Desktop Mark

About this game

This is Mark.

And that's about it. Every time he hits a side of your screen, he rebounds, and speeds up just a little bit.

Sometimes, however, he hits the exact corner in a satisfying bounce. That's a signal to stop the work you're supposed to be doing, and play a little game with Mark.



Hit the corner? Procrastinate easily with 10 small minigames that are just fun enough to take your mind off your work.

From classics like Snake, sneaking through mazes, skydiving, chess and even beating up your brother, Desktop Mark has just what you need to scratch your entertainment itch!



Every minigame earns you Mark bucks, which you can then use to customise Mark with over 25 Marks, 40 hats and 10 corner-hit sounds.

Make Mark your own, earn achievements and play games. Yeah, that's Desktop Mark.

FAQ

• Does he bounce around your real computer? Yes! He's always on top and transparent, so you can do anything else whilst he bounces.
  
• How often does he hit the corner? Depending on what you've got the acceleration set to, around every 15 minutes.
  
• Do I need to have a corner hit to play minigames? Nope! For a small amount of Mark bucks, you can play any minigame at any time, and even profit!
  
• How many hours of gameplay will I get? Don't expect hours of content. Depending on how you play, you can have Mark as a simple distraction widget or grind minigames to buy every costume you can.

  I figured out how to compile the game again??

  okay so basically I hurt my neck this morning and had a lot of time to think, so I thought, "why not update desktop mark again".just a couple:Bug fixesNew hats/skinsTweaks to minigames: Better snake controls, zoomed out heist minigame, and easier MarcusThat's pretty cool. Seasonal items now work again too, and the unobtainable "tax return" achievement will now be unlocked upon opening the game (as it's unobtainable).If you'd like to see what I actually get up to nowdays, check out "Shenaniguns" here on Steam!I might not return to this project again, but maybe in the future we could finally make mobile mark... desktop mark 2... console mark? VR mark wouldn't have any corners.until next time!!!
