Move, click, drag and shake your mouse to play through 20 mini-games!

The way the game works is that it chooses a random mini-game for you to play.
Each mini-game lasts about 2-4 seconds.
And every time you advance, you are awarded a point.
They games start out slow, and gradually speed up.

To play, just run the .exe anywhere

If you want to check out the source, you need Construct Classic.

Really really fun! I thought that having the music speed up as the game sped up was a very nice touch.

That was really great! The minigame format is great for the theme, and as things pick up it feels like you have even less time, so very minimal. The graphics are really awesome in a "my handwriting in kindergarten" cute and fun way. Good work.

Fun game but the audio was really harsh.

a round of mini-games does fit well for execution of minimalism theme. Charming!

Really good idea. Reminds me of that old flash game, Multitask.

Fun and fast paced. I can't see where it's minimal - maybe the art style. But I like it.

Nice! It's like MS Paint WarioWare! I think the scribbled style works really well since it's consistent throughout, and the games have a pretty good variety. You should make the instruction message stay up a little longer and not be dismissed by clicking, though, since often I was clicking madly from the last game and dismissed the instructions before I got a chance to read them. Great job, though.

Haha, pretty amusing. Some of the games are a bit obtuse the first few times. Fun though.

Whoa! Impressive!

Reminds me of WarioWare, which I considered myself.

URMUM IS FAT. This is one of my favorites so far, tons of game content crammed in there!
cmayhem29 Apr 2013, 23:28
Super amazing fun!

That was so fun, really well made! The slapping one is the best! Good Job!

My favorite game i've played so far. Really nice work. The animations are hilarious, and its really really fun to play.

Gameplay was fun, good use of minimal controls.
cmjd30 Apr 2013, 04:42
It's an interesting game, there's definitely a ton of content and you can see that plenty of effort was put into the game, great job!

Very WarioWare-esque, but a fun game. Maybe a few too many games involving moving your mouse around quickly, but the variety and randomness of the games keeps things fresh and fun, and makes a simple but enjoyable concept.
Ariake8130 Apr 2013, 23:37
Enjoyed the game, clearly a lot of work. Loving the previous description of MS paint does wario ware, captured your game perfectly. Do think it was a little too close to other mini game compilations, risking a poor cousin analogy. Music also verged on irritatating which doesn't match the fun gameplay.

Frenetic clicks! Frenetic mouse movements! Aaaaaaaaaaa! My only complain would be getting the same minigame too often (maybe a weighted random would've been better). I like the consistency of this game, everything looks, sounds and plays very minimally. Good work there!

Great job - some clever mini-games in there :)

I really liked how fast-paced the game would turn, and the music too!! It's really fun, but at first I was lost on what to do in each mini-game, and sometimes the game changed too fast in the first parts.
Alucard J2 May 2013, 23:11
Very nice game. Stuck for an idea ... then use all of them! I like the graphics, this really fits the theme well. Well Done =]

It's a cool little game, I like the sketchy art. Sometimes I thought the transitions between mini-games were a bit quick and I'd lose a life before I'd even realised what was happening. Overall, the game fits the theme well and it's fun trying to figure out the mechanics.
