CYCLOPS LOOK AWAY! is a short PC game about a cyclops finishing lunch (a honey comb) before getting stung too much by bees. In this game, you:
Click on the honey comb to eat it.
Finish your lunch before getting too many stings.
Look at the attacking bees to scare them away.
Spinning your eyes too much will make you dizzy.

In 2016, musician Andrew Ansbach remade the music and sound effects for this game.
The world record of winning this game is 7 seconds.
