A little Nerd-Simulation(ok, basicly it's a game of skills).

Short, funny and with a global highscore (klick the submit score button on the Game Over Screen).

This was my first ludum dare and my first game ever!

Sorry no web applet - couldn't do it in time, but i will try to deliver!

If you have problems with game, pls insall java 7, if the problem persists send me an email with the error, os + java version

Baaaaaaaaaaaaad kitty! :D

Really loved this! More complex than it looks on the surface, controlling your playstyle with the coffee, nice bit of gameplay tension there. I would assume more coffee makes the score gain/loss higher? The highscores made me want to play more, hehe, but are they even real?

Interesting game lol, I managed to get about 20,000 on my second attempt.
Not sure if I'm entirely buying that global highscores thing XD
Death to Jeoffrey!

Hey, the Highscores are real, but the Submit Score think on the Game Over State is a Button^^

Ahh can't believe I missed that! Played it again, 22k :)

Very interesting game, I wish I had the ability to read the speed-bubbles when focusing on the internet-coffee-barometers.

So the global highscores is real? Damn you, I was doing good but got a phone call.

Nice job, this game requires 100% concentration from the player. I can't wait till someone makes a bot or floods the high scores :D (I would tune down the sound effect volume a lot, the soundtrack is too low when compared to the effects. +1 for autotracker)

Simple and humorous. I played it through and will play again. Nice touch with the high score list and the commentary as you play.

The game was weird, simple mechanic and yet effective. Didn't really think it fit the theme that well (Minimalistic != Minimalism).

Overall a positive score.

Great stuff, I initially (stupidly) skipped the instructions but figured out what to do quite quickly. Some really funny bits in there, enjoyed it a lot :)

You don't mess with the internet!

I don't know why (or maybe I do :P) this game makes me think of Amiga :P

Looks like a fun game, it's a shame the Linux version won't run.
Getting this error: http://pastebin.com/TwH2CUta
I'll check back in a bit to see if there's any fix.
Good luck :)

Funny. Yes it does work with openjdk7 under Linux (though I got a crash at the end.)
ThirteenWB29 Apr 2013, 17:03
Nevermind about my previous comment, I just downloaded the source and compiled it myself with no problems whatsoever.
This was actually really fun, I have no idea whether my score of around 7000 or so is any good :p
It's a shame it didn't work the first time, not sure how many people would be patient enough to compile it themselves in order to play. Definitely worth it though, my favourite so far :)

@ThirteenWB, tested it on 2 linux pcs, both working... which distribution are you using? thx for your compliment and your patience

if you have problems with game, pls send me an email with the error, os + java version

@ThirteenWB, you should be able to play the game if you install java 7 (i compiled it with java 7, so its not playable with 6 or lower)
ThirteenWB29 Apr 2013, 19:18
@tiffi Nice catch, turns out I'm using 1.6. Oh well, I guess I ought to update that some time today... :p

Yes, my ~30.000 highscore is real

Wow someone jipped the highscores, lol. None the less a pretty cool game :D
tiffiauthor30 Apr 2013, 20:17
fixed the highscore, cant do anything against it --> open source
Ofursnati30 Apr 2013, 21:55
Take out the trash. Smashing game.
HackThePanda1 May 2013, 02:43
I just took look at it and tiffi it has nothing to do with being open source. Even if it weren't it would be easy enough to decompile it and see it's just an unencrypted post request to your website.
PsenFilip1 May 2013, 03:16
I think it was a bit off the theme but that was a nice little idea. I had some fun and a good laugh too.
Also, I like it when it says "There are only 3 Star Wars movies"! Hahaha
Eternal_Rest1 May 2013, 08:58
I dont seem to be able to do anything.
GetFun1 May 2013, 09:31
a big lol!
StMatn1 May 2013, 09:41
Really awesome game! To be honest, I hate the fact, that trash needs to be brougt out as much as in real life ;)
On the computer-screen there should be a link, that tells, when the narwhal does bacon :P

Excellent use of humor...funniest game I've played so far. The mechanic was pretty interesting too. I scored 5870 with 104 hits and 9 misses. The quick time event jab was very clever also, made me laugh. Well done! :)
