We are proud to announce our first game for ludumdare.com!
You are a Fecalator from "Dogma" movie. Your goal is to reach an Exit from the sewer pipeline. It's not so easy! You need to go through 3 levels in 10 seconds each. You need to eat poos and avoid flowers and butterflies - your enemies.
Every poo gives you a second, every enemy - takes your 2 seconds.
We didn't add a lot of levels but we will do it tomorrow or a bit later :-)
Your win is to appear in the World. Let's start the game and good luck from 7bits team! Enjoy!

That was interesting... It is very skill based, and I liked that.It feels a bit like the 3 lives system is a bit overdoing it... but I guess it just adds to the challenge
The levels seem... messed up? There's no way at all avoid the flowers on some levels. It was really odd. Also you say "kill em all!" in the description, but there's no attack...
Great graphics and music. The mechanics feel a bit clunky. I did not make it through as the game is quite tough, but is there only this one level with different amounts of enemies? But overall a nice game!
As someone who makes generally vile games I love this. The graphics are lovely too. I won't nitpick the lack of animation, cos the cardboard cutout style works REALLY well here. Great work :)
Plenty of fun, especially having to turn around to shoot. It looks fantastic, too! Unfortunately, the game would always kill me three times on the third level, even if I didn't die at any point and cleared all the enemies in the level.
Great game. It took me a few goes at first because I didn't realise touching the flowers was costing me time - that could have been a little clearer. Overall a nice fun entry :)
I loved the game XD Really funny, in a world full of poop. :P I included this game in my video compilation of LD27 games, if you wanna check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQmE1DEkQd4
Lol, this game was fun! Nice graphics and I liked how you have to turn around to shoot. The whole poo is good, flowers and butterflies are bad, was clever :)
Its probably just me, but I kept wanting to press something else to jump instead of up. My fingers kept getting mixed up. The difficulty otherwise seemed right on for me. Would have enjoyed more levels!
Thanks for comments, friends, our team is really happy that you liked our game! I'm sorry that gameplay sometimes is not very fast and not well tested, you know - it is hard to support all kinds browsers/platforms and keep everything stable.
davidwparker, we had never used melonjs before, but it was very easy to start and learn. Library allows you to focus on the game features, and you shouldn't care much about low-level graphics and music implementation details… it brilliant for fast start!
This game is shit! Literally! XD I loved the art and the sound! But it seems to spike in difficulty. Maybe you should avoid the 3 lives concept and make it a "try till you decide to quit" structure.
I like the graphics, like the idea, definitely has potential! I'm not a HUGE fan of poop-based games, but at least you have a solid premise and goal, right? :) I would work on easing in on the difficulty, at least make it possible to jump the first flower without getting dinged. People like not dying right at the beginning. :)
I like the art style. It took me a while to understand that you have to shoot the obstacles to get past them. I like the enemy progression, but I wish that each level were designed differently than the last. Also, there didn't seem to be much use for crouching, as the only area you can access with it will trap you there.
Great graphical and sound polish for a short amount of time. Facing backwards before shooting adds novelty, and POO!
Would be nice to control the height of the jump for tricky shots (like butterflies). I didn't know how to get out of the little crawl space with the poo on the first level, as I couldn't jump when crouched.
Shiiite! (literally) It was quite challenging at the start, but when i found out i had infinite poop shots, i got really easy (i thought i could only shoot the poop i had picked up- that might be an idea for better balance). Could be cool with more levels :) Lovely art and sound. Great game, i enjoyed it :D
A piece of shit - is wonderful! Never thought I'd say this someday)))Very cool, nice, exciting, ridiculous - fun! Butterflies are really evil! Shit, shit and shit again, shit forever, immortal shit!!!!
Very pretty but too static graphics/art. The sound is fine, the music a bit annoying after a while. The gameplay and mechanics are to frustrating for me. All in all a very, very diry game :D
Not bad there. The visual and the game feel polished overall, even though it's still blocky around the edges : the butterfly and flower placement are quite punitive considering that the bear jumps and falls quite fast and that they are quite small.

Nice graphics, nice sound but.. disgusting background.
I think the speed on the fecalator is a bit slow. I couldn't get further than halfway across the screen in 10 seconds.
I also agree with the person who said it's quite hard to avoid the obstacles. The first flower in level 1 is pretty hard to avoid.
Kept feeling that jump and fire keys were swapped though.
5 starts for humor mood and humor ;)
made me laugh quite a bit GG!
How did you like melonjs?

Good job on the game!
