I'm not sure how the little dung beetle was able to make a ball of poo this big, but it sure is fun to run around on.
Do you like being insanely frustrated and having very little margin for error? If you do, this is the game for you! It's similar to Getting Over It in that the game is designed specifically for you to fail repeatedly. Some might enjoy that, but to me it was tedious and an absolutely miserable experience, albeit a well-made one. If you used to spend a good chunk of time playing QWOP and enjoy beating your head against a wall, then this game is probably something you would enjoy. But if constantly failing from a very slight mistake due to absolutely unforgiving controls isn't your thing, then steer clear.

Originally I was going to downvote this... then I discovered you can use a controller, and it's SOOOO much easier, and more enjoyable. If you play this with a keyboard, it's incredibly frustrating, in a bad way (this is from someone who loved QWOP and Octodad). With a controller it immediately becomes possible, and I imagine those complaining about the game have only used a keyboard.
Now hear me out, this game isn't complete crap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euUPQHVDX4Q Not Without My Poop is a simple concept with very straightforward mechanics. It's not amazing, revolutionary or anything like that but it at least offers entertainment for the price. The gameplay involves playing as a dung beetle on top of his giant ball of dung and attempting to roll it through levels. This sounds easy, but it's actually pretty dang hard to keep yourself on top of the ball while moving. I actually think the game could stand to be a bit more forgiving in how far you can slide down and still be able to save yourself. Obviously the entire concept of the game is a joke, but it thankfully doesn't only rely on a ball of poop on the screen being the joke. There was effort put in with voice narration and game design to give you a bit more than a singular fecal faux pas. Again it's a very simple concept and game. For $1.00 though you could get at least a half hour of entertainment if not more out of the gameplay. It's a real video game and that's all I ask for these days.

This game has changed my life. I was nothing before this game. My life was terrible and every waking moment was wasted before I played this game. I am a new person. I am a new man. The things I learned during my short time playing this masterpiece of media are far greater than anything I could have learned in school. I owe everything to this game, and so do you. Buy the game, and change your life like I have mine. I've only played this game for 100 hours and I haven't even begun to fully comprehend the true masterpiece that is Not Without My Poop. Here's to 100 more, and beyond.

From the store page: "WARNING: This game might be frustrating, as controlling the dung ball takes significant skill and hand-eye coordination." That quote needs to be changed to "WARNING: Controller strongly recommended.", as this game is next to impossible with keyboard controls. I'm either feeling intentional input lag or it's just a cranky old Unity version running NWMP, as getting beyond level one cannot be done. You have at best one second to correct errant movement by the beetle or you've failed your run, and sometimes even then you'll mess up. Some reviews claim this is Dark Souls hard, I'd wager DS is at least fun as with it you can improve. Not Without is not about skill, rather timing and a fair bit of luck in a game where repeated attempts just become boring real quick. Note if you have a controller and are still interested, Youtube gameplay clips make it appear as though NWMP is fairly easy with one so it might be worth your time in this case.

Someone polished a ball of poop and now you can roll it around. Or don't, and save your $1. ---------------------- This is a positive review with a big warning: Watch really closely the trailers on the store page, because that is the entire game. You're a dung beetle rolling a ball of poop through a series of puzzles. If that's not funny or interesting to you, move along as there's nothing else to see. Mechanically it's a ball rolling physics puzzle, if you let the ball roll too fast you fall off and die, if you roll too slow you won't have the space to begin momentum again and trying to change direction... you'll fall off and die. And that's what you are going to do many times over: fall off and die. The difficulty curve isn't so much a curve as it is a steep cliff at the start that quickly inverts and dumps the cliff on your head. I'm reminded of other frustration simulators like Getting Over It or QWOP. But that's the point, to test your limits at perfecting a particular mechanic and see how far you can go and how quickly. This is definitely not a game for everyone, you have to deeply want a challenge and be willing to put in the time to master it. And the theme is funny (to me) but is obviously going to get old quick even if you laughed at it the first time. But, it's a $1 game that delivers well on what it's trying to do: force you to learn how to roll a ball of poop without going splat. EDIT: Note the game is nearly impossible with a keyboard, you'll want to use a controller to have any real chance at progress, and it still won't be easy. But the analog stick gives you far more control over your speed and turning angles than you'll get from a keyboard. --- Bottom line: It's a $1 game, and you get what you pay for. --- [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38232109/]While you are here, would you consider following my curator page?[/url] [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/kunovega/recommended/]Want to read all of my reviews and not just the curated ones?[/url]
