Wow this is a really fun game. I find it a really fun puzzle to spread poopy all over my oppressive owner.

thygrrr 2016-12-12 03:56

Thank you for the kind words! :)

rjhelms 2016-12-12 05:03

Great job, man! This is a really compelling puzzle game, with a hilarious premise and a great visual style.

Some music would make this really shine - but it's awesome all the same.

zarkonnen 2016-12-12 11:47

Space-filling poop curves. :D

aster0id2000 2016-12-12 11:47

Really fun to play! I enjoyed it. It's kinda missing the background music tho, but well, good job man!!! Nice game!

thygrrr 2016-12-12 11:51

Thanks a lot! I hacked in sound basically going into submission hour, no time to compose any music. Also, it's 20 years since I tracked my last piece... :D

Time Lapse Videos coming later today.

I'm considering making a "Jam" or "Polished" version with some transitions after this is over, adding some funny music.

gene-z 2016-12-12 11:56

I can´t play

oxeren 2016-12-12 12:19

Haha, that was fun! :)

saurterrs 2016-12-12 12:41

Cool x)

_beta 2016-12-12 12:43

Spreading poop has never been this fun

aliencargo 2016-12-12 12:44

Fun game with nice polish. I was really confused in the beginning because you can press a button and close the text between levels very fast, so it took almost 4-5 maps before i understood what was going on!

thygrrr 2016-12-12 12:45

Yeah, no time for waitstate

thygrrr 2016-12-12 12:46

Will add more polish to the "end level" experience in a later version. (obviously not the compo version). Thank you for the kind and constructive feedback :)

everard999 2016-12-12 12:59

Lol i will never buy one this robots after this !! Good job

sanojian 2016-12-12 13:25

Is this game based on personal experience? ;-) Fun game and great graphics and lighting.

resty 2016-12-12 13:31

This game is really nice. Played to level 16, not sure if there is an end.

After some level, it becomes a problem to find shortest path road to the poop and find a Hamilton-Road. Never thought that finding Hamilton-Road is such fun.

And nice random puzzle generator.

Only problem troubles me is that sometimes i can't sure if a given cell is blocked or not.

thygrrr 2016-12-12 13:36

The path length goes up unto level 20, with a 50 step length. Then it stays constant. The simple Generator has problems with longer paths because there are literally bazillions of routes to try.

Who would've thunk I casually get to build a game that has two NP complete problems, bin packing and the Hamilton path :)

asturk 2016-12-12 13:56

Hey man, about my game not working on web version, i fixed now, i just accidentaly left on "draft mode" instead of "public mode" so only i could play the game, so really sorry about it!

I will test your game later when i got more time and vote / comment here again, if you can test my web link again, i will be appreciated! ;]

mik3 2016-12-12 16:08

Really fun idea, fun to play as well. The sounds were a bit annoying though.

harark 2016-12-12 16:48

Quite fun puzzle game. Played to level 9. I really like the graphics! Blocky in a nice way. Cute roomba! It was sometimes hard to see if a tile was blocked or not. It didn't affect any decisions negatively but made me having to focus on something other than the puzzles themselves.

asturk 2016-12-12 17:03

Oks i am back to test now!

Well, i really enjoy these style of puzzles games, and i found the level design really creative and, sometimes, challenging. Also, it was a very funny concept and cool to play. Also, you did pretty well for a first run here at ludum dare, good job!

tommy 2016-12-12 17:33

Great game! Really original and funny, I love the graphics. The only thing that I feel it's missing is the possibility to move holding the keyboard buttons.

adrian09_01 2016-12-12 19:55

Really fun game! Great voxel graphics. Kinda missing the background music sadly.

kazik_210 2016-12-12 20:16

I like this graphics style and the idea for a game is really clever :), though the voices are a little bit annoying for me

makhovykh 2016-12-12 20:41

Innovation genre! 10/10 poops!

thygrrr 2016-12-12 21:01

Thank you all for the great and constructive feedback. :)

eri0o 2016-12-12 21:08

I played this for a long time, and then noticed I was stuck in Level 5! I like to spread lot's of poop, I wanted cool words pooping in the screen to make me feel more awesome, but it was cool and really creative! I missed a background music. I like the shining logo!

thygrrr 2016-12-12 21:33

Added a proper embedded version. Supports screens up to 16:9. (coming from a passionate UW 21:9 screen user, this is quite embarrassing :D)

terop 2016-12-12 23:30

Looks nice, sounds work ok, was kinda difficult to control when the player was behind the cover... But good work...

starlight-glimmer-is-best-poney 2016-12-12 23:47

Have mercy, this apartment is wayy too big. Think of the costs of upkeep! (By the way, I love the 3D pixel art).

I had an impression that the text 'Full Spread' (or 'Missed spot') sometimes obstructs the direction the player should go first.

