This morning I released my latest game, Politics. Which is a rhythm game where you play as a farting ass.

I used to have this vague idea for a game where there was just an ass on the screen and when you click it it farts, but I couldn’t really figure out what the game actually was beyond this small visual. The idea of turning into a rhythm game came out of wanting to do another project with my friend Ash who I used to make games with following University. Ash has recently started a new band and was looking for interesting things to do with the music outside of the typical marketing strategies. So making a rhythm game felt like a no-brainer. We decided to make it politically themed to parody the UK general elections which are currently taking place, and as we feel a lot of our current options for leaders talk out of their ass the fart theme just seemed like a good fit. 

One of the first things we did was sit and sift through a fart audio pack trying to pick out ones that sounded like specific instruments. Admittedly I wasn’t quite sure it would work, but when Ash delivered the first track with the vocals removed and the farts inserted I knew we were probably sitting on something special lol. The game contains 6 songs but we have plans to expand on this in a sequel based on the upcoming US elections.

All in all the game took us about 2 weeks of late nights to make, which is a long time to sit listening to fart music lol.

Up next I have a couple of short mini-games I want to make, as well as finishing Mazza 2 which is about 60% complete and I need to get myself back on with.

Check the game out and let us know what you think of it.
