Your handshake is everything, you live and die by it. After all, there's but one chance to make a good first impression.

Progress through life, trying to impress those you meet by shaking their hand as long, as firmly and as strongly as they like.

Controls:
Any key: Progress through life/Adjust firmness of grip
Mouse: Move arm
Finish a handshake by holding your hand still.

A gentle-person's only hat is sacred, but much desired.

I have no idea, what I am doing :-) The game might need some extra explanation. I like the idea very much though, I give you five stars for innovation. Sometimes the game seems to glitch, as my "partner" flies off while still hanging on my hand.

Really fun concept! I also had the greatest bug ever, with both characters launching out of the screen like rockets :D Overall: Intense handshaking!

Difficult to work out the mechanics.

Good effort though.

Funny little game!
The paradox error was the part that make me laught the most!

Very fun and touching ! Great use of the theme.

Best hand shaking simulator I have ever played, hands down. The hat controls were a nice touch too. Only problem I had was I shook hands too well and ended the universe in a paradox. Good job!

This was hilarious and very innovative! The sad faces are great.

It was pretty fun, but really glitchy! Some times I could not shake the other person's hand at all, or the camera would zoom in really close on the hands, but it would never start the shaking.
