Link to windows executable and source file are the same link, by the way.

LOL ! Ok so this is the best game title ever.
And man that little guy had to doo doo so much! What did he eat? Loved the boss fight with all the different types of shots, especially those black/red homing shots that shoot after you once they reach your X coordinate.

Needed some music but it was still entertaining. Great story and concept. A little monotonous to have to go back to the toilet but the paths opened up shortcuts that helped early on.

Thanks for a fun game!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

I really enjoyed it. My only gripe with it is that movement is a little slow and that it is quite easy, since you just have to avoid the projectiles and the white ghost does all the job for you. Otherwise it was fun to explore and the final boss has some interesting attack patterns. Nice!

Nice effort, cool idea and well implemented.

alchiggins 2013-12-18 23:18

@fullmontis - if I had more time, I'd have made the game so that you more actively direct your companion to attack. For me, shooter games have always been more about evasion and survival, so I focused on that.

Thanks for the feedback!

What a surprising game! Please review other games in order to everybody know about this game. Ruun to the toileeeet :D. Congratulation seriously. You made something interesting and funny. I only missed some music but anyway Good job dev!

Fun game! I had just one problem because the ghost went to the bathroom before it should and pretty near the toilet.Then huge monster became a problem whenever it had to go. Nice job.

If you have time please rate my game! I would really appreciate it :)

Very funny use of the theme! Reminds me of the games that shipped with early versions of windows back in the day, and of myself after eating Chipotle, lol! Great work!

I couldn't pass it up-- my favorite use of the theme so far! This game succeeds by being so perfectly balanced between seriousness and humor. Nice graphics (your friend's expression when he has to go is priceless) and the dialog is pretty priceless. Awesome work!

alchiggins 2013-12-19 03:52

Wow, thanks for the positive response!
@Glovecat - if I make a post compo version of this I would love to add music.
@_zulli - pooping right next to the toilet is the best. I'll definitely check your game out this evening.

This game reminded me of a game I used to play when I was really little. It was called Digimon World; you'd have a Digimon follow you around, and sometimes it had to poop. I loved that game so much. Anyway, nice job! Solid piece of work.

arcticleaf 2013-12-19 06:07

cool game, i like this

alchiggins 2013-12-19 06:13

@auto_suggestion - this was partially inspired by Digimon World, actually!

jaymeemak 2013-12-19 21:43

Can't play, mac

venks 2013-12-20 07:33

Haha very silly and entertaining game. Well worth the play.

insane66 2013-12-21 14:49

That was pretty good. I like that you can play all the way through to the boss fight without dying and restarting 100 times. Good balance of difficulty for a quick game.

I could not run this game because I use Linux. However, attempting to install it using Wine results in an error popup saying "Cabinet is not valid". Since "Cabinet" means "Toilet" in French, I’m still giving you stars for unintentional humour.

alchiggins 2013-12-22 19:13

@SamH bahahahaha that's excellent, thanks! I'm sorry you couldn't play it.

Fun entry ! And totally complete : Intro, NPC, Boss ending sequence... And a very interesting world.
Each time I change screen I had to push the direction key again which was a bit disturbing and stressful when I was in a poop-urgency.
The Boss bullet pattern are also well designed.
Congrats on making such a polished entry in 48h

Lots of good parts in this game, the text is interesting the boss is nice. Most of the normal mobs however are kind of bland. The toilet mechanic did not add much and the strong viruses were not enough of a threat.

fussycashew 2013-12-23 00:47

Very well done! I loved the story, and I loved your use of YOGO.

Thanks for entering the compilation!

I get the feeling that this just simply isn't going to work.

kirbytails7 2013-12-24 04:45

Pretty solid, though not terribly fun without any real challenge. The main mechanic was somewhat tedious, but at least there wasn't as much backtracking as there could have been.

jomomomo 2013-12-26 01:27

Can't play windows games..

garethiw 2013-12-26 14:08

Amusing game :) Quite a lot of content too, as far as compo entries go!

ViliX 2013-12-27 22:41

Neat idea :) 4/5 for mood
