About this game
When a meeting could have been an email. When a term paper looms. When a friend looks bored. When a streamer craves chaos. When your hands need to be BUSY.
That’s when Stress Buddy is your anti-productivity accomplice. A stress-relief desktop companion who breaks up the monotony of work, school, games, and streams.
It’s living on your desktop, rent-free, just waiting to bounce and roll, to distract and fidget.
Unlock and play with a variety of different buddies, 16 at launch, including:
- Fuzzy Buddy, who has feelings, loves to be scritched, and bops to your music
- Rocky Buddy, who's afraid of the cursor and grows moss when sitting still
- Dudley, who’s teal and goes boing
- A red balloon, a crumpled ball of paper, and a variety of sports balls
Invite up to 100 friends to fill your screen with balls in Multiplayer. Is it sweet? Is it trolling? Eh.
Activate Trashketball mode in the Settings screen and score points in the Recycle Bin. Two points inside the three point line, three points if you throw from outside. (Works in multiplayer!)
Build obstacle courses (or golf courses?) with windows and folder icons.
You know your viewers and subs love the chaos!
- Challenge your chat to distract you by flinging buddies around on your screen via configurable chat commands.
- Encourage viewers to subscribe by spawning an extra buddy for every sub.
(Requires Twitch Integration Pack Add-on, launching soon, available now to streamers who meet certain viewership thresholds. For more details, reach out to me in the Discord community!)
