SecretOfPoop.png

Darkness sweeps the troubled drain as, sewage’s power fades... People sitting on their porcelain throne unsuspecting... Shit, Dookie, Feces... The Poop has many names, for it has been celebrated in emojis and poems throughout time, but all of these speak to just one: Poop of the Poop

Defeat the Poop! Collect Chocolate to survive!

(NOTE: It’s not balanced, you can’t poop at the moment.)

Controls
Movement: WASD
Interact: E or Right Mouse
Attack: Space or Left Mouse

UPDATE: We added a HTML5 WebGL (Unity) Version on Itch.io

Your title screen for this was amazing. You managed to make poop so incredibly epic. you have nailed the feel of the old 90s era games.

Very nice art and sound. (is a sentence I never though I'd say about poop). Btw, chocolate, really? :D

You beat piles of poop to get chocolate. Need I say more?

Man, that title screen!!! Amazing.

It just felt like it lacked something, maybe you just didn't have the time to finish ( I faced that as well).
I tried to read the sign, it would be cool to have something there, the box opened but it was blank.

Nice one, it was good to play =)

I can't wait for the eventual sequel, "Legend of Poop", with its amazing art and focus on making your own world of poop.

The game definitely made me laugh and has an awesome intro and aesthetic. Loved that the dodo dropped chocolate. I guess if I was to criticize it, it would be neat to have an indicator that you are getting hurt other than health going lower and perhaps maybe a score tracker of how many poops you smash. Other than that, game was fun to play and is awesome the way it is.

@maybe Thanks! We had run into some problems with the new unity tile map system, so we were running out of time at the end. The Sign has something to say ;-) But it has a typewriter effect, that takes a small amount to get the message written. I wouldn't tell whats written there, as i don't want to spoil it ;-)

@ciderwrath Thanks! It was really fun to make it and we will see that we find the time to finish it. We had some really nice ideas we wanted to add but due to the short time we had over the weekend it was left out.

Hi shame it is not finishable, I could see a great parodic action rpg (nice title screen and music, funny physics )

Well done! It is really polished for what it actually is. I love the artstyle. Too bad the gameplay isn't much more than spamming LMB and sometimes walk around to collect chocolate. Beating turds has never been so much fun. Good job!

Pretty fun game, would have loved to see it more finished. Nice background music (y)

I would never survive in this world. I would refuse to eat the chocolate.

Anyhow, your title screen was amazing, even if the game itself felt a little bare-bones.

Too much hp for eash poop. Good work though!

Interesting and funny idea. Has a lot of the window dressing of a completed game, just wish there was a bit more to the mechanics (nothing too crazy--I can appreciate the simplicity of the concept overall :)). I hope you update and finish it. :) Have a great LD!

I'd really love to have a winning condition (maybe I missed it?).

For example, killing so many poops to climp upon them to the next level - this would make it worth duplicating them and killing them!

And by the way... I would never eat chocolate dropped out of some poop... xD

The intro screen looked amazing! The game itself lacks some kind of variance. Would be nice if there were some waves or some kind of achievment once you clear out a couple of those poops.
Also why do they drop chocolate? :O

You parodied my favourite game ! Haha I included it in my jam review there : https://youtu.be/Z-H-WO1iqss?t=267 It's in french but ask me for translation if needed :)

But wait, what was the secret? This game needs flavors! Fallout-ish boy surviving in the living poo-sewers. Hey, if the music was a bit Arcanum-like, this would just be rock-crazy!
