Throne Trouble

About the game

The first ten foods are on the keys from the start. Prune Juice is a steady push forward, Ghost Pepper sends you straight up on fire, Mega Fizz Cola pops three times and then you bounce like a rubber ball, Magic Beans give you a tiny toot and then a KA-BEAN! a beat later, Corn on the Cob skips you along the ground like a stone, Gas Station Sushi is usually a jackpot (sometimes it's food poisoning), Triple Espresso goes flat out and cancels your fall, Someone's Birthday Cake floats you like a balloon with sprinkles everywhere, Brain Freeze freezes you mid-air and then thaws with a bang, and a Whole Rotisserie Chicken is a MEGA DUMP with triple the poop.

There are 43 foods in the pantry altogether, and the Menu Board lets you put any ten you own on the keys. Twenty old favorites come back as levels open up (Beef Jerky turns you into a trampoline, a Mystery Burrito ends in a slow-motion fainting-goat flop, Cursed Leftovers summon a rude ghost and Fartmaxxing Juice jets for as long as you hold the key), and thirteen spicy ones get earned on the Scoville Ladder.

That's the Spicy Challenge - twelve seconds and thirteen peppers from Cascabella all the way to Pepper X. Each pepper names a key and you mash it on the beat to keep cool, because the hotter you launch the higher you go, and 100° is a MELTDOWN.

Bite at the top of an arc for an APEX CHOMP or right before you hit the ground for a CLUTCH. Different foods in a row build your combo from DOUBLE DUMP all the way up to THE FULL MENU, but the same food twice is half strength and your gut only holds so many bites, so spend them well.

There are ten places to plop, from Grandma's Backyard BBQ and Cul-de-Sac Calamity through Downtown Doo-Doo, The County Fart, Brown Sand Beach, Sewer Surf City, Mt. Brr-ownie Ski Resort and Mount Colon to The Moon (Somehow) and The Porcelain Palace. Each one has its own crowd to splat (they have opinions), its own stuff to bounce off like trampolines, sprinklers, ski jumps and lava, and bronze, silver and gold distances to beat.

Your coins go on a Bigger Gut, Throne Turbo, Iron Stomach, Butt Wax and Extra Fiber, plus five levels for every food, and there are ten sitters to unlock who each have a favorite food that hits harder. There's also a pfp photo booth for making a profile picture (hair, hats, faces, poses, backdrops from every level, frames, props and a caption, saved as a PNG or a four-shot photo strip), and you can watch any flush again in slow motion, scrub through it frame by frame and save the clip.
