That was interesting... It is very skill based, and I liked that.It feels a bit like the 3 lives system is a bit overdoing it... but I guess it just adds to the challenge

thesambassador 2013-08-26 20:37

Really nice graphics/art, the sound is OK too.

The levels seem... messed up? There's no way at all avoid the flowers on some levels. It was really odd. Also you say "kill em all!" in the description, but there's no attack...

bonsairobo 2013-08-26 20:38

I like the visual style. Not a big fan of poo, but at least it looks sharp. Cool backwards shooting mechanic.

keyboardmonkey 2013-08-26 20:45

This is totally gross - I love it. Gravity feels wrong for the mechanics involved, but the sounds are so charming!

kristof 2013-08-26 20:45

Great graphics and music. The mechanics feel a bit clunky. I did not make it through as the game is quite tough, but is there only this one level with different amounts of enemies? But overall a nice game!

keyboardmonkey 2013-08-26 20:46

@Sam, you poo on the flowers and butterflies to kill em all. There I said it, and feel so dirty now :D

lesterpig 2013-08-26 20:48

Hum what a lovely game !
Nice graphics, nice sound but.. disgusting background.

beerman 2013-08-26 20:48

This is easily the best giant poo-monster game I've ever played.

jlauener 2013-08-26 20:49

Oh shit! Nice game, the graphics and music are awesome.

plancien 2013-08-26 20:53

wonderful graphics !

porglezomp 2013-08-26 21:27

It seems too hard to avoid the obstacles.

cryunreal 2013-08-27 00:06

Nice graphics!)

liannethy 2013-08-27 00:46

As someone who makes generally vile games I love this. The graphics are lovely too. I won't nitpick the lack of animation, cos the cardboard cutout style works REALLY well here. Great work :)

immanuela 2013-08-27 00:47

I think this game is currently impossible to win! But toilet humor is always good :)

I think the speed on the fecalator is a bit slow. I couldn't get further than halfway across the screen in 10 seconds.

I also agree with the person who said it's quite hard to avoid the obstacles. The first flower in level 1 is pretty hard to avoid.

recursiveanomaly 2013-08-27 01:00

Mmmm, played this game while having dinner. I liked how you have to turn around to shoot. Controls are great, and the graphics really good.

ariake81 2013-08-27 02:25

like it, love the character design!

tanser 2013-08-27 02:31

The game is not that easy to play and that is good. You could want more from the sounds but the graphics are not bad.

nickw 2013-08-27 03:08

Fun but its pretty hillariously messed up playing as a poo hah.

carlsommer 2013-08-27 03:24

Plenty of fun, especially having to turn around to shoot. It looks fantastic, too! Unfortunately, the game would always kill me three times on the third level, even if I didn't die at any point and cleared all the enemies in the level.

tomcooper3d 2013-08-27 03:39

I kept thinking the flowers were power ups. i should have known i want more poop on me. a little stiff controlling but i like the art good job!

gene-z 2013-08-27 03:59

Great Work,,, good sound , congratulations

rmatey 2013-08-27 04:06

Love the graphic design style of this game. I need to poop on more things in real life!

nathanhoffer 2013-08-27 04:28

Gross. Fun. Great graphics!!! Good job, all!

tamy 2013-08-27 05:26

That was a very weird idea,but nicely done!

cakemonitor 2013-08-27 06:24

Great game. It took me a few goes at first because I didn't realise touching the flowers was costing me time - that could have been a little clearer. Overall a nice fun entry :)

kayupla 2013-08-27 07:59

a beat slow gameplay , but so fun and original .

samueldivinium 2013-08-27 08:24

It was fun to play. A little bit short, i beat it for my 3rd try, but that's okay. Nicely done! :)

ratalaika 2013-08-27 08:56

Great work :)

mrx 2013-08-27 09:32

The theme is pretty nasty, but the game is quite interesting and challenging. Reminds me of 90s era PC platformers.

Kept feeling that jump and fire keys were swapped though.

nezzhil 2013-08-27 10:32

The graphics are very cool and the way to attack is original. The only downside is the level desing, they are very similar.

almightyzentaco 2013-08-27 11:08

I really liked the style. Music and art is very good. Game itself isn't so great.

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-27 11:35

I loved the game XD Really funny, in a world full of poop. :P I included this game in my video compilation of LD27 games, if you wanna check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQmE1DEkQd4

firezenk 2013-08-27 11:46

Good game, awesome graphics and fun idea!

rennfarnell 2013-08-27 12:00

lol what?
5 starts for humor mood and humor ;)
made me laugh quite a bit GG!

brotherst 2013-08-27 12:19

Haha, very weird. I like it! :)

pixlexia 2013-08-27 12:44

For a game about shit. This one is actually fun. :D

diptoman 2013-08-27 14:13

The graphics and music were lovely, but the gameplay was too hard. Obstacles were a real pain!

lcass 2013-08-27 14:16

gameplay definatly to hard!

davidwparker 2013-08-27 14:17

Sound was good, animation was smooth. Wish there was more to it... good start of something though. Less lives would be nice.

