A downloadable software for Windows and Linux

This was created for libGDX Jam 15 - "The Player is Asleep". In this "game" (more like "screensaver") the objective is to get as high a score as possible before you fall asleep, in real life. Every 10th thonk is a special stolen thonk, which should help you keep track if you're starting to doze off.

This game was featured in Raeleus' libGDX Jam December 2020 Review.

Install instructions

No web build because things don't work in it and I don't have all the time in the world here.

Download the applicable file for your operating system. 32-bit and ARM users will have to use the JAR and pray that it works, which is incompatible with some new Java versions but is apparently fine with Mr Zebra's.
