I have ADHD and have a really hard time focusing in Zoom meetings at work unless I have something to do. I keep a fidget spinner by my desk and use it constantly during calls. My brother uses a Rubik's cube for the same reason. This game is basically a digital fidget—it doesn't actually prevent you from being there in the meeting, but it does provide the little bit of background simulation that some people legitimately need in order to stay sane working a desk job.

Do you use an 'ADHD pillow' at your desk? I can recommend.

  Can you elaborate, please? Googling that term has left me a bit confused.

      Huh! I use these to keep my spine musculature busy, not my mind. Am I doing it wrong?

        Yes, you need to balance it on your head for the full effect. /s

I think there's a yuge market for 3d printed fidgets. I would order a sample array of curious plastic/metal fidgets just to have on my desk or to scratch a literal itch

  I'm not sure I'd call it a market _exactly_ because most of them are free but there are a million printable designs on places like printables.com -- ask me how I know :P

I agree! The game is basically like a fidget toy that also captures your brain's attention a bit more. Also something I wanted to do is make a game you can stop at any time, and Tik! satisfies that too..
