🔗 Share this article Diving into an Bizarre Steam Demo: Controlling a Turdy Character on a Quest to Arrive at the Toilet Steam Next Fest is in full swing, and enthusiasts have discovered plenty of entertaining creations from small studios. Yet, one stands out for its quirky concept. Titled Unko Technica, this retro-inspired side-scrolling game features a hero that is actually a piece of poop trying to make its way to a toilet. For those curious, "Unko" is Japanese for "poop." The gameplay is easy to grasp: you only need a one button to leap. Throughout one hundred fifty stages, battle tough enemies and unlock a market to purchase skins for your poop character. Time your jumps with caution, since one wrong move forces restarting the level. Bounce using floating orbs to launch your character upward, traverse disappearing platforms, and activate buttons to open secret routes. Gather currency for buying more difficult levels in which the action gets crazy. Visually, the experience features eye-catching environments and an amazing background music. The retro graphics of moving basic polygons could recall players of old favorites like Earthbound. While it's hard to recall previous releases where you play as a dung character, video games frequently included fecal matter. As an illustration, in Death Stranding, you can craft throwables from character droppings. Games like Palworld and Ark: Survival Evolved use feces as plant food. Naturally, this theme appears a lot in Obsidian's adventure The Stick of Truth. Regardless of its humorous idea, Unko Technica has already earned significant recognition, such as being named best at Bandai Namco's game competition in 2023. The demo is accessible now on Steam, with the complete version scheduled to debut on computers in the fall.