In general, this is very enjoyable up to a point when it gets too repetitive.

blinry 2016-12-13 02:25

Fun idea! I also suspect this is based on personal experiences ;-) The graphics and models are amazing! :O The game concept was maybe a little bit too simple for me, I would have enjoyed more objects with further game mechanics. At the beginning, it was not always clear to me which floor tiles were accessible (like, below the table?), and I was confused when "level 6" changed after a failure ;-)

I definitely would have liked an undo or a restart button, because when you know you did a mistake, you have to poop around until your battery dies.

fussycashew 2016-12-13 03:48

Great work! Audio is a little grating, but the gameplay is great!

peachtreeoath 2016-12-13 04:18

Full spread!

batmagus 2016-12-13 10:40

Love that voxel art! It could probably stand to be a little shorter, some of the levels feel like filler.

x1212 2016-12-13 15:42

I need to show this to the other members of our team! There was a robot like at the place we used to work on the game. Luckily it wasn't active at the time ... :D

Great Graphics!
Also the mechanics and puzzles work really well.

aflatminerstudios 2016-12-13 16:41

Loving the voxel art! The humor is A+, I was really compelled to seek revenge.

limmmmm 2016-12-13 20:11

this is legitimately really fun. love the revenge element, too haha

haddy22 2016-12-14 03:23

Id throw my roomba out the winda-

Did this happen to you? Personal experience here? haha

Very well executed game- and lots of levels! Wish there was a restart button, I made mistakes and instantly wanted to redo the level. :P Art works great- sounds work great- well done!

dejvo 2016-12-14 10:30

Nice one. I like puzzle games. but sometimes, I have no idea where I am unless i move

dejvo 2016-12-14 10:32

Also, I've made a roomba game as well

thygrrr 2016-12-14 11:52

Left you a review there, thanks for reviewing mine :)

dvorgaz 2016-12-14 11:52

Neat:) Although it took me some time to realize that you can go under the tables.

hunttis 2016-12-14 12:57

I can't believe it :D

I laughed my bottom off when I saw this, as this has really happened to a friend of mine (well, the roomba probably wasn't actually vindictive, but the mess was still quite something :D). I'm guessing you've had it happen too? :D

Aaaanyway, about the game:
+ a new kind of a puzzler, which is always nice to see
+ nice graphics + simple controls + easy to grasp
- the sounds were a bit sharp for me - sometimes the roomba started from behind the level sign and I had to move first to find out where I start

leondryaso 2016-12-14 15:30

This is really weird but fun! :D

firellon 2016-12-14 17:46

Really cool graphics!

thygrrr 2016-12-14 23:07

Thank you XD

spacedoubt 2016-12-15 03:56

Who doesn't stay up late nights just imagining what it would be like to be a poo-spreading roomba?! It's like a dream come true...

yuigoto 2016-12-16 00:46

I really love puzzle games like this one! Had great fun in here spreading poo everywhere!

The voxel graphics, coupled with the sound effects, give that 8-bit feeling, which is really nice. :D

Controls also work really nice for me, can't get as simple and better as that. :)

My only complain would be the camera angle, sometimes I don't know if there's a space or not in some places. Maybe it's me, but it kinda confused me a bit. :P

And, first entry? Really? Great work you've done here! Congrats on surviving and submitting! :P

Cheers!

maekeruu 2016-12-16 04:10

Nice game you have here! I had fun spreading those poops everywhere!! I noticed that you will spread more poop and gain more score if you stay on a spot for long time... puzzle games like these are nice to play, nice mechanics!

thygrrr 2016-12-16 07:57

This isn't my first game jam, but I never particpated a jam that was over 12 hours before.

The camera angle is indeed good feedback, I changed it a bit in testing and the best fix is to remove a certain chair and to cut holes in high furniture.

It has been quite insightful in terms of usability to make this :)

mrwillowb 2016-12-22 05:10

I found some poo. lol'd alot

nusan 2016-12-22 23:03

Nice game, I liked the puzzle idea. The goal was a bit confusing at first. But once the rules understood, it's quite fun to plan the spreading !

jupiter_hadley 2016-12-29 17:00

Funny game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/hYD1PzuDX-0

samuelsousa 2016-12-29 20:10

Fun poop spreading game, very comic take on the theme.
Sound is a little annoying.

How many levels are there I must of played 40 diferent settings.

thygrrr 2016-12-30 19:24

Thanks Jupiter! :-)

SamuelSousa: There are 20 difficulty levels, and all levels after the 20th stay the same path length. (optimum difficulty is actually around 15 or so)

ellian 2017-01-03 00:30

... This is a game about spreading dog poop as a ruumba.
11/10.

No seriouly, it's a very very solid entry. Super fun, puzzles are simple but work well, the graphics are great and it's dumb and funny as heck. Love it!
