha love it. Thanks for playing, cavetowerstudios!

The game give you that flash game era vibe, which I really like.  The mechanics are simple enough but the button mashing part is too difficult for me, no matter how fast I mash, the bar keep going down haha.

Overall, pretty enjoyable game, I wonder what is the ending, I keep getting the game over screen haha. 

Developer

Thanks shi1ft15! Appreciate it!

Well good looking aretyle that fits the game. Good work on misic and sound effects too.
Didn't make it to full minute yet but will try again latter, when my fingers recover :D

Developer

Thanks bryengx - enjoyed the music in particular in your game too! good luck on the next go. hint: one pointer finger from each hand works best for me ;) good luck!

I really liked the coffee breaks and the art looks very good! I had a hard time in the regular game loop, but maybe it's my keyboard failing. 

Developer

Thanks for playing -- and hating the keyboard, not the game, eri0o - cheers! :)

Quite impossible to get his meter filled up by mashing, but I managed to keep him awake, even though I scored 0 on the coffe breaks. Fun to play, however not to play too much because that WILl hurt your fingers ;P


Developer

hint: try one pointer finger from each hand to mix it up and go even faster ;) thanks for playing, NjitRam!

Nice art and music. I like the music changes when Joe getting more and more sleepy in different stages. The coffee break is a like an pleasant surprise that makes the game more interesting! The game is simple yet polished. Though it is difficult for me to get to the end I only scored 20 sth.

Developer

Thanks for playing and appreciating the subtleties, bountyhat! cheers!

I loved it. I loved the artwork and the animation and the concept. Sadly, I couldn't keep Joe awake.

Developer
