Save the puppies!

So I finally figured out that a game about poop wouldn't probably be good. So I took the game, changed the sprites around, and renamed it "Save the Puppies!"

"Giant tarantulas are in town and their diet consists mainly of dogs and humans. What's worse, you volunteered - before the giant tarantula invasion - to round up all the loose puppies! Can you save the puppies?"

The poop to get has now been replaced by a puppy, Nincom is now a human, and the flies are giant tarantulas. I also made it so that if a tarantula touches a puppy, you lose a life as well. This may get a sense of urgency to get a puppy because it might get touched by a tarantula.

What's bad about this is that I've had ZERO feedback on the game since I started working on it. I think part of the problem is that nobody wants to play a game about poop. Should I "grow up" and stop talking about poop and barf and other disgusting stuff?

What's next for the game?

Make more tarantula movements
Add more levels

Going to the Nincompoop website will give a link to the new Save the Puppies site. But I doubt anyone cares because nobody has given any feedback on the game so far. I wonder why I'm even working on the game at all. I sometimes wonder why I even exist. I don't serve a purpose. But then again, ants exist but they don't serve a purpose except to annoy me. But if I have no purpose, they don't either. Ants are stupid.
