The Waiting Game

Zimblort  wants to walk the tightrope of doom, but can only do it if you're watching him. Don't look away, or else very, very, very bad things will happen to him. Test your attention span and help Zimblort achieve his goal!

Access to webcam preferred.

    FAQ:   

Q: Windows says this program is dangerous and that I shouldn't run it. Why did you try to give me a virus?

• A: Sorry dawg, that's my bad. This game was made in Pygame, and Windows SmartScreen does not appreciate it. If you would like to run the game anyways despite the big scary blue message, click "More info" and "Run anyways." I ran the .exe file on VirusTotal.com, and it appears to be safe with a few false positives. You are free to view all the  (poorly written) code and every single file of the game at https://github.com/slahns/Waiting-Game

Q: Are you going to steal my face with your disgusting facial recognition spy technology?

• A: No, I'm not smart enough to do that. Zimblort might do it, though. He's a wild card. You can view all the code and everything about the game at https://github.com/slahns/Waiting-Game if you want to make sure.

Q: Why are there multiple suns in the background? And why does the background disappear sometimes?

• A:  Zimblort is so powerful that his presence alone is enough to distort reality. Nothing is safe.

Q: Why doesn't Zimblort just walk across the tightrope on his own? Is he stupid?

• A:  He gets nervous if someone isn't watching him. Don't be mean to him.

Q: I found a way to cheese the game. What do I get?

• A:  Spankings from Zimblort.

Q: How long does this take to complete?

• A:  That's for you to learn :)
