Is This a Game? Maybe not, but it's an awesome Time Waster!

Here's the problem with games these days: too much actual playing and not enough unlocking of achievements.

Is This a Game?
might not be a game, but it provides you with 100 achievements to unlock using a (mostly) blank canvas. Pretty much anything you can think of is an achievement.

Clicking a whole bunch? Yep. Doing nothing at all? Achievement!

The thing is, you start to run out of ideas, eventually, and the non-game becomes a challenge to your creativity. Use the mouse, use the keyboard, and try different combinations.

You'd think it would get boring after a while, but it's frustrating to be defeated by a blank screen. I haven't been able to complete all 100 mystery tasks, but maybe you will.

Here's a free, quirky one for you: the Konami Code unlocks one achievement.
