I mean, it is called frantic. 
 

That said, I might put in a casual mode as it wouldn’t take anything doing so.

Yeah, I'm entirely willing to accept it's a me-problem. Thanks for wanting to think of solutions though!

 

Though I tried again, and maybe it's because the color palette between the images is more consistent, but it went a bit better this time:

OK, because of popular-ish demand:

• Screenshots from MI1/MI2 should not show the verb/inventory lines anymore.
• Chicken mode: Reduces the interval to 1s (from 1/10s).
• Speedrunner accolade: After the CEO sat me down and gave an inspirational lesson on his gameplay philosophies, I implemented a special accolade for those who finish the game in fewer than seven (7) seconds. (Not in chicken mode, mind you.)
• Added a "Give Up" button.
• A few performance improvements.

… and I think that's it. https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Frantic/

The chicken mode is great, but I would argue that it doesn't make the game easier per se, since it takes more time for the pictures to show up! So it's even more of a challenge in some way! More fun for me I think, as a slow point & click gamer. 

 

So maybe there should be a trophy for solving it within a few seconds anyway!

 

Thanks a lot, this is fun!

I was actually thinking the same, but... 🤷

[neoncolor8]

This would make a very challenging and less stressful game! The first picture could also disappear after the second one shows up, so there's only one piece of the puzzle seen at a time. 

Anyway, I really dig the slow mode!

I figured out Monkey Island Frantic #4 in 127 seconds after 1 attempt. Also, I used slow mode because I’m a big baby. 👼 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Frantic/

 

Thanks for adding in the slow chicken baby mode, I definitely qualify as all of those!

Also I knew the location faster than those 127 seconds, I just could NOT remember what the island was called.

And since it's 10 times as slow as normal mode, that means I can divide my score by 10 too, right?

All of you speedrunners, how do you manage to type so fast and select the right answer? Are you playing on PC?

[Thrik]

Literally the fastest I can capable of typing this on my phone, and that’s with the right result conveniently popping up in the iOS autocomplete.

I knew right away what it was, but I struggled to find the right name and there were two options that looked like the same as the popup on Safari didn’t show the full name.
