That was pretty epic, and probably one of the most fitting entries.

Success! You lasted 202.103 seconds - And I don't feel like I wasted even a milisecond, good work!

Hahahaha. The idea was funny enough in itself, but the blinking confession button was what made me burst out laughing.

I accidentally clicked on the JPG and stared at it for a wile before noticing I wasn't playing the game. =) The game is much better!

you're cheating, you're just a picture. Haha nice use of them, clever gameplay. I like it, although I do feel like you're kind of cheating this whole game development thing :P
CrazyGage1 May 2013, 04:13
Not really a game, per se.... But a brilliant entry, none-the-less. Love it.
Travis Irby1 May 2013, 04:25
okay this made me laugh the most of anything so far :D
JigxorAndy1 May 2013, 05:35
Funniest game of the jam! I blinked!
messiano1 May 2013, 05:41
LOL LOL LOL ! Seriously, another terrible idea turned into something great. Kudos!

Turns out it's really hard to laugh and not blink at the same time.
Anickyan1 May 2013, 06:59
This is so hilarious, especially the audio :D

Best. Game. Ever.
Make him animated, do more sounds and release it on Steam! :D
Jyrkface2 May 2013, 01:01
Fantastic use of theme! Only suggestion is to maybe use video if you go for a larger release?
stqn2 May 2013, 02:06
For me it's stuck on the loading sound screen even if I click on start anyway. Maybe my firefox extensions, but I enabled everything I could...

lol, well done. I wish this music played every time I had a staring contest.

Hilarious :) Would be cool to see some animation in the eyes, but overall, it does what it needs to. Clever.

Oh brilliant. That was hilarious.
Jellycakes7 May 2013, 00:24
Was pretty funny how the guy was yelling at me and even said how stupid I was to think he was programmed to blink, then actually blinked. Was really funny to play. Really nice job.
Hayawi7 May 2013, 00:24
Best Game Ever. Nuff Said.

martijn7 May 2013, 17:22
Hilarious game, very enjoyable. Maybe you should add an option to detect if the game loses focus (Like if you open another tab) and make that count as a blink.

Wait.. what?
Sestren7 May 2013, 22:14
The dialogue really made it great.

Not sure how I should score you on innovation. On the one hand, staring contest must be the oldest game ever. On the other than, *it's on the internet*, and that was good enough to be called innovative in the 90's.

The background music makes it just perfect. I'm not sure how to rate graphics. :D just a joke.

Awesome. 3 minutes, but I am sure it doesn't blink.
tcstyle9 May 2013, 20:32
Ouch, I blinked. Intense green eyes.
MrShoestore10 May 2013, 02:20
i opened this game then during 'play' left and forgot about it for a bit... when i came back im pretty sure i saw the eyes get bigger....

Too hard, but funny.

Oh wow, you're brilliant. A single button? One image? Several lines of dialogue?
