Someone put a Breakout clone in Google Calendar that cancels your meetings after you bust them to bits

According to itseieio’s TikTok bio, they “make dumb games”, but I’d argue that putting a brick-breaker into Google Calendar is galaxy brain stuff. As they explain in a video, they spent two weeks polishing the game, adding color-coded explosions as you smash your scheduled standups into smithereens, as well as that authentic-looking trail behind the ball. But the most important part of all is that, yes, you really can decline your weekly townhall or Thursday afternoon “quick chat” by slapping it with a ball.

When you finish a round of BreakTime, which really is a clever name, you’re asked if you actually do want to decline all those one-on-ones you just broke. So no, you don’t have to skip that stakeholder meeting because of a videogame if you don’t want to. But every time a round finishes and the popup appears, you’ll be tempted. Why not go hardcore mode and ditch those conference calls? They could probably have been emails anyway.
