Straight Trippin'!

You are the person in control of the switch, that controls the nuclear missiles of your country.

..guess it wasn't such a good idea to take a hit of ACID before leaving to work!

Use the 'Spacebar' to launch the missiles. And only do so when your commanding officer tells you to! So keep an eye in the TOP LEFT CORNER, and try not to be distracted by everything else!

REMEMBER! The missiles travel really fast! SO YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO REACT WITHIN SECONDS! Keep your hand on the 'spacebar' and enjoy the game!

"It was me... and Kevin Bacon" well played, haha.

I really liked the dialogue. Shows a lot of personality.
And the game does a good job at making you look at multiple parts of the screen at once, increasing the tension. I like it!

I think it's an interesting idea. It left me a little confused on the first go. When that popup said click hear to see the glorious sounds, I didn't understand at first. I thought it might have been a link to your soundcloud or something. But to be fair, that was probably just me being incredibly thick!

I liked the atmospheric talking sounds. I liked the idea of the game, but to be honest, rather than feeling tension, I just got bored waiting. I think there is something in the idea of only hitting that button at the right time, but maybe there is a way of making the whole thing faster and more intense. Colors and shapes all over the screen going crazy. The music could be a lot faster. Perhaps you could have the word "NOW" or "Just Push it!" as a chorus. And most importantly I think it would be better if I didn't have to wait nearly as long before i have to push the button.

Funny and unique. The randomness gives it a nice re-playability. Awesome job!

That was weird. The feel and audio was nice. Not sure about the background "voices" though. Just wish there was something else to do while waiting but it does add to the tension so I can see the concept behind it. Overall unique and solid

Simple idea really well executed. Liked the dialogue and audio, thought they worked really well in building the tension in having to stay focused. Did begin wondering after awhile if the commanding officer would ever command me to push the switch but luckily I had a friend come talk to me to pass the time.

Thank you all for you comments and feedback!

I was originally going to implement some more gameplay features, but I ran out of energy/time creating the game as it is.

Oh, and most importantly thank you for playing my game!
