Where is Bob by ubershmekel

Bob loves visiting his elephant friends. Only problem is they don't really notice he's there and now he's drowning. Can you find and rescue Bob from deeper and deeper piles of dung?
There's this strange piano too. It seems to play higher and higher notes the closer you get to Bob. Must be some sick joke.

I really wanted to give 5 for humour, but then again this is mostly poop humour. So here - have 5 for mood instead. :)
Level 15 btw.
Anyway, good work and good luck.
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:
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 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.
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.
Nice! Sorry for the ant!
Getting so much out this it's amazing. Nice job :thumbsup:
