what a great concept. the feeling of needing to go to the bathroom but being too hooked on the computer game is very relatable to me, and i like the difficulty of multitasking here. it definitely feels like trying to play a game but being constantly distracted.

unfortunately i was not able to get to the end of even one level. it seems like no matter what i do with the mouse i always fail within about 8 seconds. it's not very clear to me exactly what i need to be doing? my best guess (based on the visual feedback) is that the game is expecting me to continuously move the mouse in the given direction, but my desk is only so big. the help menu says that if i fail the direction changes, so i assume that each time the mouse direction changes it means i did it wrong?

I must admit to have neglected the fact that people might not have much desk space space to move the mouse on or using a touchpad
so the game might very well be impossible to beat under those circumstances.
Try to increase you mouse sensitivity in your pc settings if possible.

And yes if the direction changes and you hear a drip noise it means you where too slow with the mouse, you have to move it in the direction the arrow points.

I'll see if i can figure out a solution to the mouse space problem (i think using wasd and the arrow keys at the same time should present a similar challenge), but i'm gonna be busy for the foreseeable future so i can't tell when i get time to update the game.

i think i figured out the problem, maybe:

so if i do it using the trackpad on my laptop i am occasionally able to do the job. but i have to move my finger on it in a very particular way, something like in one big motion (although often my trackpad seems too small to actually do a big enough swipe).

with the mouse what appears to be happening is that the offset is "reset" in some way every frame, so the legs never actually move to the side--instead, they jitter in this weird way moving from the center out towards the direction in which i'm moving my mouse. so i can't actually manage to push them all the way to the side, even with the sensitivity turned up quite a bit. (like, i will physically move my mouse an entire foot and make no progress).

one factor that may or may not be compounding this is i know this computer sometimes runs games at up to 240 fps which could be maybe making things worse?

i'm somewhat new to the godot engine so i might have forgotten to press something to limit the frame rate, so that could be causing some issues as well.
