Control a toilet clerk and offer your services to the customers in exchange for tips. You must replenish the toilet paper and unclog the WCs. If there are 4 or more WCs either clogged or with no toilet paper, you will lose your job.

Try your best to fulfill the customer's needs!

Good luck :)

* We haven't had enough time to fix all bugs in time, but we will do so in the next few days. Follow the updates here at the LD website and at https://sandclockstudio.itch.io/shit-happens

Game developed by Sandclock Studio and Vicky Khon

-----------------------------------------------------------

*EDIT: We've decided to port the game to Unity to be able to develop it further with fewer unnecessary headaches. This is beyond LD scope, so it would be unfair to consider it part of it, but since we've got some really nice feedback (gazillion thanks to everyone :D), we want all of you to play the game and get the best experience out of it!

We will be uploading the fully playable version to https://sandclockstudio.itch.io/shit-happens

Play long and prosper!

Didn't appreciate the name of this game, surely you could have thought of a better title?

Khud013 Dec 2016, 16:04

I touched the men and got this error:

I wish I could explore the full potential of the game!

Mark Ffrench13 Dec 2016, 16:37

Darn, I'm getting the same error as Khud0... I liked the music, opened it up outside of the game to give it a listen :)

Hovester13 Dec 2016, 16:38

The game crashed 2 times in 5 minutes :(
Nice Graphics :)

nikitapash13 Dec 2016, 16:42

The idea is very weird

codeck13 Dec 2016, 16:44

I'm programmer for sandclockStudios. Sorry for the crashes in our version the game doesn't crash. We are trying our best to try to fix this error and upload a version that doesn't crash. Sorry :(

codeck13 Dec 2016, 16:46

We made the entire engine in c++ in 72 hours. And we are trying to deal with the decision xD In a few hours the game will be reuploaded with som bug fixes.

rainssong13 Dec 2016, 17:01

stuck on load

Darkhaul13 Dec 2016, 17:01

A bit buggy with several crashes and glitches. The idea was nice but not excecuted brilliantly. With development could be cool :)

hnzlmnn13 Dec 2016, 17:10

Game crashes if you walk over a "customer".

Dagorlad13 Dec 2016, 17:15

Wierd idea, but interesting in some way. It needs some less crashing

Uliana Galich13 Dec 2016, 17:24

Nice concept and cool graphics

Cole Chittim13 Dec 2016, 17:33

Really enjoyed the idea. This is a very different take on the theme and I thought it was great. Would've loved to play it more but it seemed to crash after about 20 seconds each time. However,considering you made this engine in 72 hours along with the game, I'd say the crashes are pretty acceptable and expected. Great job!

vrojmanauthor13 Dec 2016, 19:06

We fixed main crashes so now you can play. There are still problems with the IA, but hopefully we will fix in the next hours. Sorry for everything :(

Hamichi Lim13 Dec 2016, 19:08

Bug is the main problem for now

slizer13 Dec 2016, 19:27

Oh nice! the concept is funny and the graphics are cool! It's a little bugged, but playable. I enjoyed it :)

stupidmindlessf13 Dec 2016, 19:57

I liked the look and what I saw so far but couldn't rate it because it kept crashing on me.

@stupidmindlessf The current version uploaded is tested in different computers and this crash is not happening anymore. Try to clean the cache of the browser and download again :3

Karatorian13 Dec 2016, 22:31

The "web" link doesn't actually point at a web version of the game (as far as I can tell), which it is supposed to.

Michalidis13 Dec 2016, 22:36

Can't even get past the first level because the last guy does not want to moonwalk out of the bathroom :(
Anyway I like how the people just teabag the toilet :D :D What a take on the "One Room" theme :D

Nonakesh13 Dec 2016, 22:42

It may literally be toilet humor, but I think the basic idea was kind of funny. I just wish the game was less buggy. Well, at least now you know why probably everybody else used a game engine instead. It's just a lot easier and more efficient. Kudos for trying though!

dobnarr13 Dec 2016, 22:44

Cool music. Hard to figure out the controls, but eventually I got it. I never seemed to earn much money - I'd get a few points, but then they'd rapidly sink to zero even though everybody had TP and was unplugged. It glitched on me a couple times too, as others have said. The art was neat, and the background music very cooo.

somnolentPumpkin13 Dec 2016, 22:58

This was a very interesting concept - unfortunately one of the men got stuck leaving the stall and I wasn't able to progress further in the game.

