The Least Shocking Of All Shocking Games (Squirty Play)

[@JRubin3]

Oh no it’s a “sci fi creature” has to be one of the funniest things to say about an enemy in a game. Not a mutant, robot, or alien. Just sci fi creature. 🤣

[@MrPooleish]

Maybe it's a mutant robot alien zombie. Took all the tropes and mixed in a centrifuge filled with green glowing "sci-fi goo"?

[@TurbopropPuppy]

you know i'm something of a sci fi creature myself

[@josh-oo]

@@TurbopropPuppy Can confirm. Anime girls are very sci-fi.

[@RamoneKemono]

The best part is the author call themselves "Jesus Lovers compony"

[@alanfike]

These creatures are so scary, they're fictional!

[@hurroocane]

Squirty Plays are back the world is healing. This isn't even snark I love these videos so much.

[@LegallyBlindGamer727]

Saaame. i missed these so badly.

[@FriteVerte]

Same!:They're my favorite

[@harrygreenfeld4964]

Yep. Agreed. They're still my favourite 'let's play' player / person commentator, I can watch these over and over. Twitch has kind of ruined things a bit in this regard.

[@spaghetto_depressi]

I love the main characters walk. "Pooped my pants" and floaty sliding perfectly combined. God I've missed Squirty Plays!

[@EdwardDragon96]

I think I found the shocker: The game uses Assets from Rockstar Games, namely the AK 47 sound from GTA 4 and has not yet been hit with a cease and desist by R*/Take Two lawyers. Thats quite shocking because they usually do that even when you dont use any of their assets.

[@Guardsman_Shaxx]

Damn that is a shock

[@WiseYuri]

that minimap also seems VERY familiar, too.

[@Leetgrain]

A lot of developers use a bunch of the same soundbanks, could be that Rockstar themselves used a sound library or bought that specific sound. That or the developer literally did steal it from GTA

[@BenedictMHolland]

Or they literally changed a few bits on the audio file to make it slightly different.

[@ddjsoyenby]

so we're allowed to st3@l gta 4 assets..........boys, gals and enbys i think i got a plan for my next 700 asset flips.

[@LevelUpLeo]

JSS: "Nothing has been shocking about the game" Also JSS: "WOW! That is some FAST REGENERATION!" "WHOA! SCI-FI CREATURE!" *Sound effect when characters just move randomly* "That is a silly amount of shot gun shells!" "Look at this reloading!" "There was a monster in the monster!!!" "Those are some very very tiny buildings! Why?" "Shoulder switch? THAT'S A MECHANIC!" Maybe not shocking in the intended way, but I'd say there were some shocks! (I know what JSS, I'm just taking the piss for some fun. Happy to see Squirty Play back and that steam garbage is the same)

[@jaythomas468]

The mere fact that the developers felt the need to add “Will Shock You” as an ACTUAL parenthetical to this game’s title is goddamn hilarious.

[@Patrick-Phelan]

14:55 "Oh my god, it's got a shoulder switch. That's a mechanic! Fuck!" THERE. Right there. Steph was GENUINELY SHOCKED. The game DID SHOCK THEM.

[@lnsflare1]

Bullet holes in air could be a cool deliberate artistic choice in a sci-fi game, where you're either shooting someone with stealth technology or actually tearing through spacetime.

[@marocat4749]

Or if its a bmovie kind of game thats intentional just having a lot of fun XD . Its not a bad idea if balanced with being playable. I mean matri did it, and it could be like slowing time too.

[@adamplentl5588]

It wasn't tho it's just poorly made.

[@lnsflare1]

@@adamplentl5588 I know, I'm saying that it could be a neat feature in a better game.

[@lemming9984]

Oh, those bullet holes in the air - takes me right back to the first Medal Of Honour on PS1!

[@ddjsoyenby]

agreed.

[@lemonynose]

Honestly if this was someone’s first game… it’s not bad. It has a working minimap, guns that work and are different to each other, death animations, bloodsplatters, an inventory. It’s not good… but it’s a functioning game (kinda) and a great start

[@marocat4749]

And it has bmovie quality if stephanie has fun, so, its an ok starter, whodid i just needs either mold the gam after the quirks and be very fun an selfaware, which could work, seriously iof that is done in a fun way it can sideline issues. And it works. Siounds not like a bad basis to make a fun ok game around. I mean if you are selfaware its more funny than great and play around that with being funny with it.

[@LegallyBlindGamer727]

It's better than all those schlock horror/hentai games you see on steam nowadays. But not by much lol.

[@folver91]

Gilson is learning

[@jkclark5204]

@@marocat4749 Of course you'd say that as the developer,

[@inciaradible7144]

Considering all of those things could've been premade by other people, and likely are, I dunno; it's hard to judge. I mean, certain things are okay, but so much basic shit is missing that I really doubt this is an honest attempt at anything.

[@bobbybooshay5388]

This is almost certainly some 12 year old's 1st game they made in a week by cobbling together assets and thought it was good enough for Steam. which they're not wrong about.

[@wyrmh0le]

"Time to increase the average quality of Steam games!" they said, correctly.

[@m00nrac00n]

Yea, honestly...There is a Mini-Map, the Enemies...they move. Good job for a 12 year old.

[@bobbybooshay5388]

@@m00nrac00n I would bet they didn't make the mini map, it was an asset on the store that looked cool.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

That prisoner lady running on her broken feet was truly the funniest thing I've seen in some time. And it came out of nowhere it really got me.

[@aps8446]

3:07 at first glance, I thought the _sci fi creature_ dropped a piece of fence as loot. Turns out they were bullets. But look at that size, they were 3 anti-tank-like bullets, bigger than the pistol itself and the guy reloads the gun like normal. Great start right there.

[@Laxora_NZ]

They're clearly _sci-fi bullets_ since they drop from the _sci-fi creatures_ , so they don't adhere to typical physics! /s

[@approximateCognition]

This sure is one of the games of all time! Glad these are back Steph!

[@DrakeBarrow]

I especially enjoyed the part where the main character yelled "It's sci-fi creatureing time!"

[@yungguattari4924]

i "love" when in-engine graphics are kinda decent -because they are, you know, assety- but the title screen is such a hot mess because, you know, the developer is not... how do you say? ah, yes, an artist or a designer of any kind whatsoever.

[@bravo075]

Well, the developer truly is one of the developers of all time.

[@SlightlyUnsalted]

“FREEDOM IS ESSENTIAL” was on one of the picket signs at the anti-lockdown protest in Sydney last year… might explain why this game is bereft of competent design.

[@ddjsoyenby]

.......oh god did the domina guy make this..........no, no.....it wasn't a rant in the patch notes.

[@Mythosician06]

The developer appears to have more than one account. They've even responded to the only review that is present on the Steam Store page (as of this writing). They've even left a forum thread that is a weird endorsement of the game, with a pity pitch added for flavour.

[@XenonFae]

It’s been so long without a gameplay video or a Squirty Play that this is such a wonderful surprise!!! Less than a minute in and it’s already fantastic!!

[@Doodlesthegreat]

Five seconds in... "SWITH SIDE" Oh, this is one of THOSE games. Had to go get popcorn before watching the rest.

The 'putty patrol' model at 5:35 looks very like one of the enemies in Stellar Tactics, that you find in the aznari ruins. That bulbous, pointy arm is very distinctive.
