Nice job! The music was a bit repetitive but that's okay. Interesting choice of unconventional weapon, hehe.

The controls took a short while to get used to, and it was a bit hard to get around while you are buried in shit. XD Other than that, good job!

Good Work. I like the poo piles that build up making a mess every where.

This game is really crazy xp So crazy my king suddenly fell from the floor to oblivion and the game continued xp
Controls were a bit difficult but still good job!

I was wondering when throwing shit at my enemies was going to come up, well done, was a lot of fun, I found a way to cheat a little though, push the potato into a corner then pile the crap on, slugs cant get close. Nicely done, I spent a fair bit of time with it :)

That was a cute potato over there! Nice job pal =D

I only would suggest more smooth moves, the player is moving too fast!

funny! jumping was a bit hard, but the shooting felt nice. I also pushed the potato over.

A great first effort - bit simple and repetitive in the long run, but everything works pretty nicely, and rolling the useless king around made me laugh.

Suggestion: Make controls keyboard only, since the player is not using the mouse for aiming. Aside from that, a pretty cool, simple game. I wish the theme was used better though, like different types of feces, you have normal lumps that you shoot, then you have a diarrhea "beam" attack, etc. Graphics were cute, shoot sound effect was okay.

Good luck!

This is the crappiest game I've played so far? I mean that in a good way.

Right click to jump is really ... unconventional.

The collision needs a bit of fixing, sometimes the enemies will fall thrugh the floor and one time the Potato King did it. Otherwise some feedback when you hit the enemies would be nice.

The slugs fall through the floor when they die or touch the potato king and the potato king falls through when he dies.

I really like it.
Also great post mortem - timelapse and gameplay and comments. Three thumbs up.
Also, you used poo as a weapon too. Another thumb up :)