Having made my own game engine in C++ previously, I completely understand how fickle they can be, so don't be too hard on yourselves for the bugs. :)

Pepejson13 Dec 2016, 23:02

Good game, however there was a bug with toilet and I couldnt clean it and lost my tip, well, shit happens.

slimabob13 Dec 2016, 23:31

Very interesting concept, but I ran into an issue where the men would get stuck and just walk in place.

andyman40414 Dec 2016, 00:11

Great job on the game. It ran fine for me in Windows 10 for the most part; one customer did get stuck outside of a stall, but the other customers were able to keep going. Well done.

jramell14 Dec 2016, 01:59

Not a bad game, but it feels incomplete. I suggest having the default selected button in the main menu be "start" instead of "exit"; Selecting buttons in the main menu feels kind of laggy.

Also, I played for a few minutes and only saw one type of NPC. Not sure if that is a bug. However, it's not a bad game overall.

TomBoogaart14 Dec 2016, 18:08

sic kgame

Kalm00414 Dec 2016, 18:25

The concept is cool. The gameplay is too slow for me and the game have some bugs. I like the animation when you use the plumber.

Skruffye14 Dec 2016, 18:26

I honestly never thought that watching balding, middle aged men aggressively going to the toilet could be so entertaining.

Pretty great game, minus some of the bugs (the cubicle of doom ate most of my customers and I spent way too much time plunging the floor into submission) and I thought that the score went down a bit too quickly each time a toilet needed plunging.

Not sure if there's an end goal, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself playing this--great job! :)

Iak14 Dec 2016, 18:37

yeeaah, glitched myself out of the game... ..can't "x" out either, but ESC works... also, control descriptions would haev been nice

frankuko14 Dec 2016, 18:48

Good game. i liked the art and the idea is very fun. GG =D

GoofStudios14 Dec 2016, 19:40

Was an interesting game. Quite a few bugs that I ran into such as people getting stuck and what not, but hey, shit happens I guess.

bigbuggames14 Dec 2016, 20:08

Quite funny game. I really liked the theme and ambientation! Keep it up! It could be a good idea for a future retail game!

Almax2714 Dec 2016, 20:22

Cool game, a little unstable though :(

vg_iba14 Dec 2016, 21:47

That was a good use of the theme, but there we're a few bugs. Fixing that it can be a good game.

Saiodin15 Dec 2016, 08:51

Neat graphics and audio. The gameplay seemed to be very slow tho, often I had waiting times where I would just stand around. At the beginning one of the game I had one NPC getting stuck on a door for the rest of the game. The man with the blue shirt was also the only NPC appearing for minutes.

Stylo2115 Dec 2016, 09:52

Very buggy, but cool concept.

tylerraz15 Dec 2016, 23:55

Funny idea. Keep at it.

akai_0okami16 Dec 2016, 21:46

Nice graphics. Game is a bit buggy though, had customers getting stuck in stall doors and the game window wouldn't close when I clicked on 'x', had to press Escape to exit.

panurge17 Dec 2016, 12:56

Nice little panic game. I liked the visuals, chilled soundtrack and general concept. The plunger animation was especially nice. :)

Unfortunately there still seem to be quite a few bugs. I found my character hopping about the screen a bit on certain animations until he finally got stuck at the left-hand side and I couldn't get him back. Great fun while it lasted though!

freyby17 Dec 2016, 15:46

Music is top-tier, graphics looks nice, but there too many bugs, like people leaving the toilet by moonwalking (I dunno why but i laught so hard :D), or two people getting in one toilet at the same time. But besides that it's a pretty good game.

DOXM18 Dec 2016, 09:56

I like the graphics and the soundtrack. Cool game!

AcuadoyStudios18 Dec 2016, 19:33

Hey, I liked your game it was actually fun.
You can improve the audio and the graphics at some point but overall not bad!
And please go and try out my game!

GoofStudios18 Dec 2016, 21:45

Pretty sure this game gave me a trojan. Can't be positive, but windows defender detected one as soon as I ran this, be careful.

Sandclock Studioauthor19 Dec 2016, 10:50

It's not a trojan. Please read the description. This game is made with c++ with an own engine Which means that the software is ours. NOT LICENSED. So windows detected the exe as an external source. The antivirus analyze it but it's not corrupted or will damage your computer.
So please stop saying things like that, because you are hurting the game with no reason, only because you don't know some kind of things.
I hope i clarify everithing :)

Palarus20 Dec 2016, 17:07

I liked a lot! Nice touch of humor. Also I appreciate to see games make from custom Engines, for my that's a plus. Also the art is quiet good. Good work!

Coomzy20 Dec 2016, 21:28

Nice graphics and the music was kinda relaxing, not much to say for the gameplay buggy. Although making all of this from scratch (no engine) in the time is pretty impressive.

PolygonTeam21 Dec 2016, 22:16

can't play. error. art on screenshots nice!

Green Soda29 Dec 2016, 01:56

Great take on a Management game! It's funny and the concept is awesome :))
Had fun playing
