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 :)
Thanks Guys, Yeah if the king falls through the floor then the game is over. thats when he dies. if i had time i would have made a gameover screen https://youtu.be/xfe_jX813DU
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!
weird game. Not really sure what to do int it, but interesting for sure.
This is the crappiest game I've played so far? I mean that in a good way.
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 :)

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