ShitStorm by BubbleTea

made by BubbleTea for LD27 (COMPO)

NOTES: Was made to play in fullscreen at 1920x1080 resolution, not sure how it translates as i never tested it otherwise. The only version i know works for sure is the windows one. ALL DOWNLOAD LINKS ARE ZIPS.

edit: Just noticed the mute button quits the game, i accidentally had the quit script attached >.> uploaded the fixes meow!

Hey Everyone!

This was my first Ludum Dare! I actually did a surprising amount, and more then i expected i would do! i just really enjoyed the theme i guess :D

When the theme was announced, i started working right away that night! My original idea was a simple 2d puzzle/platformer game that revolved around the player having 10 seconds to get to the washroom. That quickly evolved when i accidentally made the "poo" function shoot out copious amounts of waste! With a few alterations to the controls, i quickly had a new game and started designing around the main mechanic. Less then 48 hours later here i am, presenting to you SHITSTORM!

I opened the game fully expecting it to be awful, but you took what could have been a cheap joke and actually developed it in some interesting ways. Good job, overall.

Surprisingly polished. Surprisingly fun.

a little hard to play at lower resolutions (it crops the borders) but this is pretty entertaining -- the physics are pretty fun, and there's a lot in there for what could have been a throwaway gag.

That was pretty silly! Your mechanic was shit...literally, and moving back and forth trying to propel myself up had me laughing each time. There is a bit of a problem with the "finish line" in that sometimes you get stuck on the top lip of the model and the gravity usually don't push you down fast enough to reach it before the timer ends. Very funny, and I never want to eat these 5 cent "Takos".

This is the right amount of terrible.

Haha, nice sound effects. I like how you can shit your way up. Very funny! For some reason I couldn't see the end of the level and the buttons were all messed up, so I couldn't click them very well (on Linux).

ROFL! I haven't laughed that hard in years! Well done! SoundFX totally made the game!

To everyone having resolution problems, im completely sorry for that :( I made the game without thinking about scaling at all, i might go ahead and fix that up for a post build later if anyone actually enjoys the game enough! Thanks for all the feedback everyone!

My highest rated game so far. rofl. loved this! I would love to see some other maps with increasingly complex puzzle mechanics!

The controls felt a bit wonky at times, but it was fun for a while. After a couple of levels though, I was wishing the Mute button would work. Although I am not a big fan of this kind of humour, the gameplay was interesting, so well done on that :D

@GSM Productions sorry about that! The mute originally worked on day one, but i screwed around with audio on the last day and forgot to make sure it still worked. Glad you still tryed it out and thanks for the feedback :)

Interesting game. You get stuck in blocks too often.

Mixed feeling on scoring graphics, you clearly put work into them but they just did not turn out very good

I don't know what the worst thing is : the awful noise, the brown poop thingies, or the fact that the game is actually interesting, enjoyable and challenging XD
Good job here !

My biggest complaint is that a game this obnoxious shouldn't also be this demanding. I heard that fart noise a LOT before I gave up, LOL.

I agree with Ossi and GSM Productions. This is hilarious and I really like the game overall but I wasn't able to beat it because I kept getting stuck on top of the goal in level 8, but it looks like a big part of that may have been my lower screen resolution, as the goal was cutoff and difficult to see.

I'm VERY impressed that this was your first LD, good job! :D

I have to admit that the idea is rather gross, but other than that good game :)
