About This Game

TL;DR

So, you don’t care about a lot of text? I’m fine with that.
Press buttons on your keyboard to make the Progress Bars go up and down.

Intro

Progress, the final frontier. Since everything progresses, but not as fast or slow as YOU want it to, you can take full control of progress in this game.
Made with (mostly) historically correct Progress Bars from the history of computers.
A truly passionate approach on the most significant achievements of the modern age: THE PROGRESS BAR, finally becomes a game.

Gameplay Singleplayer


Use any key on your keyboard (or mouse) that you might associate with “right/up” for progression and the “left/down” direction for regress.



normal
Progress and regress as you wish, at your personal pace.

idle
Modern computers are often way too fast to fully enjoy the beauty of Progres Bars. You can finally watch as many Progres Bars as you want, in their pace. Slow and smooth.

RUN BAR
In case your modern life is NOT fast enough, why not try speed-running and Improving every playthrough?

Gameplay Multiplayer


Can you beat your friends? ALL of them? AT THE SAME TIME?
Go against your friends and challenge them in a game of keyboard destruction to find out who can press faster space or backspace.

Twitch
Play with or against your audience on Twitch, just set the channel name in the “Options” menu.
Any chat message with a + in it will make progress and every message with a - in it will make a regress.
Every message has only one action.
Streamer VS audience, who will win?

What other players Say:


But don’t trust my words alone, this is what other player have to say:

  • “I am speechless.”
  • “We played it straight for an hour against each other.”
  • “This is totally awesome!”
  • “This is how I imagine the next ransomware will be.”
  • “I have absolutely no clue what you are trying to make here.”
  • “I am highly underwhelmed.”
  • “This must be interrogation software used by the CIA to destroy ppl’s minds.”

So what do you waiting for?
Start making Progress!
