Release date: 19 April 2011

***PLEASE VISIT clickyourpen.blogspot.com***

General Info:
The action takes place on a small map (about 32x32). Your goal is to work together to reach a specific amount points by using the “Click Your Pen” ability on the teacher. Each student has a unique ability to help you reach this goal. When you die you get trapped in the Teacher's classroom and another student must stand on the switch to save you. However, there is a gate to the school which stops you from saving people whenever you want. Don't get caught inside when it closes - you will also become trapped!

Features:
- Optional tutorial in the beginning.
- "Easy", “Normal” and “Hard” difficulty levels.
- "Pick" and "Random" game modes.

- Bots can now play (as of V1.6).
- Stylish terrain, recently updated to suit the game.
- 11 characters to choose from which each have their own unique ability.
- Customized abilities with their own icons.

Screenshots:

Should have a school behind the teacher and every now and then she goes in, so its different than Poke the Angry Ogre.

Hi whoareyou,

Thanks for the feedback! So what you're saying is that in the middle of the game she walks into the school? That's a very nice idea, thanks!

Ok..., I didn't like the terrain and the model of the teacher.

Hmm, a child learning in a hell school huh?

You can use the Cityscape or something and add props such as table and chairs for obstacles.

I agree. The terrain isn't right and neither is the teacher model.

Don't worry, I have taken those suggestions into account and have changed the terrain (soon to be released). Can you please suggest another model?

Generally, when I think of Teachers, I think of women. So... Some model of a woman. Like Jaina or something.

Okay, thanks Sevion. I will use the Jaina model in version 1.2. Was there anything else that you would like changed?
