Our take on Progress Bar Simulator

The defining mechanic is turning progress into a two-way contest: keyboard input can either advance or reverse the bar, while Twitch chat can also push it in either direction.

What is Progress Bar Simulator?

Progress Bar Simulator turns computer progress indicators into a game.

In single-player mode, keyboard input moves bars forward or backward, with normal, idle, and speed-running options. Idle mode slows the movement for extended viewing, while Run Bar focuses on improving each playthrough. Multiplayer places players in simultaneous keyboard contests using space or backspace. Twitch integration lets an audience affect the bar through chat messages: messages containing a plus sign advance it, while messages containing a minus sign reverse it. The game includes progress-bar designs inspired by different periods in computer history and supports both competitive and passive ways to interact with them.

How Progress Bar Simulator plays

01Multiple play modes
Normal, idle, and speed-running options change how progress bars move and how sessions are approached.
02Keyboard-driven control
Keys associated with upward or rightward movement advance the bar, while opposite inputs reverse it.
03Competitive multiplayer
Players compete simultaneously by pressing space or backspace as quickly as possible.
04Twitch interaction
Chat messages containing plus or minus symbols move the bar in one direction, with each message triggering one action.
05Historical bar designs
The game uses progress indicators modeled on different periods in computer history.
