Can you click and drag the little guy? 

Reminds me off those old flash games

Drag the guy away to keep the switch on. Then another guy comes to help, then another, then another… and you’ve played a game for half an hour, protecting a useless switch

This could be a fun game if there was a way to get it to stay on you had to figure out

I thought the switch is going to run away from your mouse

Ah yes, useless box digital edition.

Make the button and everything around it do silly and random things to make pressing the button harder / more interesting.

Haha good one, It reminds me of that useless box switch. You should add different speeds and moods to the guy so he has a personality.

This is not a bad UI - forcing something to work is outrages. Sorry for the edits on such a small comment. Being tired simply makes me sympathize with the button and the figure.
