About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

You've been playing Nintendo DS for too long and you realize there's only 5 days left to meet your animation deadline; use the paddles to bounce the Z's away long enough to stay awake and finish!

Originally made over the course of 37 consecutive full workdays. Don't crunch kids, we only did because the project was fun and the thrill of creating is what makes me happy :)

  • Nick has slept approximately 164 hours since production started

  • Brandon has consumed 127 cups of coffee during the production of this game

  • Mike exported the same 9 songs too many ****ing times before they looped properly

  • Work began late at night in July when Brandon committed to teaching Nick how to program

  • There are multiple endings! Well 2 good ones and a baaad

  • Play around in the main menu: it's got a full fledged drawing program with some secrets!

The drawing program built in the menu is fairly primitive with a basic brush, erase, clear, and screenshot tool. Depending on your CPU the game may lag with too many dots on screen.

  • W and S move your left paddle.

  • Up and Down move the right paddle.

  • Hit Space to slow time to your advantage.

  • Gamepads are supported!

If you're on a laptop and the Arrow Keys are too small try a Mouse or Trackpad on the right side! You can also use I and K instead of Up and Down.
