About the Game

It was a normal day at work. But your text editor started to get pretty Unstable.



Hardwork Simulator is the perfect game for you to play at work, on the university computer, or any other time you just want to have fun! Play a game while everyone around you think you are working as hard as hell.

Sounds fun, right? But not everything will be fun. Angry stickmen try to unmask you while you smash your keyboard trying to reach the end of the document.
Kill Stickmen and keep the mouse pointers away from your text by dropping letters on them. But you have to be careful not to lose too many letters or you will face the Blue Screen of Death!

Secret features included!

Game developed for Ludum Dare Compo 49 (Theme: Unstable)
