TOUCH MY POOBY by sxmn

[raw]
made by sxmn for LD32 (COMPO)
what is a pooby? i don't know, i can only describe it

cool facts about this game:
-coded in java
-plays like a really bad SNL sketch
-probably the greatest game to ever exist within a folder on my desktop called "LD32"
-i thought it was funny at first but now it seems dumb and i wasted a whole weekend

What can a man accomplish in 48 hours? Nothing. Nothing good, at least. But a man CAN destroy his own life in seconds. I give you TOUCH MY POOBY -- a work of art in secret universes, to be cherished only under old earth or in deep abysses beyond the horizon of sight and sound.

IGN and Gamespot were right. How much did you give them for such an accurate review? Jokes aside this is better than you'd expect given the... tenuous grasp on sanity apparent from the intro. A simple clicker that doesn't take too long to beat and has just enough to keep you interested for the few minutes it takes to play to completion. Good work.

Game seems to have a nice twist from the cookie clicker style it seems to be based on. Background fits well with the interesting story, and instructions are really not needed.

The enemies left was confusing at first as I thought the person in the bottom right corner was an enemy (especially since he seems to disappear when I click him), but I quickly figured out how the game and upgrades work.

Beat the game in 351 seconds, and it was certainly entertaining for said period.
Good job.

You know, I was expecting something pretty bad. But, this was actually enjoyable and really funny. Great work xD

You already had me cracking up in the description, and I felt you at "-i thought it was funny at first but now it seems dumb and i wasted a whole weekend" :P. I also can't help but wonder what the ultimate meaning of pooby, or poobis as those in the know call it, is...

Took me 199,78 seconds. Full on glass cannon is the One True Path.

It was great.

Instructions unclear. Now I have to clean up this mess all over my keyboard...

This is what will finally kill the Pokemon series. Kids will be running around with Poobys filling their pockets, trying to collect them all, worrying their parents by yelling "I wanna touch your Pooby!", battling Poobys and Hatmans in the back alley behind the convenience store that mommy said to avoid. Yeah. It's gonna be GREAT!

My god, I touched a lot of Poobis. I feel quite enlightened now, one with the universe. Or at least one with your Pooby, which I touched. Many times.

I actually did have a lot of fun with this weird game. You have a strange sense of humor, and I like it!

I'd never been asked to touch another man's pooby before so I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not. I'm happy to report, however, that I loved every minute of it! I should listen to my heart and my ass more often.

I thought this game might just be a quirky novelty but it was a genuinely fun experience with an excellent atmosphere all of its own. Thanks for making it!
