Unveiling a Unique Steam Game Trial: Playing as a Poop in a Mission to Find the Toilet
Steam Next Fest is currently underway, and players have found numerous interesting independent titles. Yet, one is particularly notable for its offbeat concept. Named Unko Technica, this old-school styled platformer features a hero that is actually a piece of poop striving to navigate to a toilet. In case you're wondering, "Unko" means "poop."
Player controls is easy to grasp: just use a jump control. Throughout 150 stages, you'll face boss fights and visit a market to acquire outfits for your poop character.
Execute your movements precisely, since one wrong move means starting over. Bounce using floating orbs to hurl the poop upward, cross disappearing platforms, and touch switches to open hidden paths. Earn UN-KOINS to purchase tougher stages in which the action gets crazy.
In terms of design, the game shows off eye-catching stages and catchy soundtrack. The retro graphics of moving basic polygons evokes memories of gamers of classic titles like Earthbound.
Even though hard to name previous releases where you control a coiled turd, gaming have long incorporated toilet humor. As an illustration, in Death Stranding, you can make grenades from character waste. Titles such as Palworld and Ark: Survival Evolved employ feces as fertilizer. And of course, fecal references is present heavily in the adventure The Stick of Truth.
Regardless of its humorous premise, Unko Technica has already earned impressive accolades, such as taking top honors at Bandai Namco's GYAAR Studio in 2023. This trial version is accessible now on Steam, with the full game set to launch on computers this November.
