Description

One line

Throw objects to hit people in the nuts.

Short

Nutshot Simulator is a comedy physics shooting gallery. Wind up, let fly, and connect with a satisfying boomph. Every hit sets off a fully simulated ragdoll and a slow-mo replay of the consequences. No score. No clock. Just the throw.

Long

Every location in Kumquat Cove is packed with a cast of oddballs, and your job is to work through all of them: a golden-hour backyard trampoline, a greasy 90s burger joint, a fluorescent-lit doctor's office, a glass-tank aquarium, a hard-hat construction site, a Venice Beach boardwalk, a Sunday-morning church, a roaring music festival, and more. Some victims are secret targets tucked where you'd never think to throw, and clearing a spot opens new locations and hidden paths across the map.

Priests. Foremen. Mascots. Skaters. Shepherds. If they're standing, they're a target.

Features

Mundane places. Zany people. Excellent aim.

About the developer

Nutshot Simulator is made by Daniel X Moore, a solo developer with a long-running habit of building small, weird web games. The game runs on a custom Three.js + Rapier engine with procedurally built blocky characters, and the same build that ships on Steam also runs in a browser tab.

Music

The soundtrack uses Creative Commons tracks by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) and Scott Buckley, licensed CC BY 4.0. Coverage that includes in-game audio is fine; the game's own clip exporter burns the attribution in.
