Steam Next Fest is underway, and among the flood of indie demos one stands out for its sheer eccentricity. Touted as a “retro poopy precision platformer,” Unko Technica delivers 150 compact, retro-styled stages in which you control a sentient piece of poop on a singular mission: find a toilet. The controls are delightfully minimal — essentially a single jump button — while boss encounters and a small in-game shop (where you can buy skins and other customizations) add variety and replay value.
Publisher Phoenixx Inc. leaned into the game’s absurd premise with a delightfully pun-filled announcement, describing mechanics that demand careful timing and creative use of the environment: bounce on springy surfaces to catapult yourself, trigger one-way platforms at the right moment, and use sticky smears to activate hidden routes. Collectible UN-KOINS let players unlock tougher challenges as they progress.
