It's a splendid night for a walk! But wouldn't you know it? A ruffian! He has assaulted you in the alleyway you walked down and is demanding all your money!
What is a stylish hypnotist like you to do, but break out your mystic amulet and put your years of training to use!
Use the two keys shown at the top of the screen to swing your mystic amulet of hypnotism back and forth. The better you swing it, the more he'll fall under your spell.
But watch out! *Hypnotism is hard, so the keys you'll need to use will keep changing.*
Do your best or it's lights out for you and goodbye to your money!

A few notes from the programmer (me):
*NOTE: if you're playing the Mac version, DO NOT click the fullscreen button. It breaks the layout of the game. I've looked into how to prevent it from happening but there doesn't seem to be a clear solution.*
I've posted versions for Mac, Win, and Linux, but I only have access to a Mac so I couldn't test the other two. They _should_ be fine, but you never know. Also, I've disabled the resolutions chooser, but last LD I seem to remember some folks saw it anyway despite our best efforts. Things may not look right unless you select 550 x 800 as the resolution.
Some play pointers: The speed at which the keys change gets faster over time. Good typists may do better at the game. Do not attempt in real life.
Tip for people who can't see the keys in the web browser: Try zooming out. I think it has to do with Windows scaling - on my high-res monitor, I have Windows scaling set at 150%, and had to zoom the site to 67% to compensate.
I tried this hypnotic technique after playing this game as I was mugged by a biker in an alley outside a dive bar. I was assaulted with a knife, severely wounded, and left for dead with my wallet and hypnosis pendulum stolen.
haha cool! it's a very creative use of the theme. I've finished more than 5 times trying to find different ends (I found 2 - kawaii and chicken). The game is simple but can be played many times, still keeping fun. The graphics are well made and the music gives a good atmosphere. Nice work :D
The controls do take some getting used to (especially the sudden key changes) but once you get to used it, everything becomes very easy. Anyway, it's a brilliant take on the theme and I love how there are different possible outcomes after the thug becomes hypnotised.

Art style is cool as always.

Would recommend.
Couldn't beat it though, it gets impossible for me later on.
