A minimalist waiting game where your sole job is guarding a world-ending button from being pressed by random events. The appeal lies in its hybrid nature: demanding just enough attention to keep the game window open while leaving you free to work or browse elsewhere, much like a fishing minigame stretched into a full experience. Leaderboard competition adds stakes to what is otherwise an exercise in patience and focus.

Imagine a game where you need to find something else to do while you're "playing" the game.

An experimental game that feels a surprising amount like fishing minigames in a lot of games in that it takes -just- enough attention to force you to keep it visible but not enough attention in that it allows you to commit to doing something else. And, of course, like many fishing minigames you never know exactly when something will happen.
I'd say this is for the people that always wanted a ranked version of a fishing minigame???

Hi Guards,It's been a while. Remember, if you are a true Guard, you are not complaining about people guarding the button longer than the absolute minimum to get the achievement. You guard longer than them. Have fun and stay hydrated during these warm months.The leaderboard has been updated, so ya'll can try to get that sweet achievement again. (Special thanks for the reminder from Kendall in our community discord)Have a nice,~ Jiri

Dear Guards, First of all, I admire your dedication to guarding the button. You are a perfect example of not all heroes wearing capes. You are the heroes we did not know we needed, wanted or had, the protectors, the humble servants to the planet itself. Now to get to the announcement. A new leaderboard will open on 01/04/2025 at 00:00 CET. From that time, all scores will be put into that new leaderboard, and you'll have the chance to snatch the top guard achievement. ~ Jiri
