[MEDALS AND SCOREBOARD PARTIALLY OPERATIONAL]

Leaderboard is facing a bug that won't track past 14 days on endless(also affecting the "last a month" medal). I apologize, please don't strain yourselves.


After bumbling around for long enough, you realize there's only 5 days to meet your deadline; use the paddles to bounce the Zs away long enough to finish!


Volume Controls: + and - Press 0 to Mute

Gamepad and Mobile Controls Supported

Press F to Fullscreen and ESCAPE to Exit


Some Statistics:

- 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 8 songs in the game too many ****ing times before they looped properly

- Work began late at night on July 6th when Brandon committed to teaching Nick how to program

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

- You cannot die on the first night, ****in' try me. it will say "you lasted 0 days"

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


The drawing program built in the main menu is fairly primitive with a basic brush, erase, clear, and screenshot tool. If the game gets too dense with dots depending on your CPU the game may lag.


If you're on a laptop and 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.


Special Thanks to ninjamuffin99 for porting over rexrainbow's Newgrounds API plugin for Construct 3 for this project. Be sure to hit "Retry" or "Quit" on the Game Over screen to ensure it logs your score.

i wish it worked on mobile. Edit: it turns out that i have the critical thinking of a fetus and can’t figure out that you tap above/below the paddles. Not dragging them.
