Hardest bathroom I've ever had to find.

peed.jpg the backrooms if im not mistaken had the hum from the neonish office lights. but i think you forgot to put those in. a funny entry.

mrbrainfed 2022-04-06 22:58

@jcmonkey Thanks for playing! I wonder what went wrong, because i did infact put those in.

I think I got carpal tunnel from mashing the spacebar

vicsparkz 2022-04-07 00:31

I did it!

Took me a little while to realise I had to use the mouse to look :facepalm:

Cool little 3D game! I'm sure you'll be able to reuse this 3d code for some future projects :)

Glad I peed in a toilet LOL

One of the most clever takes I've seen on the theme thus far. Excellent job on a first time 3D game. Controls fight you a bit, but it seems like that's part of the purpose. A little indication towards the objective could go a long way. But fun little game!

Great entry. I would suggest making an alternative control for holding it in since some people have difficulty with button smashing mechanics, it's always nice to implement some kind of accessibility.

roolow 2022-04-07 01:58

Very clever. I use a left handed mouse, so I could really only effectively spam the spacebar with my pinky finger, which was physically uncomfortable. But it made me want to find the bathroom really bad! Absolutely genius.

It's an alright little game. I liked simple 3D graphics.

jaspior 2022-04-07 02:54

In a real backroom, I would pee at any corner lmao. I loved the idea of this game, nice work!

:joy_cat: OMG can't stop laughing for the first minute when I played.

After that I felt drama and suspense, and when I couldn't find the toilet and pee-bar was full, I just stand humbly accepting my fate whith closed eyes :pensive:

But I did it from the second attempt! :triumph:

Hilarious and funny, thanks for the game!

gandelianna 2022-04-07 11:38

It's really unexpected theme for game)))

mrbrainfed 2022-04-07 12:24

@junklab @fc85057 @roolow @batkoi @jaspior @niklas-zhaga @gandelianna Thank you guys for playing! Glad you liked it. @lex Thanks for the suggestion! I am looking into improving the game a little bit post-jam and adding accessibility features will definitely be on the list. Thanks for your feedback!

Lol, this game made me laugh, what a good idea for this topic xD (Also, I managed to find it on the first try - yay! :D Normally I'm never this lucky, I pee myself all the time :( jk ^^)

This was cute and I liked the cellshading :) Music in the credits was fancy, y no music during the game?! ^^

In any way, nice entry for a single person :)

mrbrainfed 2022-04-08 22:55

@angiemon Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

simba 2022-04-09 22:57

Who designed this place?

It's a cute game, nice work!

applestreet-games 2022-04-09 23:12

I could not find the bathroom. My pants are more urine than fabric now after several attempts.

Thank you for sharing!

mrbrainfed 2022-04-10 02:01

@simba @applestreet-games Thanks for playing guys!

daniel-username 2022-04-10 14:59

"lol you peed yourself" made me crack up. I really like the art style. It reminds me of old school windows screensavers. Someone needs to arrest the architect who made this place though.

zantze 2022-04-10 15:14

I think finding a bathroom if you're in the backrooms would be the least of your worries :grin:

mrbrainfed 2022-04-10 16:39

@daniel-username Glad you found the message funny! It's a trend in all my games to put messages like those in the lose screen.

don-fouts 2022-04-12 04:14

Interesting entry, I like the style though the hum of lights is a little loud. I think if it was toned down a bit it could help accent the knocking/foot steps. I like the style and the mechanic to spam space bar does give the feeling of struggling. Great work!

suchista 2022-04-13 11:02

LMAO this is too funny. I enjoyed it greatly. Awesome idea!

mrbrainfed 2022-04-13 17:23

@zantze @don-fouts @suchista Thanks for playing the game! I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. @don-fouts Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely look into it if I update the game.

teto 2022-04-14 17:01

Wow, I could not find it for the life of me xD Was a really cool take on the theme and orginal. I liked the background hum too. I agree with some previous comments that the controls could be made a little more friendly but I also guess that's part of the idea! Maybe just having the option of using arrow keys to move or another hold it in option as well may make it more user friendly. Overall, well put together and functions well with a great sense of humour!

jk5000 2022-04-14 17:16

A funny little game idea.

necdilzor 2022-04-14 19:52

Always find where the bathroom is before you get the urge haha It was a fun game. 10/10 would piss myself again

mrbrainfed 2022-04-15 02:28

@teto @jk5000 @necdilzor Thanks for the kind reviews! It makes me happy that people get enjoyment from what I make and I cherish all the reviews- even the bad ones. Prior to uploading the game I did spend way too long tweaking the buzz volume but I guess i didn't turn it down enough. I'll definitely visit that next time I update the game! :thumbsup:

cary-stanley 2022-04-15 18:08

Took me 3 attempts (and not sure I could find it again), but "I did it" I peed in a toilet!!

What an awesome idea for the theme! Spaming space to hold your pee is a hilarious mechanic

How did you make a game related to my most common nightmare!!? :grin:

mrbrainfed 2022-04-16 15:32

@cary-stanley Thanks for the kind words!

mrchickenboy 2022-04-16 16:42

I couldn't actually find the toilet lol, I had fun with this game though! Nice SFX

mrbrainfed 2022-04-19 17:21

@mrchickenboy Thanks for playing! I'm glad you like the SFX
