Where do we even start? Indie publisher Fantastico Studio has revealed that Rainbows, toilets & unicorns, a bullet hell shoot 'em up, is coming to Switch next week.
Described by its developers as "the most irreverent shooter ever", Rainbows, toilets & unicorns tasks players with making their way through enemy waves, eventually taking on 15 bosses across five crazy worlds. Amazingly, there is actually a plot behind this madness:
The Story
Fed up with the world and exhausted by the hot weather – thank you climate change! – you resort to your last hope: your favourite unicorn flavoured ice cream (the recipe? A mystery wrapped in a riddle, inside an enigma). All of a sudden, you are struck by the urge to visit a bathroom (is the ice cream involved? We’ll never know), and the only option to avoid pooping yourself is the chemical toilet down the street. Thus began a bad trip in which you will have to face your greatest fears in a fight to the last splash.
So not exactly The Legend of Zelda-style story writing, then, but exciting all the same.
We also have a feature list and a selection of screenshots for you to check out:
Key features

I prefer the working title Woke Me Up Before You Go-Go.
Kinda like Chou Aniki. 😂
Feels a bit too inundated with pop-culture and current events. The soundtrack reminds me of the old flash games you'd play when the teacher wasn't looking in the school computer lab, so I might pick it up on steam if there's a soundtrack bundle.
Title sounds like it was thought up by 2008 internet memes
Nope. it looks dreadful and the sound is really annoying.

this is definitely the inspiration
So you fight disney, north korea, religion, incels, and the US republicans?
Looks a bit slow on the gameplay side, but there's a lot of color for sure!
Who Can We Offend?: Shmup Edition
Finally a meme trash game that looks good.
Looks rather annoying but if the gameplay’s tight it could be worth a look. Plenty games with awful plot and themes have decent gameplay.
Day 1 purchase!

Like for just knowing about Chou Aniki.
I prefer games with fewer water closets.
This looks interesting and I like the humor in it and such, let's just hope the gameplay is up to snuff! It's surprisingly hard to make a good shooter it seems.
