Sorry, but this is our game.

In a world whose inhabitants mistook the motto for "stuck on a loo", you control flow directions in a totally reasonable sewage system. Pile after pile, once summoned by our hard working cast, awaits your impeccable command over the valves in order to finally reach the abyss of redemption.

Beware of rusty old handles that may not turn in the desired direction, but even more so of worn-out ones that turn on their own. Avoid collision! For if occurring in the wrong place, it may oblige you to shamefully resign and start over. Strategically create closed loops if necessary.

#### Gameplay:
* LEFT MOUSE: select valve
(the red ones cannot be selected)
* WASD or ARROWS: turn selected valve
* RIGHT MOUSE: pan

Route the piles into the abyss


#### Crew:
Game & graphics design: Steffen Fuchslocher
Programming: Steffen Lörch
Music & sounds: Dominik Schubert

Lmaooo these sound effects had me dying throughout the gameplay xD

I hesitate to imagine what you went through to get those sound effects. Interesting take on the theme!

That one made me laugh. Has no problem other than tiny bugs. Great game xd

This is hillarious. Also more fun than I expected initially. The sound effects are perfect.

Great game. Very funny and love the consistency and art style. I was kind of confused on how to play the game at first. I wish there were something in the description or something like that that showed how to play. very chaotic game great work!

Loved this game! Excellent and humorous take on the theme. It was a bit tricky to figure out the controls and to understand the different types of valves at first, but once I figured it out it kept my attention. Turned into a nice puzzle game. I think this could be a fairly decent mobile game if yall ever wanted to try.

I see we aren't the only ones who made poop rhyme with loop hehe

Very funny, nicely created puzzle mechanics. I think clicking on the valves to have them rotate 90 degrees automatically (or to their next available spot) might be nice instead of relying on WASD as a secondary action. I enjoyed it a lot though, nicely done!

The idea is weird, but this game is so good
Tamail6 Oct 2020, 18:31
Okay, this was funny. :laughing: Nice idea, I'd just appreciate some tutorial at the beginning.

Despite of the topic XD the mechanics are good and fun to play. The sound is too explicit for me!

Putting aside the poop, everything in this comes together really well. The music with the art style is awesome!

1st world problems: when you have to buffer poop in loop in order to use only available outlet.

The concept was pretty shitty, really liked it.
Onkel Mo10 Oct 2020, 21:35
Okay, that was fun :)
The ...ambient soundtrack really sets the mood.

Funny game! Music and sound are great. Would be good to have a retry button in case a poop gets stuck in a crucial place. Sometimes a poop seemed to die randomly, is that a bug?

Well done. Perhaps a little long at the start when we have to wait for the poops ^^ The music fit well the mood. Sounds are funny at the beginning, but for me a bit too much on a long play. The difficulty come with the collision when there's too many poops. The fact that a poop stay stuck in the pipe increase the difficulty. It would be nice to have a level select screen. Good entry, nice funny concept.
