"Relaxing" and at the same time counting number of clicks right next to Ideal number of clicks doesn't work very well for me :(

I agree. I liked the idea but seeing an ideal number just puts pressure on something that shouldn't be.

Maybe create a casual/competitive toggle?

Anyways good job OP :)

Try Prune, the most relaxing game I played in years.

And while you are at it follow it by watching Tales from the loop, most relaxing TV show I've seen in years.

Thanks for recommending Tales From the Loop. What a beautiful show.
Right - I only noticed the "ideal" number of clicks after I had finished the puzzle. That kinda diminished the "relaxing" aspect and made me want to go back and start speedrunning.

Otherwise, neat lil game. I got a nice picture of a kitty cat. :)

So you are the one which needed to go back.
Agreed, I needed to de-stress so I clicked through.

When I finished the back of my neck tension that I didn’t realise I had disappeared.

Most stressful thing I’ve done all week. Got 33/33 though so that’s neat.

I'd agree get rid of any competitive features so that its relaxing but if you want to make it competitive toggle it on.
It could just reveal the # of click stats after completion