How did you like melonjs?

jason 2013-08-27 14:23

Lol, this game was fun! Nice graphics and I liked how you have to turn around to shoot. The whole poo is good, flowers and butterflies are bad, was clever :)

Its probably just me, but I kept wanting to press something else to jump instead of up. My fingers kept getting mixed up. The difficulty otherwise seemed right on for me. Would have enjoyed more levels!

geeks-n-chicks 2013-08-27 14:29

Thanks for comments, friends, our team is really happy that you liked our game!
I'm sorry that gameplay sometimes is not very fast and not well tested, you know - it is hard to support all kinds browsers/platforms and keep everything stable.

geeks-n-chicks 2013-08-27 14:31

davidwparker, we had never used melonjs before, but it was very easy to start and learn. Library allows you to focus on the game features, and you shouldn't care much about low-level graphics and music implementation details… it brilliant for fast start!

diptoman 2013-08-27 14:44

This game is shit! Literally! XD
I loved the art and the sound! But it seems to spike in difficulty. Maybe you should avoid the 3 lives concept and make it a "try till you decide to quit" structure.

Good job on the game!

kaype 2013-08-27 15:06

Great work! LOVE the graphical style.

nachoda 2013-08-27 16:19

Not a lot of diversity but good music and awesom art. Well done!

unept 2013-08-27 16:26

I like the graphics, like the idea, definitely has potential! I'm not a HUGE fan of poop-based games, but at least you have a solid premise and goal, right? :) I would work on easing in on the difficulty, at least make it possible to jump the first flower without getting dinged. People like not dying right at the beginning. :)

ritzblues783 2013-08-27 17:06

I like the art style. It took me a while to understand that you have to shoot the obstacles to get past them. I like the enemy progression, but I wish that each level were designed differently than the last. Also, there didn't seem to be much use for crouching, as the only area you can access with it will trap you there.

hoqjed 2013-08-27 17:15

Great graphical and sound polish for a short amount of time. Facing backwards before shooting adds novelty, and POO!

Would be nice to control the height of the jump for tricky shots (like butterflies). I didn't know how to get out of the little crawl space with the poo on the first level, as I couldn't jump when crouched.

voltorben 2013-08-27 18:05

Shiiite! (literally)
It was quite challenging at the start, but when i found out i had infinite poop shots, i got really easy (i thought i could only shoot the poop i had picked up- that might be an idea for better balance).
Could be cool with more levels :)
Lovely art and sound.
Great game, i enjoyed it :D

meedoc 2013-08-27 18:21

It lacks of diversity. It's sad that the 3rd level uses the same layout. Besides, the game is quite polished; even if collision are hard to guess.

designatius 2013-08-27 18:28

I really love it. Brilliant graphics, cool music, different gameplay... and rude! Freaking awesome, congrats on the great work!

sengi 2013-08-27 18:32

A piece of shit - is wonderful! Never thought I'd say this someday)))Very cool, nice, exciting, ridiculous - fun! Butterflies are really evil! Shit, shit and shit again, shit forever, immortal shit!!!!

muciojadpl 2013-08-27 19:02

I never steered the fecalator yet ;)Nice game.

teambob 2013-08-27 19:07

very funny! i really love it!!
great work!

killmonday 2013-08-27 19:35

+5 for poo!

gagapete 2013-08-27 19:53

Very pretty but too static graphics/art. The sound is fine, the music a bit annoying after a while. The gameplay and mechanics are to frustrating for me.
All in all a very, very diry game :D

peace 2013-08-27 20:35

Nice, but gets boring really fast !

optimus6128 2013-08-27 21:18

Nice and funny!!!

valerien 2013-08-27 21:45

Not bad there. The visual and the game feel polished overall, even though it's still blocky around the edges : the butterfly and flower placement are quite punitive considering that the bear jumps and falls quite fast and that they are quite small.

nitrocrime 2013-08-27 21:59

Gross yet fun

tigerj 2013-08-28 03:14

very interesting. very skill based and really impressive art. Not my taste but I have some friends i will share this too and it's right up their ally.

matthewvermaak 2013-08-29 06:48

Interesting twist with some fantastic art :0) Great job!

mlinus 2013-08-29 15:46

Epic win, yihaaa. :)

brassawiking 2013-08-30 18:40

Really crisp and clean graphics. Gameplay had an oldschool platformer feel to it.

proc 2013-08-31 16:42

Nice tune and graphics. Shame it is so short with no new levels.

christinaneofotistou 2013-08-31 19:37

fantastic graphic design you guys!!

dekart 2013-09-02 17:22

The setting doesn't smell very well, but the implementation is definitely good

fferro234 2013-09-04 22:09

Very interesting concept. I'm glad you have to correctly turn around before you can fire to the right. The music was catchy.
