Really interesting concept? :laughing: The title also reminds me of the movie "What about Bob?"

Such a hilarious game. If the graphics and sound were more polished I don't think it would be as good.

Lol, thanks! I'm still working on this. I just published to see what it looks like. Please check back in about 1.5 hours. I hope to improve a few things.

Lelel 15. Thanks for asking. )

I really wanted to give 5 for humour, but then again this is mostly poop humour. So here - have 5 for mood instead. :)

:poop: Funny game! :poop:

Level 15 btw.

Loved it, the sound design leading you to bob is one of the coolest things I've seen in a game in a while. Yes, I'm on a first name basis with bob now.

Agree with the others, good game with good sound and mechanics.

xmatos 2021-04-26 08:50

Interesting mechanic. In many of the levels I didn't get to actually "play", because I would get to the target before actually having to navigate with the sound. I wonder if the game would benefit from a larger area to solve this. Anyway, good work and good luck.

Such a silly concept, love it!

I liked the little conversations, they are definitely the highlight for me. The searching itself is not very fun by itself, once the jokes stopped, I had no motivation to keep going, so I made it to level 15.

The piano could maybe have a slightly higher range as the level gets bigger. That would provide more clues on where to search. Also it could maybe increase and decrease pitch in smaller intervals so it's a bit harder. That way it might have some potential in ear training for musicians :wink:

Am I just a giant little immature boy at heart!?? I played this to Lvl 20 and loved it! Nice use of audio to find good ol' Bob. Thanks for the game!

loooooolll

I'll always click a cartoon poop-themed game. That was hilarious

fussenkuh 2021-04-27 18:21

Hahahah... stupid poop humor with a bit of nerd humor on the side?!? What's not to like! I never thought I'd be so amused searching through a pile of dung. The audio searching was a nice touch. Well done!

Fun idea with the audio, and who doesn't like poop jokes? Played for 15 levels, some of them were kind of short as Bob was almost next to the starting point.

jaybaus 2021-04-27 21:03

I loved the humour, the use of music was satisfying as well when the melody came to a conclusion when you found Bob. Also I got to level 16 :)

Very silly game with a bunch of crappy puns :D!

Very solid end result that was an enjoyably groan worthy pun trip. I enjoyed the incremental or should I say excremental stages of poop making it that much of a trip to find dear Bob and get our reward of a pun.

I made it to level 15 since you said on stream the puns stopped there :D.

Great job at making a finishing product in such a short amount of time.

(And I really like the easter egg/easter elephant's face which I won't spoil for anyone here!)

I'm really bad at differentiating pitch, so I think having smaller interval between playing notes would help me notice the difference in pitch. Also just playing a chord like that doesn't sound good in my opinion, a melody playing continuously would be a lot better (and I'm sure a lot harder to make work right).

I'm assuming the levels are randomly generated, by I had at least 5 levels where the objective was just at the start of the level. Making the objective smaller with a higher range of notes/chords may have made it more interesting to play and actually have to listen to the sound to find it.

Lol, i had to click on this game just from the title screen alone. Found it very funny, it was a little weird that that ant can walk up into the sky with out being on the poop.

I like the sound in the game and found that you totally took the theme and went in a direction that was totally new and original.

xpoho 2021-04-28 12:40

Level 15. Nice! Sorry for the ant!

incd021 2021-04-28 12:41

Ok, might be my immagture humor, but I had pun.. :laughing: Getting so much out this it's amazing. Nice job :thumbsup:

pvg 2021-04-29 12:46

15 for me, too. This is an amazing interpretation of the theme... and it even includes one of my favorite Eric Idle jokes.

cody-miner 2021-04-29 20:02

I can tell you put a crap ton of effort into this, and it shows. Very funny concept, and not bad gameplay either. I feel bad for the elephant tho... those spikes :(

jonrei 2021-05-02 18:08

I didnt go into this LD thinking id be looking for an ant in elephant poop, but here we are :D Hahaha

bitsandcrafts 2021-05-09 19:07
