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!

Fast-paced and vigorous gameplay akin to that of Elden Ring with a compelling, character-driven, cinematic like experience. Have you ever wanted to be Thor in The Avengers? Or mayhaps Toby Maguire's Spiderman lost in bat country? Well look no further. You wont find that at all. Just Stop.
Oh, but do buy this game it's good.
Yes, this is exactly what it says it is on the tin. There is no secret metagame where you discover that the progress bars are actually attached to an interdimensional nether demon that's also somehow feeding on the serotonin of everyone playing the game. It is a game where you watch progress bars fill up, either manually or automatically.
But you know what it isn't? A cryptominer. I had my suspicions, so I checked out what it was doing with Procmon. After discovering a couple of activities I thought were off, I posted in the community board. Not only was I met with a developer who was more than willing to take my claims seriously, but provided proof along with solving a bug that I thought was suspicious, all without being the least bit snide or offended by my post.
I appreciate that, because quite frankly, if it were me, I'd probably have been offended, and I probably wouldn't have handled the situation as gracefully as this developer. I am more than happy to have paid a dollar for a game that's barely a game when the developer actually cares about what their customers think of them.
There is no game here; just search for the screenshots with google image search and click furiously; you'll have the same experience. I suspect the majority/all positive reviews are fake.
Unless you have 1$ and a few hours to lose to setup an autoclicker, go through a bunch of useless terminal commands and then setting up a macro to boot up the game a thousand times (yes...), I'd stay away from this game. If I want to look at an old defragmenter or an old progress bar, I'll just look for a video on youtube.
I wouldn't mind if the game didn't have the 1000 boots/2 hours of autoclicking idle achievements but if you just want some meme go play Pony Island and if you want some terminal fun go play Hacknet or something, these have real value and actual gameplay. Otherwise it's just 2 minutes of you smiling at these oldies and then hours of hunting garbage achievements. The game has all the worse achievements anyone could think of.
fun game concept.
start loading - leave room - return - still loading ;D
, clicker the progress or use your keyboard.
Pretty cool, but I was expecting a bit of customisation. Give us the ability to customise the text of some of the older ones, like the file transfer, and this game'll be golden.
This is a bit of an oddball of a game. The game itself is pressing a button to increment through various historical loading bar screens. If you were born before 1990 you'll recognize most of them. But to me, past the novelty of running through the progress bars a few times, most of the "game" is meta in order to get the achievements. I ended up using AHK to complete several. Some were through figuring out the console commands or other in-game tricks.
Ultimately I was torn how to rate this game, and gave a thumbs up, but barely. If you were born after 1990, you won't get half the progress bars most likely, and the game won't mean as much to you.
<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
If you have played the game then you would understand. 55/100
This is what it advertises itself to be. With that said I foolishly expected more out of it. I've played some idle/clicker games with quite a bit to them. This is not one of those. You literally just click and go through the same 10 or so loading screens endlessly. You're better off getting Spaceplan or Melvor Idle if you want a better idle/clicker game.
The simulator comes with a "manual" progress bar option, if you wish to get the achievements in a timely manner, or an "automatic" option which, as you guessed, slowly progresses until the next bar. PC error sounds included.
Having this run in the background made me finally realize the appeal of those TV fireplace videos white, middle-aged mothers will put on because they crave the atmosphere of a fireplace without the slight, ever-present danger of lighting the house on fire without proper care.
11/10 would recommend if you're the type of person to play podcasts in the background while you work.
Is a well crafted game that will boost the hatred among your friends when playing together (if you have any friends).
This game was actually half decent, however I inevitable whipped out Cheat Engine, used the hack in-game that allows the mouse wheel to act as the button and just went to town. With 5x speed, a mouse wheel capable of going thousands of RPM and a program simulating it all, I got all the "byte" achievements rather fast. Bearing in mind the achievements for this game would take ages if you wanted to do them legitimately.
5-10 Minutes "gameplay" but 1000 hours of grinding. Only reasons to buy this game is to have a screensaver or if you are an achievement hunter who loves to suffer. Better ready up your best autoclicker then.
This game is mostly a combination of a joke and nostalgia. But there is nothing really clever about it. No stunning secret or anything that would surprise you. Well, there are some secrets to find, but they don't affect the main game at all. It's literally just hammering the keyboard to watch loading screens. Except for the idea of having them there is just a lack of good ideas that could have went into this game. But if you really enjoy wasting your time and energy or if you are an achievement hunter who feels no pain anymore (like me) then go for it.
PBS is an amazing experience. It's certainly not for everyone, as the deep philosophical discourse going on in this game is only ever hinted at, but never explicitly mentioned. It is like Waiting for Godot - stripped of all characters - as a game! We're living in a world in which everyone is ever so busy and yet again when we encounter a progress bar, we pause and watch and wait until the very end (of ourselves or the progress bar, interpretation is up to you). So the sole symbol for progress we have is actually the main source of wasted productivity.
If you see the backstory it's a solid 7/10. If not, it might seem a bit dull. Maybe the author could consider having an Editor's version with audio comments. I can only say it doesn't look like it at first, but it is a very deep dive into human psychology and the meaning of life and great entertainment for very little money.
I love random stuff like this and i am really really impressed with it just been playing around with it i am hoping there is an end point so i can then attempt to Speedrun it although that may result in a broken keyboard by bashing spacebar really hard
Fun little timewaster with charm. Dont expect much tho.
Hope there is gonna get some more secrets added or a DLC for more loading
