A slacker stick figure named Bota moves onto your desktop. An idle app where you sneak peeks between tasks as he idly mutters to himself to match the time of day and the day of the week. He won't get in your way. Sometimes he talks to you. That's the whole app.

About this game
A Slacker Moves Onto Your Desktop!?
Sill Sticks is an idle desktop app where a stick figure comes to live on the edges of your desktop windows — all you do is watch and enjoy.
The star is "Bota," a stick figure who's sloppy, forever slacking off, a bit of a handful, and... maybe a little cute? Somehow, you just can't hold it against him. He grumbles and lazes around, yet he seems quietly happy somehow. Bota dreams of being a cat, is hopeless around sweets, holes up at every opportunity, and spends his days on games, TV, and sleep. You sneak a peek at his mutterings between tasks. That's the whole app.
Features
Mutters in context — Bota idly talks to himself based on the time of day, the day of the week, and how long the app has been left running. In the morning it's "Still sleepy...", and late at night it's "Go to bed already... yeah, me too." The combinations produce different lines from day to day.
Just peek at him — Bota knows you're there. Every now and then he'll talk to you. Maybe a friendship will blossom?
Stays out of your way — Bota won't get in your way. He's just idling through life at his own pace. Though he does talk to you sometimes. Sometimes.
What's Next
We plan to keep updating Sill Sticks little by little.
