This was so stressful (as it was intended ha ha). Answered 9, got a score of 5. I wish the first level of shakiness was a bit less strong, so you had the decision between using the stress ball or trying to keep answering like that; as it is right now, one level down on calmness and I have to use the stress ball right away. The game feels really polished all around. This was a very original idea, what a great take on the theme. Nice work :D

How does your game fit the theme?
There is a very scary exam timer written in a very scary red font that you need to stare at regularly. Also as the exam progresses, your calmness and groundedness begin to count down.

My original idea was very similar to this but I scrapped it because I didn't know how to gamify it.
You actually managed to make something cool! Great job!

Work Faster and Get FiredThis is so hard and so stressful, but I managed to get 50% so I'll take it lmao. Cool idea, and I like the idea of the timer ticking faster when you aren't looking, I totally had that moment of "WAIT HOW IS THERE NO TIME LEFT??" at one point lol. Sometimes it was frustrating when the statuses ticked down immediately after I fill them.
After I stopped playing this game, I still thought that my mouse pointer was shaking.

ClockwardsI think it works really well as a minigame or loop thats part of a bigger narrative experience and I hope you continue working on it after the jam!
