FIRST LEVEL

[Snu]

what do I do to stop the butcher gujy from reaching the bicycle??? i've shot all the barrels down and the water towers after I ride passed them.

You can fire poop at a rider's back so he'll go faster.

Pooping on Mum is the key as CrazyDonkey said. Hitting the clown will also slow him. It seems that a lot of folks can't get past this part. Thinking about making it slightly easier and faster paced. What do you guys think?

please i also keep hitting invisible walls when i shoot the water towers

[Oubliette]

Looking into that, thank you. Sniper shot with middle mouse button, then right click might be the best way to hit the towers.

I think you ought to consider making it easier. It's not very self explainatory and even someone that know in advance everything to do struggle to nail it.
It's the first segment most players play so it's best if it's a easy to (akin to anal sex) ease their way in before the hardcore stuff begin.

Also I have a suggestion as a longtime fan that bought copies for many of my friends: It's sometimes very hard to hear the voice acting through the ambient noise. Mayhaps add an option for subtitles that's on by default?

Thanks for the support, and glad you’ve enjoyed the game! You’re probably right about the clown difficulty. We’ve been toying with it for a while, but haven’t quite landed it. We’ll rebalance it on the next patch to make it a little more accessible. Thinking about a head start for the bike, basically.

We still need to tweak a lot of audio levels and such things, balancing the ambient with the VO: any spots in particular the voices were hard to hear? We have been looking into subtitles, and it is a possibility. Thanks much for the feedback, it helps get everything ship shape.

Off the top of my head the part when the clown spins in a circle raving to himself about his true purpose is a bit hard to hear. As well as the poop ship due to the ambient noise.

It's good to see it's being worked on. Love this game!

[Oubliette]

Thanks! Will check those parts out. Starting the work on subtitles overall. They should help out a bunch.

Another vote for making the Impede the Clown part a bit easier. Or maybe after enough tries it takes pity on you and lets you through. I lack the dump dexterity to beat this level, I guess.

I got to the bridge twice now, and it insta-killed me. Not sure why.
Also, when hitting the old lady and I'm under barrel drop points for some reason (though the poo doesn't make contact with the tiny wood planks at all) they drop and kill her alot.
Pretty annoying when I just want to progress the game without missing anything.

[ZCaliber]

I never had any problem stopping the clown... I mean you can snipe him from far beyond the fog.

Zoom in + Right-click will basically give you a sniper shot. Just make sure you destroy the bridge after you go over it. Otherwise it's pretty much game over. Last time I did level 1 I shot the roof of the covered bridge.

Okay heres how I did it (had a giant issue with killing mum... :( )

1.) Shoot the water towers, I don't think they run out or have an effect when they hit mum.

2.) DO NOT shoot he barrels early, you'll kill mum and die instantly. I wait until I'm under it, then shoot upwards. It doesn't seem to do anything to you if the railing falls on ya booty.

3.) Speed up ur mum, shoot her with poop . . . but don't go crazy, because it can fly off and hit a railing making it fall and kill mum.

4.) I never really shot at the clown, or used the shotgun. Just don't miss the other objects to shoot.

5.) DO NOT SHOOT THE BRIDGE TOO EARLY. It's an insta-kill. Shoot it at the end, if you've hit almost all the other breakables, you'll be able to stop the clown easily.
