WHAT IS "TRY ONLY WANTS ONE THING (IT'S DISGUSTING)"


you are TRY. try is HUNGRY. get FOOD. dodge BAD GUYS.

in TRY ONLY WANTS ONE THING (IT'S DISGUSTING), you control try (the triangle person) with either WASD or the arrow keys, and get as many bowls of cheesy puffs as you can! your score climbs up as you get bowls, but don't get too distracted. some cheesy HATERS aren't impressed with your choice of snack, and will show their ugly mugs to halt your feast. stick to your guns, and see how long you can last!

the game gives one of three ranks upon losing. reach a score of 100 or higher for the best one! see that as your "win condition," if you'd like.

CREDITS

caveys - anything original that isn't mentioned below? safe bet it was from him (and he also happens to be the very very handsome fellow writing this text)

maelantern - designed and concepted big worm and his behavior/mechanics

candycoated_rage - invented the poisonous puffs. blame her (also thought up leonard follower's name. his previous name was baddy waddy so it's safe to say we dodged a bullet here)

none of the music in this game is original, and all pieces were composed by toby fox and handled by materia collective for DELTARUNE. TOWOT is not meant to infringe on the copyright, and was simply created as a non-profit joke game for fun. if you'd like song names and direct links to their wiki pages (which feature the various platforms they can be streamed on), go off!

AIRWAVES/Air Waves [main gameplay]

Volume Adjustment [worst rank]

Catswing (Snippet) [mid rank]

With Hope Crossed On Our Hearts [best rank]

THE HANDY-DANDY BOOKLET

NOTE: THE HANDY-DANDY BOOKLET CONTAINS INSTRUCTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS FOR EVERY CHARACTER!! REFER TO THIS AFTER SEEING ALL THE GAME HAS TO OFFER, IF YOU NEED A POINTER, OR YOU'RE JUST WINDOW SHOPPING AND PROBABLY WON'T GIVE THE GAME A SHOT!!

TRY


what's wrong with a little midnight snack?

you're in try's shoes, as she tries to scratch her cheesy puffs itch. you control her with either WASD or the arrow keys.

while the game never ends, you should still keep your eyes on the prize, just as she does. for every bowl of cheesy goodness you retrieve, your score will climb up and you'll get a speed boost, the latter capping at 94 bowls. it might be tough to control, but she can't help it, okay? she just gets excited, is all!

unfortunately, because of her snack preference, there's a target on her back that seven characters are aiming for. help her out by guiding her around the playfield, and she just might return the favor (she actually won't, but it'd still be really nice of you.)

LEONARD FOLLOWER


the first. he sees everything.

leonard follower will wander into the playfield after achieving a score of 5 bowls. he's a permanent threat.

leonard is one of the simplest of the bunch, simply approaching you at a moderate pace. he gets faster for each bowl you retrieve, his speed capping at 28 bowls. if he catches you, it's lights out.

fortunately for you, there's some in-fighting going on, and he's restricted by the presence of two characters. continue reading for more information!

FUNNY FACE


isn't he just the funniest?

funny face will join the party after achieving a score of 15 bowls. his spawns are random, though frequent.

now, corporeal contact doesn't bother him, but incorporeal contact freaks him the hell out! if you got tapped by something you couldn't see, you'd be pretty shaken up too! so, to scare him off, break the fourth wall a bit and give him a left click with your computer mouse. he won't see it coming! however, if you let him linger for a little over two seconds, it's game over.

once you've reached a score of 45 bowls or higher, subsequent funny face spawns will have him at half his size. seems like he's trying to mix up his strategy. always be quick on the trigger.

OL' EAGLE

she isn't even an eagle...?

ol' eagle jumps in after achieving a score of 20 bowls. her spawns are random, though infrequent.

she has a keen eye for anything active, and a bone to pick with you and leonard follower. she'll appear with her eye shut, before snapping it open in exactly one second. be as still as a statue when she's watching, otherwise it's over for you. leonard stops in her wake, so he isn't a concern when you're idling (seriously, his kill function is completely disabled while he's idling.)

POISONOUS PUFFS

* You begged for mercy... but the Poisonous Puffs showed none.

the poisonous puffs show their ugly mugs after achieving a score of 30 bowls. they're a permanent threat, like leonard.

they have the simplest behavior of the bunch, appearing a few steps away from the cheesy puffs. simply avoid running into it, or try will shove it down her gullet and suffer the consequences. zero self-preservation from that girl, huh?

the poisonous puffs were created by candycoated_rage! blame them.

BIG WORM

talk about a rush hour.

big worm will begin rushing through the playfield after achieving a score of 35 bowls. his spawns are random, though frequent.

big worm actually doesn't really care about your cheesy puff conquest, he's just really running late for work. and he takes his work seriously, so he's not stopping for anything. occasionally, an orange alert will appear indicating a portion of the screen is in danger. you get one second to weave out the way before big worm dashes through the area! his body lingers on the screen for a few moments, due to its length. to avoid becoming roadkill, get out of his way and wait patiently for him to pass by. note that he can appear both vertically and horizontally!

leonard follower is freaked out by big worm, so he'll slow to a crawl while the latter is active. if he happens to get caught in the rush, he'll be injured for three seconds before healing his wounds and getting right back to the chase. while injured, he doesn't move and cannot kill you.

big worm was created by maelantern!

JESTER

who's THIS jokester??

jester will begin playing god after reaching a score of 50 bowlstheir spawns are inconsistent, be ready for anything.

jester is incredibly unoriginal, and instead of thinking up their own mechanics, decides to take pages from funny face and ol' eagle. they'll imitate either characters' appearance and attempt to copy either encounter, where you must do the exact OPPOSITE of what you would normally do. in other words, if you sus out a fake funny face, DON'T click on it, and if you sniff out a fake ol' eagle, KEEP moving. fortunately, they haven't honed down their imitation skills, and they'll always be off on details such as appearance or sound effects. keep a keen eye, and an ear open. shortly after dealing with a jester, the character they imitated will come in on the scene, checking the commotion. getting tricked by the jester holds a fate worse than death. being laughed at. oh, and death.

BART


eat pant

bart reports for duty after achieving a score of 65 bowls. he's a permanent threat, like leonard and the poisonous puffs.

he just wants to watch the world burn! when he's activated, he ticks down from 40 seconds. if the time strikes zero, he explodes, and you lose! it isn't all grim though, as he can't help but be intrigued by the cheesy puffs. for each bowl you retrieve, he adds an extra second to the timer. he also finds humor in seeing funny face and jester fail their attacks, adding an extra two seconds for the former and one second for the latter. keep a steady pace of puffs and encounters coming to keep him at bay.
