For the theme "Delay the Inevitable", I thought... what's more inevitable than sleep~ Let's try to stay awake to watch something exciting happen!

*Try to find ways to stay awake as long as possible
*Sleep deprivation can cause weird hallucinations, be careful~
*5 different random "endings"
*Includes an easter egg

There's something very satisfying about the slapping animation/sound effect lol. Very cute, I like it!

Found 4 endings so far. Also, the game crashes if you click the cat right at the start o.o

This was simple, but so great game :D And very relatable. Now I'm waiting for I wanna be awake for this any% (all endings) speedrun

I love the art, and accidentally biting the cactus when I meant to click the coffee pot cracked me up.

Seriously, mood. Last night I was about at cactus eating level myself! Managed to find three endings!

Fun and relatable. I have some new ideas for staying up next jam...

Haha, this is cute. And relatable. I especially like the 'caffeine jitter' animation... that's how I feel when I drink coffee too.

Cactus! I liked it. The art is very good and I enjoyed clicking on the stuff with some funny results. Nice entry. When the character was stressed I got stressed! Haha!

I will start to use the brick to wake up for my next Game Jam!

Don't eat the poor cactus!!!

The art is really really good! Idea is simple but interesting, and the details like expression of protagonist and random different endings are awesome! Nice work!

Very relatable. :P The art looks great and I loved seeing the different responses to what I clicked. Awesome job!

Wondering what clicking the cat does or was supposed to do. Now making the character disappear, some other time it just breaks the game and stop running the time :) It is a refreshing take on the theme and nicely drawn. Well done

HAHAHA! funny short game. I like seeing so many ways to stay awake. Just wondering if I could find way to reduce stress.

Ayyy cute concept! I very much like the graphics. Chomping was not the interaction I expected when clicking on the cactus.

(also, nice)

That was a funny one! Cool art style and nice sound effects :) How eating a chocolate is stressing anyone is beyond me :P Good job with the game!

Funny and hits close to home lol. Patting the cat seems to be bugged and makes the character disappear. I got three different endings, very impressive detail.
