# Poopstar

> Poopstar is a free pixel-art arcade game that runs in the browser on phones and computers. You play a very naughty dog with ninety seconds to make as much mess as you can: eat and drink, poo and pee on everything people love, wreck the furniture, bank your stink chain by hiding, and get away from the catchers. Made by a dad and daughter dev duo, in honour of their dogs Pepper and Ruby. Part of Imagen Boy.

## How to play

- Move with the arrow keys / WASD, the on-screen d-pad on a phone, or click to walk.
- Hold SPACE (B on a phone) to poo; let go in the green for a perfect drop. Bigger poos score more, and poos far from home score up to x2.
- Hold SHIFT (A on a phone) next to a lamppost, gnome, printer or sofa to pee on it. Anything electric goes bang.
- Double-tap a direction or hold X for zoomies; ram props to wreck them.
- Every mess adds to the stink chain. Hide in a bush or plant, or get back to your bed, to bank the points.
- Catchers patrol with cones of vision. Get caught and the chain is lost; get caught twice and the game ends.
