Competitive Line Waiting

Competitive Line Waiting is a 2009 online mouse-only Flash game developed by Jacob Grahn.
It was made over a few days for an endurance themed Kongregate contest while he took a break from Platform Racing 3, though it didn't win."Competitive Line Waiting". Jiggmin. November 20, 2009."The Longest Lasting Game Contest - Sponsored by Stride" - Kongregate
It's most well-known for being Jiggmin's only game that's considered lost, with only two known surviving pictures of it.
Its characters were later reused for Creation and their faces became the default profile pic in War of the Web.
==Gameplay==
Competitive Line Waiting is an online game where the objective is to reach the front of the line for a new roller coaster called "The Lumberjack's Revenge!". Players have the option to play as a guest with the name "Plank" or use their Kongregate name/avatar.
To maintain their spot, players have to leave their cursor in a "Focus" bubble that continually moves around the screen while also getting rid of various green distraction bubbles that pop-up.
When the line starts moving, they must click the Focus bubble to follow it. Failing to focus by keeping the cursor out for too long or not removing distractions quick enough causes the player to jump out of line and start over.
Players can also cut in line to reach the ride quicker or defend their spot if someone's trying to cut them. Either action requires them to quickly tap multiple green bubbles to fill a yellow meter that will allow them to perform their move.
==Shut Down==
After Jiggmin launched a redesign of his website on January 21, 2011, Competitive Line Waiting broke since he forgot to add files needed for it to work. The game had also suffered from an unrelated issue for over a month that broke the focus bubble, making progression impossible."Comments for Competitive Line Waiting". - Kongregate (2010)
Unlike Musical Evenizer, which similarly broke but was left up, Jiggmin quietly removed the game from his site a few days afterwards."Games" - jiggmin.com (January 2011 archive) Only the loader is available and no known copy of the actual game publicly exists, leaving fan projects to revive it impossible.
