News “Give Me Toilet Paper,” a video game where you put a Joy-Con in a roll of toilet paper and roll it around, is available now.

It’s a shame that the game presents itself as shovelware, because that’s a genuinely creative use of the Joy-cons. It’s like the kind of thing that would’ve happily have ended up in a traditional Wario Ware title as an unlockable minigame if Nintendo had come up with the idea.

this post is slightly bumming me out lol—isn't there something exciting about a wacky, novel use of the hardware like this coming from a small developer with a tiny budget rather than from nintendo? isn't there some inherent charm to an unpolished little game that exists just to express one silly idea? i see the warioware comparison of course, and i'm not saying the game looks particularly good, but it's doing literally everything it needs to and is getting some nice traction for it—nothing about it is a shame imo

It’s easy to look at this and think it’s silly or whatever but I genuinely think this is brilliant. It’s so creative and inventive. It’s also 5 US DoDollars.

Waste of $5.
 
Okay finally sitting down to watch Jon's video on it. This game looks legitimately addicting lol.
 
That looks so fun. I saw someone asking about the amount of levels and yeah I think that's the only question that makes me wait a bit more before actually buying it lol, I love that kind of concept

Sorry, but this is just ridiculous. What a waste of money.

Lol how in the world is this a waste of money? What a ridiculous notion.

1. It's.... five bucks
2. Shouldn't be hard to find five bucks worth of entertainment from this
3. You don't have to buy it

Just because five bucks isn't a lot to you doesn't mean it isn't for somebody else. I'm a university student struggling for money, so yes, this would absolutely be a waste of money for me.

That's true, whomever is forcing you to buy this game is very mean-spirited indeed.

Because it's a cute gimmick that has no return value, and I highly doubt any of the posters arguing against it being a waste of money actually purchased the game.

You play games to have fun. All the reviews I've seen of it, from Jon Cartwright to other folks, have praised it. If you buy a game and enjoy it, why would you consider it a waste?





 
Play this game 20 minutes a day and you'll be doing this kind of shit

I did. I paid 6 Canadian dollars and played it for like an hour. It’s actually quite fun.

Playing games for “return value” sure does sound like someone trying to sell me on the blockchain or something

Return value, not return on investment.

I.e., "how much fun I'm getting out of it." $5 for one gameplay experience and never play it again is, in fact, a waste of $5.

And, again, I am SURE none of you defending this title have purchased it, or intend to.

"Played it for like an hour" my point exactly.

Never said I was finished with it. And besides, 6 bucks for an hour is fine. A movie ticket is like 15, and that’s around two hours.

Money’s value is subjective. I’m totally okay giving a video game creator with an idea I believe is creative and funny 6 bucks. You don’t have to be.

You wanna see the receipt or something? I bought it. You don’t have to believe me, but I don’t get why you’d think I’d lie about that.
 
Played for an hour just like Derachi and yeah, that was really fun! Currently at stage 21, seems to have 32 in total, so i'm expecting about 2 hours to beat the game since it's starting to get kinda hard.

So far that was a great experience: the gimmick is full of fun and almost every level in the first half introduced new mechanics (which is great and tbh I didn't expected it) and it seem the other will combine them.

Definitely not a waste of money considering the price (I paid 4€). I'm going to beat it probably tomorrow or tuesday and I'm already convinced this is a game I will show to my friends and family because of how funny the concept is.

(Room 15 and 20 were quite hard, have to take a break lmao)
 
The concept is good, actually.
If they could bring gameplay from “tap” and improve the gameplay loop, like boss levels and ways to customize the man in the toilet, you have a 10 dollar game with real IP power.

A simple fun game like angry birds.
