Toilet humor...hooray.
Despite the immature subject matter, this could have been a pretty decent little puzzle-platformer. But alas, it missed the mark and ended up being so adequate it was bad.
The generic music, the use of meme "rage faces", and the theme come together like a sandwich made out of ingredients that should be good, but have gone bad. The idea here is rushing to the bathroom, but the platforms and setting hold no connection. White platforms on a grid paper background. Even to spruce them up to appeal to the "bathroom" theme would have improved this game for me drastically. The lively, free-use classical music sounds more like a superhero game than a game about not having an accident in your pants. The rage faces are jarring, too. Why are they here? There's not any mention of any Internet colloquialisms. There isn't even a lot of wit, just poop jokes. You could have easily drawn your own face on the small white circle and removed that element entirely. It adds to the "cut and paste", "minimum effort" feel of this game.
As for core gameplay, even that falls under the 'adequate' category. The controls are responsive enough, but they feel slippery and loose in a game that sometimes requires very precise jumping. There are controls like "Fancy Pants Adventures", which are slippery but add to the overall urgency and difficulty of that fast-paced game. And then there are controls like..well take your pick of many platformers, where the character does not slide after moving, and neither to objects. This game feels like a terrible amalgamation of both. You end up with slippery controls that feel really heavy. I also noticed that the jump height of the character seems to change on reloading levels; some levels that I could not continue due to a platform being just out of reach were beatable upon reloading and retrying. That was a really weird inconsistency. But even with the alternating height, jumping still feels sluggish and slow, like trying to jump without actually having any momentum.
Overall, this game is playable but adequate at best. There are platformers that do it better, and ones that do it worse. And that's what makes this game so bad. It's a heap of very forgettable and boring elements that come together for a bland game about excrement and toilets that offers nothing unique at all.
