Experience the most fartastic fun you’ll ever have in Doofus Drop: the idiotic game that will fascinate and weird you out at the same time! Send Doofus flopping down treacherous mountain slopes by farting your way through hillside hazards like garbage eddies, giant forks, pits of worms, and the occasional comedic disembodied head. Collect stars to buy fabulous upgrades and powerups for your Doofus-launching gear, and see if you’re drop-tacular enough to earn the coveted Golden Streak: the ultimate cycling machine. If you’re really lucky, you might even catch a ride on the elusive Flatchy Bird! Doofus Drop is a moronic masterpiece of addictive gaming mayhem, unique and captivating art, and top-notch fart jokes. If you don’t think farts are funny, stop lying to yourself and play Doofus Drop. --- WHY YOU’LL LOVE DOOFUS --- • DEFY the mayhem of the mountain as you strive for amazing drops. • FART your way through obstacles in a delicious frenzy of flatulence. • EARN stars to unlock hilariously useful powerups and items. • COMPETE against players worldwide for the best drop distance. • UNLOCK achievements and prove your drop-tacular skills. --- WORDS FROM THE MASSES --- “I don’t know why this game is so fun. It just doesn’t make any sense!" “Farts rule. I approve this game wholefartedly.” “That is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. I want more!" "At first I loved Doofus Drop for its style and concept, then I played it for a minute or two and thought it was crap, then I played it for a few more minutes anyway; upgraded some stuff, accepted my own limitations within the game and settled down to enjoy the lack of effort and easy drama. Now two days later I think it is a work of rare genius and still can't put it down. It's a good game to play after a hard day contemplating the meaning of life: playfully arguing with a friend about which series of Power Rangers had the highest special effects budget, or debating what you'd miss the most after an apocalypse. It's safe to say Doofus Drop is not for everyone*, but the emotional thrill of achieving a sweet long drop (through no personal skill, merit or entitlement) is just peachy. The game invites a sort of zen-state, where the less you care about the outcome and the more you pay attention to the details the further you appear to travel, but it might just be me. You're welcome! x *Do you like pointless footnotes? If not I don't think you'll like Doodle Drop, but feel free to prove me wrong. People who like strategy games probably won't like it either, but change is good for you."
