PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
Oh my god what have I done?

The music is pretty good, but the fart noises are fantastic. Most of this game is solid, bug free which is good. The only gripes I have is the fact that the fact the coins respawn makes exploring the level less important, and the seemingly infinite amount of jumping means you can skip certain places.
On the other hand, I farted a door to pieces and it killed an enemy 10/10
Very fun and very well executed. I actually laughed out loud when I saw that you could simply fart the execs in the boardroom to death. Small touches like transforming into a normal dude after going into a phone booth give this a special touch. The music is also excellent.
A couple of minor criticisms: it feels like there should be consequences when you're noticed farting in town. If there were more enemy variation, this would be a little more fun. Otherwise, this might not be the most innovative game, but it's simply great.
Nice work! I normally am not big on fart humor but the sounds and the reactions of the pedestrians and meeting members was cracking me up! The game itself is pretty fun! It wasn't super hard but challenging enough. I really enjoyed the music, it was very well done. The art itself was rough and not very animated but it had a certain charm to it that is appealing. The one thing I really didn't like though was starting all the way from the beginning when you die. Nice work!
This game remind me a lot to "Boogerman" from SNES. Using the farts to move around was fun and the city map where you change your outfit was pretty hilarious ^^
It just needs more content, some challenges and a clear goal(besides upgraddes)
Very nice game. And some people say games aren't art...
Not really into fart jokes but the control is responsive and fun. there's a lot of world and interactions throughout. good job
Omg, I played this waaay too long ;) It's a fun little Metroidvania game with an oddly rewarding progression feel and quite thoughtful level design with a lot of verticality. The music tracks were also nice and collecting coins (especially clusters of them) elicited a very genuine greed-feeling in me.
I really rejoice at the completely pointless board-meeting room where you alienate all members with your super-powered farting despite the Clark-Kent suit and glasses.
I saved the day with my farts, the game told me, and until then I was convinced that fart-jokes are below me. Well played!
I was farting out loud, I mean, laughing out loud with your game. Great!
I am personally not a huge fan of fart humor but even I couldn't help but crack a smile. Mechanically limiting the number of farts and not having the levels respawn would made the game hold my interest more as the challenge and reward for exploring would have been greater. Also even the levels without scrolling allowed you to go up to infinity and my character got stuck once. All and all I was surprised by the size of the game and I enjoyed my brief adventure. Also the changing into normal clothes and the boardroom were a nice touch
Good controls and nice mechanics! I feel it should be either more or less linear, it is kind of in the middle with being open world and linear
He's not the hero we need, but he's the hero we deserve.
10/10.. 10/10... 100/100
Pretty funny! I knew someone was going to use this theme. Love the different upgrades too and the change of attire haha. Good stuff!!
This game was interesting to start with, but the segments with the costume changes really made it for me. Things that had no real gameplay value, but really brought the world a little to life. Good stuff
this was absolutely fabulous - love the farting mechanic - love the powerups - gret job
Well... what can I say... Kent Clark farting in the conference room made my day!

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Sorry, I can't play this, Linux and Web only.
