''Progressbar 95'' is a mobile video game by Spooky House Studios released in 2019. In it, you control a progress bar and collect blue segments to fill it up. Filling the bar to 100% finishes the level. However, there are many obstacles like pop-ups or explosive red bars that appear and often disrupt your progress. Clearing levels earns you points, which are then used to upgrade hardware, eventually allowing you to update the in-game operating system.
