This was surprisingly fun for a game about falling cow poo, I really enjoyed it! Thought-provoking and fun, great job :)
Really unique game-play core that ties in super well with the themes! legitimately impressed, this was real neat ^^
I can't believe how long I spent on a game about poo. Great gameplay and got the point across. A bit too long for the level to finish but one of my faves (sigh...)
Trust me! I HAVE RAN THE NUMBERS 100x ! It just doesn't add up!!
Haha nah but cool game, love the concept, light hearted but thought provoking
A poop game! Perfect.
Love the concept, love the little puzzles, but the wait for the level to complete is too long.
Other than that, really good work!
I actually absolutely adore this idea. I feel like this game has so much potential and can go so far. And it's such a brilliant visual description of wastage. The music choice is all but perfect. Love the art-style chosen: reminds me of the old-school stick-man flash games that were amazing.
But I do have a few critique where I think there can be improvements:
1. I loved the music played during the level selector scene and I feel like it might sound really good if that continued into the game itself. But that's just a personal opinion xD
2. The gameplay needs a bit of work because there's a lot of idle-time/waiting. I saw a suggestion by Mikatte to take inspiration from pinball-type games and I'm in complete agreement. It'll just mean that there's continuous player involvement instead of having to just sit on our hands and wait for it to get over. Makes it more playable.
3. A speed up button would be really really well or maybe increase the amount of points one gets for catching poop. That'll also help improve the flow of the game.
4. The game is already really impactful, but to make it more, you could also have the river get filled with poop/trash when there's more wastage. It'll add to the already good visuals.
Overall, brilliant game and I loved playing it!
Cow poop pinball! A very humorous and creative concept. Love it! Can be a little bit of a drag while you wait though, would be nice if there were things to do or read. A speed up would be a huge help!
really clear and fun to dive in to!
I like how it's a pinball for poop, but you get to structure it. Also love the poop explosions. I wish the time sped up after about 20% so that there wasn't too much idle time. Or if there was the equivalent of pinball flaps in a last-ditch attempt to re-divert some of the poop. I wonder if you could incorporate known techniques for preventing effluent getting into the water supply. All in all very amusing and satisfying when the erratic poop all lands in the bucket.
I love the aesthetic choice, it is very clean and instructions were clear. I wish there was more to do gameplay wise though as I had to watch for quite some time before reaching next stage. Great job!
I love the theme, poop jokes, yes. The aesthetic is great. Love the art.
I wish there was a little more for me as a player to do.
Love the music, got a nice groove to it.
Well done! Gaem is good! :D
